big Columbian liberty and peace bell. at
the worlds fair. rung out In honor of the
anniversary of tho adoption by Congress

lowed by officials of the exposition. nation

where the Liberty bell swung. President

ny with the occasion. and. exactly at IL
o'clock. rang the bell. Fitting speeches
were also made by Direotor-general Davis
and others.
The question of extending the fair until
Jan. 1 came up for discussion at the meet
ing of the directors of the worlds fair this
evening. They also considered the ques-
ton of reducing the Sunday admission 70
% cents. There is much opposition to ok
tending the fair beyond the time fixed by
Congress. Many people outside OF the ex-
position officials. and a number of the
latter have declared it unwlse to
the fair is increasing. Larger crowds are
OK pected on the Sabbath from DOW on.
There is some talk by the fair managers OF

ing silent as the tomb. Many OF the eX-
hibits lave been closed. and outside of the
Art Institute. a general inhositable air has
prevailed.
The directors voted down a motion to
lower the entrance fee for children to 10
cents, and tabled by a heavy majority a
proposition TO let people IN on Sunday at
half rates. The matter of extending the
fair Will be taken up at p later meeting.
