WORK NIGHT AND DAY.
The report was unanimously adopted
E. A. Merrill then reported 500 subscrip-
ton from Willis Durham. He said that a
prominent gentleman in the city, had re-
marked to him that he was afraid the eX-
hibitors would not have their displays
shape in readiness for the opening day,
and Mr.. Merrill wanted the board to give
the exhibitors to understand that they mnst
work night and day until the displays were
in place. Mr.. Merrill said the Same gentle
man had remarked, that suitable proyis-
ions had not been made for the press, and
he wanted the matter looked into. On the
suggestion Of Col. King that the press
should have place in the procession, S.
G. Gale moved that the special committee
set aside place, which was done. The
matter of getting exhibits in shape in time
coming up again, s. G. Gale made motion
that the building be lighted up all night,
aud that exhibitors be instructed to work
night and day until their displays are in
place.
SHALL DIRECTORS PAY?
G. M. Palmer offered resolution to the
effect that the directors be compelled to
pay an admission fee the same as any one
else. Capt. Gilmore strongly objected to
this on the ground that director might
have to run in and out twenty times day
Oh business, and for one he did not feel like
paying every time. A. j. Blethen Jumped
up and said that he felt the same as Capt.
Gilmore in the matter, and thought it was
an outrage that exhibitors should be charged
admission. He thought it would be fine
thing to issue complimentary tickets on the
opening day to all persons who had aided
the Exposition dollars worth. 1t would
be good thing, in his opinion. and would
have the effect of bringing to the building
many person who would not otherwise
come.
Mr.. Washburn vigorously opposed mo-
ton to the effect that free tickets be issued.
and spoke of the evils incident to doing so.
He did not think it was business, and said
he was willing to pay. W. S. King took
up the point with the chairman and they
argued it at some length, when Mr.. Blethen
withdrew his motion.
V. e. Hush, after moving around in his
chair in an impatient manner, said: This
Exposition should never issue single pass.
1t you do, l tell you you are lost! lost!
lostw Mr.. King retorted that the EXposi.
ton could not run in any kind of shape
without
ISSUING PASSES.
The season tickets, he said. were one OF
the greatest evils that the Exposition WoulC
have to contend with and there was moth
ing to fear from the passes. ''It is not the
man to whom a pass is issued who goes
around telling other people to use it. but il
is the man with his hundreds of thousands
who goes up and down the street selling his
season ticket for what he can get" This
remark created sensation, and as soon a.
the surprise had died away G. Nj. Palmer
presented resolution to the effect that nc
passes of any kind be issued except in ex-
change of cOurteSieS and to regular news
paper men. This was unanimously carried
and MI. Bletchen renewed his motion thai
passes be issued on the first day to all paid
up subscribers. This was carried. The
question of whether the directors should
pay an admission fee or not every time the y
went in was brought up and discu ssed with
some warmth. Mr.. Regan said he would
never go into the building if he had to pa
every time, and considered it an outrage
that the directors should be asked to pay.
MI. Hush wanted them to pay every time
they passed inside the door, even if it was
on business. 1t was finally de-
cided to issue exhibitors tickets to all di-
rectors at So each and to sell season tickets
at ST. so each on condition that each person
purchasing one would have his photograph
pasted on inside of three days after securing
it. 1t was decided that the picture offered
by the Notre Dame university of Indiana
was not wanted.
FIRST MEXICAN CONCERT.
On motion II woo baoidod to b,,o
Mexican band give grand concert Monday
evening, Aug. %, after letting the exhibit
ors know that no work must be done on
that evening. The big entertainments will
be during fair week. Mr.. King thought
that some difficulty might arise if exhibit
ors aud employees would have to enter BY
the same door as visitors, and on motion ii
was decided to have the treasurer designate
certain door for them to enter at. The
reading and allowing of bills to the amount
of S9.24S.21 followed, after which the
board went into executive session.
