~ Halloween merrymakers
wrecked large areas of the $55,-
100000 Worlds Fair in its closing
hours early today, tearing build
ings apart, trampling elaborate
gardens, throwing hundreds OF
benches and chairs into lagoons
and tossing police in behind them.
The mob, 100000 strong at mid
night, took complete possession of
eighty-three miles of streets and
concessions, drank everything in
sight except Lake Michigan, and
snatched everything movable as
souvenirs.
Men, women and children faint
ed in the crush along the Street
of Villages, where bankers aban-
doned their posts to aid guards in
keeping the crowd outside their
gates. Police we're called to queu
dozens of fist fights and two am
balances of the exposition's en-
Urgency hospital screamed their
way continually across the packed
grounds.
Harried fair officials said they
would be unable to determine
complete attendance figures until
late today. Plans to close the
gates at midnight were abandoned
after a screaming mob had bat
tered through 200 police reserves
and demolished a section of fence.
Buses, taxicabs, street cars and
private automobiles still were
pouring thousands into the
grounds at a. m.
The years siXteen-millionth
visitor passed the Twelfth street
turnstiles yesterday afternoon,
bringing attendance for 1888 and
1884 to 38,565,859. Attendance
for the day was estimated unoff1-

the hood of a $4,000 automobile

If all goes we'll on the 2,400-mile

Captain P. G. Taylor, his navigator,
should be in Oakland for a trench

hours after their departure from
