SITE.
The Dual Site Apparently Doomed-The
Board of Lady Managers Announced
By President Palmer.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-At the opening Of
the session this morning the worlds
fair commission listened to the report of
the committee on site. The report re-

for fair purposes.
The committee estimated that there
were transportation facilities for 13O, 900
people per hour, each way and that
limit was capable of increase.
Various propositions and amendments
were presented and discussed at length.

Resolved, That in the opinion OF this
commission, one single site for the expo
sition is desirable, and part of such site
should border on the lake; that the
directors may procure and present to
the commission the most desirable site
by adopting Washington park, the
Midway plaisance and Jackson park,
lying south of the north line of the Mid
way plaisance, extending through
to the line, together with
Washington park club grounds,
for the live stock and speed exhibit
that while we do not at this time re-
consider our action to accept Jackson
park and the lake front, we respectfully
but earnestly request the directors to
procure and present to the commission
the single sites above outlined, that the
special committee yesterday appointed
to whom was referred communication
