-AIlethe flags at Sunset City were at half
mast yesterday out of respect TO the mem
. DRY. of the murdered President of the
French Republic. The fair management
also placed the tri-color at halimast on the
post of honor near the Administration
building, and will continue it there during
the week.
As.an additional token of mourning the
French section in the grounds remained
closed all day and transacted no business.
The doors of the Italian section also re-
manned unopened for the same reason.
This is the last full week of the fair be-
fore the official closing on July 4. and it is
now becoming a matter of interest just
what will happen at the grounds after the
wnd-up. The question is asked repeat
edly by visitors to the various concessions,
but even those VINO are supposed to be
most Interested IN the subject ar6 hardly
prepared yet TO say what they will do.
Either they have not yet made up their
minds, or else they do not care to make a
premature announcement of-theIT plans.
The exposition management has stated
decidedly that they will entertain DO
proposition for prolonging the show after
the set time, but by their contracts the
coucessionafres and others may remain
until September. The Vienna Prater
people will stay after the 4th, but for how
long no decision has been reached.
Before the week is out the other exhi b.
tiers and shows will have come to some
conclusion. 1t is thought that many Will
drift off with a. little delay s possible, as
their profits are not OF such proportions as
to warrant their lingering. Others who
lost money in the start have during the
past few weeks been doing great deal
better, and they will in all pro ba bility re-
main for the last nickel.
The ATTENDANCE yesterday was fairly
good for a Monday. Among the visitors

They were somewhat disappointed, how
ever, upon reaching the Tulare County
building TO find that no arrangements had
been made there for any unusual demon
stratiOn.
The managers of the exhibit, which
occupies one of the most conspicuous
places in the Horticultural and Agri-
cultural building, apOlogiZed for n OF max
ing a special occasion by saying that they

Venrs and providing other attractions.

though, made their headquarters at the
exhibit, and INDUCED IN social greetings
aud the making up OF parties to stroll
around the exposition.
There was also an excursion party of
300 people from Fresno, and they Joined IN
with tn cir southern neghbOrs in having a
