The Entrance Fec
Matter

probable that there will be no reduction
in the midwinter fair entrance fee after
all. The promoters have no doubt ar
rived at the conclusion that a cheaper
fee would bankrupt the enterprise. That
most every one is satisfied with the
present rate lie borne ont by the large a..
tendance during the last week. The
best the management would do was to
reduce she Ice on special days.
The German exhibit which has been
delayed ON account OF their products not
arriving is now fast approaching COM
pletion, the last carload coming in yee-
terday. The exhibit will occupy an en-
tire building built expressly for the
purpose.
Monday tho Southern California ed.
itore met in convention In the reception
room Of the central and northern coun-
ties building. Anexchange OF congratu-
lations and speech making were the
order Of things, after which q bountiful
Tepast was INDUCED in, the editors being
dined and wined in q most hospitable
manner.
The attendance the last two days has
been that oI the well-to do element, and
the conceesionists cay that their bust.
ness has been much better than at any
time since the opening. The pleasant
weather has had a whole lot to do with
the increased attendance OF late.
The Los Angeles people are here in
large numbers. Today | saw no less
than 100 Angelefios.
The lateat attraction is PhilIon, the
equilibrist, iu his wonderful feat on the
spiral tower. The nature OF his per-
formance is standing on huge round
ball and rolling 1t to the top OF the
tower with his feet. He alao has
steam carriage which ia really wonder
full, and from appearances the use Of
horses will in few years be thing OF
the past. Its rate OF speed is 10 miles
an hour, and 1t is capable of carrying
two persons.
Childrsn's day was gala one for the
urchins, most all the concessions reduc-
ing their admissions in order that the
little tots might aee everything at very
small cost. In the Southern California
building the place was literally packed
with them, every lad and lassie receiv-
ing as q present nice big orange.
There were l5 900 oranges distributed
among the children. 1t was stated that

away that number. THE is erroneous,
as the Les Angeles exhibit gave it's pro
rata, all the counties IA the Southern
California building jointly contributing
them. The oranges disposed OF were OF
the fret shipment, which were taken
from the exhibit.
The Midway Plaisance is the greatest
place on the lair grounds. All kinds OF
side show attractions are lined along tts
thoroughiares. Every attraction has a
'spieler" for their show, and 1t Is
amusing to watch the antics that are
indulged in. The Cairo etreets and the
Egyptian tbeater gather the crowds
The Cairo streets at the midwinter fail
far surpassss those at the worid'B fair.
This is often remarked by people who
have seen them both. The beautiful
Belle Eoya 10 the drawing card in the
Oriental village. She now performs her
celebrated dance without any iDIerter-
ence. n tfi
Commencing Monday, April 18Th, the
renowned Eugene Sandow will appear.
Those visiting the Vienna Prater will
not only have an opportunity to listen
to beautiful music, but will also have
the pleasure of viewing. what he is
termed, q perfect man, and his mar
velous feats OF strength.
White Clouds Indians have all
struck. II looks as If they all intend
to join the Industrial army, in order
to reach their homes.
Southern California has done more TO
advertise her resources at the midwinter
fair than it did at the worlds fair. Mr..
Virgins says the exhibit ia 20 timss
handsomer and more attractive than
the display at Chicago.
The Southern California building ia SO
conspcuously located that no visitor
can escape seeing it or its attractive dis
play. There are no less than 5000
visitors daily, while on special days tho
attendance figures up roundly between
$4,000 and 60, 900 persons.
Capt. N. II. Chittenden's collection of
New England and British Columbia In
dian relics is decidedly interesting.
The management is making elaborate
preparations for the coming Mardi GraH
iestival which will take place on the
18th. The celebration will be similar to
the fiesta which will shortly be given
in Los Angeles.
The day will be marked by special
exercices. It will be legal holiday.
