Aii important -fop toward beatifying tho
irrouiids aaa taken yesterday by Director-Gets ili!
I Lavis, by whose authority BR s,r,o-r was issu.*d
forbidding any further deUveriea of exhibits

these belated contributions to tho Fair are sn few
and unimportant, relatively, that their tardy

After all. as the visitor to th" Fair sunn disc ivers,
the buildinga tlieuiselvea are toe aupr*-me nttnotton
ol the Exposition, and tl-etoaurpasalngmerit and
beauty would repay n visit t i the Fair fruin any
paint, hoare set dtotHtit, even if a sinai.* carload
of exhibits had not moan laid down within tho
walls of Jackson Talk. The public, however,
though it appreciates, no doubt, the -inhifeot
ural tnagniftronce of the Fair huibtittga, is dis
poaed to get all it caa mr the relatively hiRh
price of adtnisMon to the e-mund*.. fifty cents, and
it trill, apparently, he drawn to the Exhibition
In considerable numbers only when the tthtmt

Th.* strength of this parfssje was densttatsatratasa
yesterday, tvhen th.* paid Bdmissiona f.-ll slightly
below 15,000, ami Brain to-day. when the pay>
lng visitors tn the i':iir scarcely exceeded that
number. At thi- rate an average of ondit, mt
r.0,000 tu 75,000 visitor-, a day, will nut be
leached until June or July.
