GOING TO THE FAIR.

The Worlds Fair opened on May IN
state OF incomplctcnc>S which the most friendly
disposition toward the great Undertaking could
not overlook nor altogether excuse. Though
cary visitors were generally charitable and did
not make too much Of their disappointment.

Indeed. il l., often worse for many Of its noises

nuisance of dogs barking all night. His ex-

rural life will at once occur to the reader which
might be avoided by little intelligent thought

4 .SUORTSIGUTED POIUY.

II is astonishing that AT this period IN the
worlds history there are people purblnd and
50 lacking in ordinary common sense a. pub
licy to announce their opposition 10 the con-
struction of bridge, acros, the East River on
the ground that such bridges if built. will b.
helpful t. Brooklyn, but harmful t. New-YorIi
On any reasonable basis whatever the adyan
tages resulting from such constructions must
be mutual. No hard-and- fast line Of dcmalca-
ton can be drawn between the interest, Of two
cities in such close proximity and having 50
much in common. New York and Brooklyn
are two separate municipalities at present.
though it is impossible 10 tell how long they
will remain 50, but in a multitude Of points Of
view their Interests are a unit. Of cOuIsc. the
question of future bridges must be considered
not as municipal question. NJ one now pro-
poses that the cities shall again engage in the
work Of bridge building; but in the event of
consolidation it will become serious question
whether the "Grcat"r Ncw-Y York will not be
called on to provide the necessary links 10 join
together the two parts, in the same way that
London has bridgcd the Thames and Paris the
Seine That, however, will be matter for
future Consideration.

the obstacles in is way are removed. II ough;

company has authority to construct about three
miles of crOS>tOwn elevated read, which will
serve to increase the usefulness Of the bridge,
to the public and to join them with the Man
! haitian elevated system. The bridges are To
connect directly with the Brooklyn elevated
railroads, and it is the plan to run trains across
the river and over the elevated structures in
both cities without requiring any change of
cars. the connection between New-York and
Brooklyn will, when this work il carried out

A final decision of the legal controversy over
Sunday opening of the Worlds Fair has been
rendered by the United States Court of APP
poals. which declares that the local directory
has full power and consequently it is to be
assumed that the Fair will be open regularly
seven DAYS in the week hereafter. There is
little doubt that the Sunday attcndaEsc will
he large and that the net pecuniary gain VIII
be considerable Unqucstionably, also, great
number of persons approve Of Sunday opening
for various reasons. But nevertheless the AS
sured consequence of this decision will n" he
entirely satisfactory to all Of these, for the fact
remains that the managers of the Exhibition
accepted public money upon condition which
they are not going to fulfil. The Court cannot
in this case prevent a breach of faith, but
neither can it justify one.
