Visitors began to enter the city i'm consid-
erable numbers yesterday. despite the fact
that the rains of Friday. Saturday and
Sunday had made it impossible for all the
preliminary arrangements to be completed
for the opening day. even with extra forces
of workmen. The streets devoted to fes-
tlvai purposes presented a chaotic appear
ance the greater part of the day yesterday.
but in the afternoon the confusion showed
signs of resolving itself into something like
order. A stroll through Capitol and Senate
avenues. between Washington and Ohio.
and the intervening cross streets. revealed
the fact that but few Of the tents and
booths for the midway attractions were
completed. A flaring sign told the gaping
multitude not to fail 20 see ''the statue
that turns to life,' but the place I'm which
the statue is TO perform this miraculous
feat was in process of construction. In
front of the former surgical institute stood
diminutive wired cage containing three
or four educated pigs, which, small and
slavering. squealed and chewed impatiently
while their exhibition house was being
hastily thrown together. The two moving
picture shows were apparently ready 10
begin to gather in the dimes as soon as the
grotesque parade should break ranks at
the entrance Of The Beautiful Orient last
night. From the appearance OF the struc-
ture that intended TO be the electrical
fountain il seemed that the opening OF this
feature would have to be postponed until
tonight.
IN FULL SWING TO-DAY.
There can be little doubt that the carnival
will be finished and in fun swing to-day.
The promoters declare that it would. TO
matter what the cost might be. They re-
gret that the rain interfered with their
arrangements quite as keenly as does the
public but they insist they have done their
| level best
