CHILDREN'S DAY.

                              October 15, 1898.

       A low admission fee had been fixed for the children on this day and  
they came in thousands form the city and surrounding country to   participate
in the closing day of the Great Peace Jubilee.  No formal   exercises were held
but they sang patriotic songs with the accompaniment   of Innes Band in the
afternoon on the Plaza, and spent the day as only   children can, in the
enjoyment of the many interesting amusements   throughout the Midway, on the
lagoon and in the Exhibit Buildings.

       Thus closed the most successful week in point of attendance and  
interesting ceremonies of all the Exposition period.
                            _____________________

       Sunday following Peace Jubilee Week brought a snow-storm with a high  
wind, which for several days marred the comfort of visitors on the   grounds
and necessitated the postponement of several special celebrations   which had
been planned.  The Oddfellows, had prepared for a great   gathering and
celebration to be held October 17th.  This was postponed   indefinitely on
account of the storm.
