How the Throng a the Chicago Fair | is Directed. “MANY PLAIN-SPEAKING PLACARDS. | How the Great Rush Can Be Avoided. —-+ HINTS FOR THE UNINITIATED. ——_>——— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ‘Curcaco, June 19.—How to manage n great crowd, how toget it intoa certain inclosure and how to get it out, and how to make it behave | itself while it is there—this is one of the grea! | est, if not the greatest, difficulties that the ma agement of the world’s fuir hus had to contend with from the very beginning. It isall a question of arrangements, for a crowd of human beings is like a flock of sheep, and can do nothing for | itself, whereas it will step into any corner or passageway that is presented in front of it. |" ‘The crowd ut the world’s fair is manipulated | by passageways, signs a: men who lead it the | way it should go. Tue signs ure many of them im several Innguages. “This way to elevated trains” ic translated into German and Frenc, and other signs some- | times include a Swedish translation. The hand, pointing in a certain direction, and the sign | | “Entrance” or “Exit,” asthe case may be, is found everywhere But it has been found that |signs are not sufficient guides to a large crowd. Most people can read them, but others | cannot or do not, and these are the ones that invariably try to goin where they ought to go out, and who, seeing a stream of people going | in a certain direction, ut once start in an oppo- | site direction. It is in this way that blockades are occasioned. and whenever a blockade takes place in a crowd of thousands of people there is danger of a stampede or a panic, with con- sequent danger to life and limb. ‘That this ie well known to the police and others aceustomed to handling large crowds canbe easily seen from the fact that they alwars use their best endeavors to keep a crowd in motion. It is absolutely necessary that it keep in mo- tion at the world’s fair especially, for if it not there would be great damage to the valu: ble exhipits. In some of the sections there are | wares exposed worth hundreds of thousands of doliars, They are not always under glass, and, indeed, could not be effectively displayed if | they were. nor are they railed off. bat one | group of visitors after auother comes in all day long and looks at these valuable and fragile The reason imply that the crowd ix well managed. It must not linger too long: there are everywhere signs saying. “Please do not and in some sections these signs read. touch. This means you,” which is an effective way of suggesting t> the visitor that he makes a mr’, take if he supposes himself to be an oxcep- tional individaal who ean safely handle articles that other peop'e can only look at. Another reason why the crowds in the build- ings are not unwieldy is that they are so well distributed, and this is a thing accomplish: their own curiosity largely. While looking at one thing others are look another, and their curiosity hurries them « rapidly. ‘They dwell upon nothing long b cause they hope soon to see something bet There are disadvantages in this the people who practice it go. a dist a dist of preventing congestion, which might other- wise prove dangerous, In getting into the fair grounds an important r. t. because y with an in ct idea of many things, insicad of having ct idea of a few. but it bas the advantage There are gat Ty street that leads to the park, nd here there are ticket offices and turnsit more. These entrances bear signs which nate them as pay gates, oF pass gates, or w | men’s gates, or ebiidren’s gates, | and no one is permitted to go through a gu | other than the oxe to which bis ticket or pass | applies. It must not be supposed that th workmen’s gate and the pass gate are lightiy | patronized, for it frequently happens that for | every two persons who go through the pay | gates one goes through the pass gate. Forty | per cent of the people in the grounds come in on passes. The majority of them are exbibitors, jor ‘they have some connection with exhibits, | but a good many are the fortunate possesiors | of complimentary tickets. They are still a | source of profit tothe fair, however, as they eat and buy, and thus put their money into the treasury of the management. ‘The truth is that the entrance gates are #0 | numerous that they are seldom crowded, and 168,000 people can pass through them, as they did on German day, without causing very long ng or very much crushing. ‘AS exch per- and he count for the registering of entrances and the number of tickets received. In getting the crowd out there is less trouble even than in gettingit in. Alongside of the eatrances are exits, which also have turnstiles, and as they only turn one way, and that is the way that lets you out, there is no chance for anybody who starts to go out to change bis mind and turn | back. Having got out you caunot come back uniess you purchase another ticket or havea check, and cheeks are given only to those who hold passes, Of course there are great crowds about the cars in the evening when the greater propor. tion of the people leave the fair, and there is crushing. Whena crowd becomes really un- wield a good many of the people accept the situation gracefully and go for some means of conveyance which is less crowded. The real | danger would be apt to occur in getting on and | off the trains. but the system used involve | closing of the gates of the car# as soon as they are full, and people who are uot on board cun- | not crowd in. | The greatest massing of the crowd in tho | | grounds takes piace at night when the center of attraction is at one particular spot. This ix the Court of Honor, where the grand illumination | takes place and where the flreworksaro sent off, nd the plaza, which offers the best view of all. | ‘This becomes '« solid mask of humanity. however. a perfectly good-natured it has, thns far, not been an uninana cone, but it can readily be conceived that there might | be some danger to one in the thick of it if there should bea fire or some accident rhould befall.

The fact of tho matter is,” contin- ued the champion, ‘we are tired of waiting for Mitchell to settle definitely where ho will fight I signed articles to fight him before the Coney Inland Athletic Club for a purse of $40,600 just as he was leaving this country for England. Ho left the entire matter in the bands of Lawyer Hummel of New York, who cabled to Mitchell, immediately after I had signed, informing him of the fact.

Mr. Imbrie admitted that if » private business were run in snch a cold- blooded manner the clerks would probably leave in a body. The chief of the bureau never attempted to establish friendly relations with his clerks. Mr. Imbrie was asked whether if aclerk went to Col.

