Scales the High Wall at the Exposition .'Last Evening. At football and baseball games the small boy still has the record ' for clever scheme for stealing his way into the grounds, but at the fair last night' a young lady. "of 1$ summers took the cake. Police Officer Getchel was standing near the entrance of the pavilion when some heavy object came down upon the sidewalk with a thud. Rushing to the spot he found a pretty miss who sprung up quickly and escaped Into the crowd. ' Upon further examination It was found that the pretty visitor had not fallen from the sky but that she was an earthly creature, pure and simple, and had climbed the high board fence and dropped over Inside the grounds to save her 15 cents , to" spend for candy.

She was informed that she had best go home and henceforth to "enter In at the straight gate." NEV YORK, Oct. 8.
