the p franc shares of the big wheel are down 10
three francs The Columbia Theatre is bankrupt;
the 100 franc shares of ''Venise Il Paris have
fallen to eight francs
The enormous financial loss already incurred
does not however. fall upon the management of
the Exposition, but upon disappointed investors
because the management has already sold its
bonds, and by this expedient has received the
money in advance for sixty million entries and
II is already certain that this number of en-
tries can be reached. In the interest Of the
public it seems pity that the management is
no longer interested in the Exposition finan-
cially and has nothing to expect. Con
sequenty it can afford to be Indifferent and let
the Exposition take care of itself. Meanwhile,
the complaints and grumbling that the author
tiles are taking no initiative and showing no
desire TO add the lustre of attractiveness to the
fair are becoming louder and louder
