|'July2S.-The onlysbusiness Of import
ance transacted by the national COM
mission to-day was the calling,of the

member deHired. Instead OF making
the usual reply OF "here" when the
names were called, -four" or "six," &C.
cordlng to the number Of admission
tickets they desired was the answer.
After this o number Recommendations
were read and ordered placed on file.
But the commission had mo heart for
work, and after q few matters OF minor
importance had been disposed of 1t ad:
journed that the members might attend
the Wild West show.

The daily rowsthat take place in the
board Of lady managers continue with
E!rather increasing intensity and are O
source OF considerable amusement to
ithe visitors that are, attracted to the
sessions Of the boardNby those unfailing
episodes.
The last break up is regarded some.
what moro seriously than by the pre-.
vious attractions OF "lady managers" !"
since O number OF female commissions
ers have found 1t necessary to appeal to
the national commission for relief from
the alleged injustice of the committee
on awards. In this appeal the national
commission was requested not to con-
firm any more female judges on awards
until each state and territory has bcen
represented.
The communication concludes with
the statement that all appeals to the
female committee Of the awards have
been intentionally ignored, and Is
signed by Phoebe Cousins, Of Missouri; (;
Mrs. Mclaughlin, Of North Dakota;
Nora Ladd, OF New Hampshire; Floride
Cunningham, Of North Carolina; Mary
E. Davis, Of Nevada; Mrs. Beeson, OF
Oklahoma; Isabella Bertha Hooker, OF
Connecticut, and Mrs. W. B. McCon.
nell, OF North Dakota. The natioal
commission referred the communica.
ton to its committee on awards, but
the protesting ladies will insist that
some official cognizance be taken OF the
complaint, and that every state and ter
ritory be given an equal representation
in the distribution Of patron Rge.
The attendance yesterday was 1O3,-
651. The cool weather shows some per-
ceptible increase in the Worlds Fair at
tendance, and it is expected that the
low rates which 90 into effect in west
ern territory August l, will greatly
augment the daily gate receipts.
The survivors Of the feverish gold
hunting period of AS are to hold q re-
union at the Worlds Fair August 8 at
the California building. By courtesy
Of the California commissioner the
Western Association Of California Pion-
GERS OF Chicago has been rendered the
freedom Of the California building on
that day, and it is intended to make 1t
a day Of note In the period OF the fair.
It will be known as "Pioneer Day" at
the California building.
Arrangements for the observance Of
British day, August 8, at the fair are
progressing satisfactorily.
