THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION.


Buffalo, N. Y, May 7.-Yesterday's
attendance at the Pan-American expo
sition grounds was the best OF any
day since the opening Of the exposi-
ton. Superintendent Townsend, who
has charge Of the installation of ex-
hibits, said last night that there was
not the slightest doubt that every
thing would be practically completed
by May 20, when the dedication cere-
monies will be held.
The Midway concessionaires, 80 far
as known, have taken no steps to
bring the matter Of Sunday opening
OF their shows before the courts. "
Is said thnt next Sunday several Of
them will throw open their doors to
the public and remain open until
closed by the exposition police. This
movement win be made In order to
conform with what the concessions
aires say is authorized by their con-
tracts with the exposition company.
They simply wish to establish tho
fact that they were forced to close
by the exposition officials in the event
Of any legal steps being taken later.
