EXPOSITION ENDS.
Great Show at Paris Comes to q
~Close-Total Attendance over
100000

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE booming Of a
cannon from the first story of the
Eifel tower announced that the ex-
position of 1900 had ceased to exist.
It ended in a blaze of illumination,
the final evening being celebrated by
a night fete. The attendance, how
ever. was small, visitors being kept
away by a cold, d~rizzling rainfall. Of
fetal statistics show that the exposi-
ton was a gigantic success from the
point of view of attendance, which
was double that Of the exposition of
1889, when 25.121,975 passed the gates.
When the gates of the exposition OF
1900. closed Monday evening more than
100000 persons had passed through.
The British and Belgians headed the
list in 1889 in point of numoers; but
this year the Germans were first and
the Belgians second, with the British
for behind. Americans also formed a
very noticeable contingent. Indeed
they were immeasurably more numer-
u than at the previous exposition.
The record paying day this year
brought out more than 600, 1000 visitors.
