Unknown, Chicago Tribune — Storm Damage Along the Midway (1893)
“ The Ferris Wheel kept people in who did not want to go out in the storm and closed the ticket offices, taking those in around twelve times. Two engineers who happened to be in the wheel said they would not take a large sum of money for the experience. At the wheel the weather gauge registered a velocity of sixty-six miles an hour for the wind. The Lapland Village had a great deal of canvas blown away. Forty big stag heads adorned the tent, each with full branching horns, and these fell among the girl performers as the tent went down, but no one was badly bruised. ”