The Duke of Tamames, Ler high chamberlain, was her mouthpiece. We are in iove with the Indies and gentle- | men of America and J intend to come here cai eatcan. The princess bas been | iy pleased with the people in the streets and bax «baker bands with everybody who wanted to do so, | ‘We ure not only grateful to the people of | Chicago and to the people of New York, but also | “I wish to say on bebalf of the princess that | she was taken by surprise when she read the comments upon her personal conduct iu the Chicago press,” said the duke. “Up to the mo- ment when se raw these articles the princess had not received the slightest intimation that she bad given any cause fer unfavorable criti- | cism in any part of the United States. “When she returns from her stroll she will speak to you with her own lips,but in the menn- time I shall make a statement ‘in her name and you can quote my words as if she were here in person.” ‘The duke spoke earnestly and reemed to be deeply touched. [told kim there was an im pression abroad that the infanta had attemy band was the owner of the hotel iu which the princess stayed and thatshe had not taken Pains to conceal her contempt for the people of Chicago. AMERICAN HOSPITALITY APPRECIATED. “This is simply absurd,” said the duke. “The princess greatly admires Mra, Palmer and is very grateful to the people of Chieago for their warm-hearted hospitality. We have all doi everything in our power since we landed in | this country to show how much we appreciated the kindness, not only of the government and of the ladies and gentlemen who person contributed to our comfort and happiness, but of the crowds in the streets. “‘Had the princess been in her own country she could not have been received with greater ifuluets to the Ameri- can people. We have been ager to tell how much we admire this great nation, the strength of character of itecitizensand the true courtesy displayed by everybody we have met are overflowing with thai FLATTERING REPORTS. “In my political reports to the Spanish gov- ernmevtand in my letters to the Queen of Spain I have said that it would be impossible to exaggerate the enthusiasm and affectionate demonsiration of the peopie, both in public and in private. Tmay explain that I accompany her highness as the political representative of my government, and, ax a grandee of Spain, act as the head of her official household. “wish to say in the strongest language I can command that the princess said nothing to Mrs. Palmer that was not of the kindest char- acter. If there was any misunderstanding about the early departure from Mrs. Palmer's house or the night of the formal reception the princess is entirely innocent of offense. A POLITICAL VIstT. “It must be remembered that when the prin- cess came to New York she had just ended a very exhausting visit to the Spanish possessions in the West Indies, This visit had a most im- | portant political sigriificance and involved an almost incredible amount of effort. “It was the first time since the discovery of the new -vorld that Spain had sent a represcu- tutive of her affection in ths person of mem: ber of the royal family. The political signifi- cauce of the princess’ journey to Cubs, for in- stance, can ensily be understood. We were completely exhansted. +The princess reviewed troop, received dele- gations and took part in so many public festiv- ities that we were ail alarmed lest she mignt bo- come ili, ‘Che ciimate was hot aud the season was far advances “The doctors warned us that unless we modi- | short visit to Maia and. though they were to be | ( AFFAIES IN HAWAII.

She was cazer to mect the people of Chicago and had looked forward to the reception with enthusiasic ex- pectations. SHE MAN RISKS, “Whon the princess learned that there was no uwning to shelter her and no carpet on the didowalk at Mrs. Palmer's house she hesitated about the journey. Dut her Lestation was quite natural. “The weather had been very bad,and the streets were covered with mud. The princess was to appear in full dress, ske naturally did not wish to arrive in Mrs, Palme: on such an important occasion with soiled skirts. No American lady would care to risk a beantifal costume under such ctreum: Ices. It may be possible that the reluctance of the | princess to go out that night was misunder- stood. But, notwithstanding the mud and the ception, the main room of Mrs, Palmer's house there wasn sort of throne, behind which wi hung tho arms of the pope. The princess ¢ cupied thix reat and Istood at her side. She shook hands with a great many persons and wus delighted to notice how cordial thoy were au’ how lavish her charming hostess had been in the arrangement of the affair. EULALIE BECAME ILL, “After shaking hands and bowing for a long time—it was more than an hour I am sure—the princess tarned to me and said in a low voice, ‘My head aches very much and I cannot stand the strain here.’ I whispered to her that if she would try to be patient and endure her sliness alittle longer the formal presentations wou! be ended and then there wonld be an oppo | tunity to return te the hotel, Her highness re- | mained until everybody had been presented to herand then she thanked Mrs, Palmer and withdrew. “Then it is not true that the princess ob- jected to the reception because Ler hostess was | or your money is returned.

HONORED MRS. PALMEM, “The vers best proof of the high estimation in which her highne # holds Mrs, Palmer is the fact that on the day before we left Chicago the princess invited Mrs. Palmer to dinner at the hotel and made her sit in the place of honor on the right hand. “When the official program was ended I said to the mavor of Chicago that we were ready do anything that would accord with the wishes of the people, anything that would indicate how fuliy we understood the exceptional character of the welcome extended to us in America. “The mayor told me the people of Chicago wanted to give usa chance to go about infor- maily and have a folly time, to ree the exposi- tion and study anything we chose to without the embartussment of committees or formali- ties of any kind. “From that time on we went every day to the exposition ina private yacht geacrourly put at the disposal of the party by Mr. Armour We were accompanied by Mrs. Teylor, the wife of our consul in Chicago; by Mrs, DeKoven and by one or two other personal friends, COMMANDER Davis OBJECTED. it has been said that the princess showefl discourtesy in failing to review the toops at Fort Sheridan, ‘The truth is that she was will- ing to go, but when Commander Davis—a most considerate and tactful gentleman—learned that the princess was worn out and unfit for a long journey he declared that the review was an unimportant affair, that there were only a few soldiers at the fort and that he would take | | | the personal responsibility of explaining the | mtuation to Gen, Miles. “Lealled his attention to the cireumstance that Linad accepted Gen.
