Special days are to be a great feature at the world’s fair. Nearly if not quite every state in the union will have its day, upon which special exercises will be held, and its governor and staff, other state officers, militia and thousands of its distinguished and other citizens will he in attendance. Receptions will be held at the state buildings, respectively, and the governors and others will make speeches. Many musical, civic and secret societies also have made application for a special day upon which to hold exercises peculiar to themselves. Among them are the masons, odd fellows, knights of phthias and foresters. The Welsh eistedfodd will have an entire week for a musical celebration. It Is believed that thespecial features will draw many additional thousands of visitors to the fair. Arrangements for these special days are being made by Col.
