said II the exhibitors had such grievan-
ces as those Of which Mr.. Pangborn
spoke they should have formulated
them and sent them either TO him or
the Council Of Administration. The ex-
position company was anxious to please
the exhibitors and would do all it could.
he referred to the bad treatment the
/ Fair was receiving at the hands OF the
/ railways, and said those corporations
had not shown the Fair as much con-
sideration as was accorded to the aver
/ age county fair or agricultural show.
/ The commission then resumed the regu-
lar order Of business, but nothing OF I'M
portance was done.
The efforts to reduce the free list to
the Fair are proving so successful that
Superintendent Tucker Of the Depart
ment OF Admissions predicts that under
the revision now taking place over TO-
600 season passes will be cut of. Peo-
pie who are conscious OF their question
able right TO free admission have been
making most OF their passes since the
orders for revision and reduction were
issued, the attendance from this source
having jumyed from 10000 to 40, 900 3
day. An order cutting of the old passes
goes into effect August 1st, 1t is eI-
pected that after that date the daily
free admissions will decrease TO but
little over 10000.
A new feature was introduced this
afternoon at the weekly prize contest
/ in Lady Aberdeen village. Irish mem
be OF polico and fire departments com
/ peted In running, walking sack and
wheelbarrow races. There was also
the usual jig dancing for prizes and a
grand afternoon was passed.
The sports OF old Ireland have proved
/ such an attraction that il has teen ne
cessary 70 enlarge the village bounds.
The grass plat next to the street has
I been inclosed In castellated wall and
| the entrance is now made direct from
\ the street through q massive castle
gate. This additional space affords
needed room for competitors and spec
/ tators. Another space at the west end
| OF the village has been put underroot
and fOored. Spectators will be shelter
ed 10 bad weather and there will be
/ dancing hall covered.
The Council Of Administration re-
/ ceived thlsafternoon the following tele-
gram:
"PITTsBURG, PA, July 20.
"Colncl of Administration:
"Any possible penalty for contempt
OF court In closing tomorrow in ac-
cordauce with law will be triie TO the
cost OF incurring the everlasting con-
tempt OF the country for inefliciency or
| Tickery in recent dealings with Stein
/ Injunction il IL results in even one re-
opening. In behalf Of the National
| Sabbath Closing Committee.
"WILBUR +. CRAFTS, Chairman.
"S. II. GEORGE, Secretary"
'sThe people who sent that message
certainly cannot understand the situa-
tion we are in" said President Higgn-
/ botham. They think we are tricking
with the Stein Injunction, and are inn
modest enough TO say so. They seem
also TO think that it would be better for
all Of Us to 20 TO jail for disobdience OF
/ that Injunction than to incur
their dspleasure by keeping the
/ Fair open. In other words, these
/ Christian people don't want US to
obey the law. They want US to still
/ further disobey the mandates OF the
courts. IL would seem to be everyone's
duty TO support US in obedience OF the
/ law rather than TO counsel any more in
/ fractions. 1t is probable that Judge
Stein will punish US for what we have
done already. l shall be disappointed II
he does not Certainly, II were in his
! place and he In mine, would visit some
punishment on him. don't think that
my position, my wealth or my connec-
/ tion with the Fair ought to shield me in
/ the least And, as l said, l shall be dis
appointed II Judge Stein does not pun
/ ish US all. )"
| The Worlds Fair will be open to-
morrow, but that is about all lhat can
be said Of it. Gates and buildings will
admit visitors as on Sundays before the
/ last, but no extraordinary attractions
will be offered A good proportion Of
the exhibitors are put out by the order
/ OF the Council OF Administration. Since
the order went out last Saturday that
the fair would be closed on Sunday
very few exhibitors have made any pro-
vision for keeping open, and with some
OF them considerable preparation is ne
cessary. The result will probably be
that more exhibits will be closed to-mor-
row thar on any previous Sunday.
