The moving pictures sent TO Seattle
by the Alaska.Iukon Exposition Com
missioners are proving to be a great
attraction.
A letter from the secretary of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce gives the
following information as to attend
ance:
1.-THE exposition is meeting, and even
exceeding, expectations in the volume
of attendance. On the opening day
more than 10000 people entered the
grounds; had IL not been for a heavy
rain storm in the evening the number
would have exceeded 100000. Since
then the average attendance has been
from $4,000 to 10000, running up to
25, 900 and 10000 on Saturday and Sun
day; Saturday, July 3, it was 100000;
| Sunday, July 4, 81 900, and yesterday,
July 5, 81 900; the total to date ex.
ceeds 100000. This, Of course, includes
both free and paid admissions. Every
one is delighted with the fair and the
outlook is bright"
The steadily increasing sale of canned
| pineapples and the demand for fans,
mats, leis, etc, afford the greatest en-
couragement to the committees plans
for opening up a sales exhibit at At
lantic City, where, during the height
of the summer season the daily arrivals
exceed on an average 100000 people,
the number of yearly visitors being es-
timated at 100000. During August
of last year there were over 10000
bathers In the surf at one time at this
great American resort, and during the
| coolest days of winter the number Of
guests at the different hotels averages
about 10000. While but a small per.
I centage of the 100000 may be ex-
pected to visit Hawaii, all of them can
be interested in our pineapples, coffee,
and other products, and hope sincere
ly that shortly after the beginning of
the new year the committee may see
its way clear to inaugurate its Atlantic
City bureau.
