ticket of this kind has been called for
by manufacturers, merchants and 9TH

arrangements tickets are good only on
the day Of issue, and are Of no use for
such distribution.
TO prevent the countoriciting of the

SUCCESS ToLD IN FlGUREs.
Attendance at the National Export Exposi-
ton On the Way Toward
=. Million and a Half.

Philadelphia, NOv. q. The growing
popularity Of the National Export ox-
position is best attested by the increas-
ing attendance The daily average OF
the number Of persons who have passed
in at the turnstiles has steadily gained.
In spite of the fact that as the exposi-
tion progressed the weather became
less favorable for excursions 70 the
great show. That meteorological condi-
tions have not seriously interfered with
the success Of the enter a ,9e is no
doubt attributable 70 the - that the
visitor who has bravcd the clements TO
reach the exposition finds In the build
ings a warmth and cheerfulness from
which depressing exterior conditions do
not detract. Once within the home of
the great show the visitor Is forgetful
OF the obstacles encountered In reach
ing It, and as all who have gone away
pleased (few could have departed other
wise) have constituted an agency for
Fastening visits by acQuaintances, the
growth in admissions IS readily ca
planned. Then. too, those who have
found fascination in the attractions at
the exposition. and yielded TO the de-
sire for repeated visits, must be taken
into consideration in accounting for
the upward tendency OF the figures
showing the daily attendance.
The record Of admissions for the Al
lecular days of the exposition, from
Sept IA to Oct. 81, inclusive, offers
some interesting comparisons as show
ing the growing success of the enter
prise. The total admissions for the Al
days were 774,63G a daily average of
lS,S93la. This average. however. was
exceeded by that for October which
was slightly more than 207Si.
The admissions for the last 10 days
Of September were 234. .236. an average
OF 1866. For the first 10 days of Octo-
Der these figures climbed to PSF, SOS for
admissions and 1871 as the average
The greatest gain, however was shown
during the last II days of October, when
252,532 persons, an average OF 22957
each day. were within the exposition
safes. Taking the average for the lat
ter period as q basis for the first fve
date approximate within 100, 900 of 1 =
days Of November the admissions %
100000. Carrying out the Same basis OF
calculation for the remainder of the ex.
position period, the grand total for 6s
days will not fall far short of a million
and a half, about the population OF
Philadelphia
The largest attendance for any one
day was that of Saturday last, the ad.
missions numbering 1852. the great
rush occurring in the evening, when IL

What will undoubtedly constitute the
most brilliant dramatic event of Will

cur at the Opera House next Tuesday
evening, when the stellar alliance of
Herbert Kelcey and Effie Shannon will
present Clyde Fitch's American drama.
The Moth and the Flame" This pro-

its New York production for hundred

making its performance rank among
the most notable successes Of the

dubbed "whiskers" by all who know
him, and as he is always in a congenial
frame of mind his extreme good nature

The attraction for Saturday afternoon
and night at the Opera House is a
rural comedy drama of Yankee farm
life, entitled Isl Plunkard." and will
be presented by the young character
actor, J. c. Lewis supported by his big
company of talented comedians. 1t
deals with rural New England and
some of the more vicious aspects OF
city life. The comedy is in four acts,
two of which take place on Sis farm,
near Fairview, Conn, and the others in
New York, where the rural representa-
tive meets with some wonderful adven-
lures. J. G. Lewis appears as the char
acter OF the traditional Downeaster, ST
Plunkard, whose chief reason for being
is to serve as foil to the conventional
villain.
