attendance has been something millions it is far short of seven when the exposition expected was for the ened 4 it is ifs is scarcely possible at this exposition to come ice the attendance it h je

dividend it i a 0 a minds of the stockholders stock holders thrond bond holders are a tittle little bit anxious wat of their bonds yet t we pa payment awe ere is ale 91 doubt doubt that the receipts will sufficient I 1 ent to 4 discharge csc harge all obligations W bew this nature it may be safely said tot t the fair is not a financial financial success fla t is a success in every other way io wever and this fact is is being brought 6 the attention of the people more day from now on the obly every Wen attendance dance of people from the rural ds dis acts will steadily increase and country pe at the fair will predominate as an educator the worlds fair is the greatest test institution ns tit ution of the age and the manner fi riner in in which the american youth seizes upon the opportunity afforded him to gain a knowledge of the world 10 I 1 simply astonishing the boys and arts fresh from school are literally de vo everything in sight in their search tor for knowledge the notebook note book aad are indispensable and the ym A pe ole afe re improving eve every in df nt and gaining knowledge whig which they wib make good use of ia w after life the influence of the worlds world fair will be noticeable for years to come in in every portion of the united states there is scarcely a village or hamlet that will riot receive a direct benefit in consequence of a visit of some enterprising youth or maiden to the worlds fair an englishman remarked to me ae the other day that the intelligence of the american americ n youth was simply surprising he said the young people seemed to be constantly on the lookout for practical things and that the way they did the fair was a pleasing sight to him it is safe to say that the sights and scenes at the exposition will furnish the r majority of themes for essays and papers in in a great number of schools during the coming winter and the young people who have been so fortunate as to see the exposition will live give the rest of the students the benefit of their experience in the essays which they will prepare the history of the worlds fair will thus be written and rewritten a great many times and the knowledge gathered will be disseminated thoroughly I 1 have noticed in the throng of students quite a number of bright utah boys and girls who have taken copious notes and will be prepared to write any number of interesting in 9 articles upon the exposition during the coming winter and aind I 1 know that many of their papers will be extremely interesting besides being of great benefit to all who have the pleasure ot of hearing them discuss the great fair the interest centering around utah day is steadily increasing the exposition authorities in view of the fact that the tabernacle choir is going to be here intend to make a special eff effort ort to induce a large number of people to attend the fair on that day this they will try to accomplish by means of special cial advertising in the papers throughout the country they propose to call special attention to utah and the choir and it is safe to say that thousands will come especially to hear the T tabernacle be r choir the great festival hafl hall has been secured for the concert and all arrangements have been completed for the observance of the day that it will be an interesting feature goes without saying and that thai it will accomplish a great deal for utah is another self evident fact from present indications a great number of utah people will be in attendance on that occasion this will certainly be the fact if the railroads make suitable rates which there is is every reason to believe they will A reasonable rate will be sufficient to induce a great number of people to visit the exposition in september and october which will evidently be the great months ot of the fair the director general has intimated that he is in favor of extending the fair a few weeks in in november but this is not definitely decided there is quite a general desire for the exposition to be continued next year but that will depend entirely upon the local directors if the chicago people desire it the fair will probably be continued another year but this will not be settled until probably the middle of october so I 1 would not advise anyone who is contemplating visiting the pair fair to put it off with the idea that they cn can come next year when times alme will be better the judges judge have shave all been appointed and they are now busy making a athur of inspection in their respective departments in the utah mineral depart denart ment some of the judges have mani manifee fes ted great interest and are examining the mineral specimens very carefully chief maguire is on his best behavior beha and never allows an opportunity to pass unimproved when any of the judges fudges are in sight he is such an interesting talker that they call frequently to have him explain some special feature of the exhibit they often propound questions to h him im and ask his opinion on different matters and he is fast gaining a reputation as the expert on minerals mine mineralogy ralo fy in the mining building U up p to the present time no questions have been propounded that he has not been able to answer satisfactorily superintendent is on the lookout for the judges in the agricultural department and always sees that they are treated with due consideration and he is prepared at all times to call their attention to the main features of the utah exhibit he will certainly capture an award on irrigation and he expects it on grains and grasses
