The morning call., 1894-02-08


In view of the announcement that four
of the principal concessions at the exposi-
ton had been served with attachments
during the last few days members of the
Concessionaires' Club have been advocat-
ing a reduction in the price of admission to
the grounds from 80 cents to % cents.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon the executive committee to
secure the desired dimnution of the en-
trance fee. ConcessiOnaires have repre-
sented that such a change would prove
benefit to the exposition directly, because
more than double the present number of
visitors would pass through the turnstiles
under the reduced rates. An Indirect ad-
vantage would also be secured to the
management through the Increased profit
in percentages from concessions. The
executive committee held a protrac ted
meeting in consideration Of this proposal
yesterday, but no conclusion was reached.

concessions and the contents of the shops
forming the streets of Cairo were attached

The most important business which the com
mlttee on entertainment transacted was the
assignment of special days for celebration by
the various fraternal organic lions represented
IN this State. IL was understood by the Socie-
Ties Interested that on their special days all
men in regalia should be omitted through the
exposition gates without charge.
This idea was not shared by Director General

disagreement yesterday between representa-
lives of the fraternal organizations ana Mr. de
Young. The latter official said that the most
advantageous offer he could make was a
reduction of the entrance fee from so TO 3712
cents on special days. The society represent
atlves replied that il The director generals offer
