WoKD's FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
August5.-Tne oppressive weather OF
the past week has made things dnil
generally az the Fair, but does not
seem 90 have suppressed the eXuoer-
ance Of the West Virginians. Ii may
be because they are used 20 hot weather
and do not mi0d few degrees more or
less but. az any rate, they not only con-
tfpue 10 come no great numbers out 20
epi0v themselves after they get here.
Since the arrival OF Col. Sam Harrison
spd Darty from Wheeling no one has
suffered from ennui az the West Viz
r1nia house and nearly every other
stare building on the grounds has been
enlivened by a free musicale which the
marty furnished. Last night they "did
Midway" aud there are strange rumOrs
adost of the gay time they had there.
Col. W. y. Chancellor, Executive Com
missioner Of the West Virginia Board
or Worlds Fair Managers, has returned
20 Parksrsburg for week or ten days
and his position Is being filed by Com
missioner j. ). Nay,or OF wheeling.
Gen. St. Clair OF West Virginia, and
Col. MASSEY Of Delaware, have been so
closely engaged in court regarding the
Sunday opening question that they
were unable 20 give attention 60 the ar
rapgements for the state exercises.
ConseQ uently nothing will be done pow
until Col. Chaucel0r's return. The
West Virginia state Commission will
meet on the goth.
Dss1Ite tbe protest which the State
Commissioners made against the erec-
zion of the cafe east OF the West Vir-
. Qfoia building, the Wellington Catering

mer and Is putting the restaurant
10 compIetlon. WheR the appea
was made 10 the Board of Worlds Fair
Directors. the answer was made that
the Board was obliged 90 receive every
revenueThaJ offered and could not az
ford 20 lose this opportunity OF niIing
s. the empty Golfers. he Board, how
ever, made one concession in favor OF
the Penrsylvauians The Wellington
Comuany was asked 90 cut OF the i'm
mpDse structure ninety feet on the
PenDsvlvania side, bur otherwise the
.afa is being constructed as it was orig
AaUv planned. The change does not
BeID the West Nirgiaians IN the least
fspd great IS the feeling Of dissatisiac-
ZION In regard 90 it. It was az first
boped that the cafe would be an orna-
mepts. affair that would certainly not
detract from the beauty Of The grounds
ifitdid not add 20 them. But now 10
appears that the company is determined
TO get the most dollars possible out Of
the least outlay pos ,iole, and the
rude structure Closely Iesem-
bles dancing platform at a
Farmers picnic. A canvas awning has
been stretched overhead for 8 roof, and
wire netting stTung around the edges
10 preyent the tables from sliding OIL.
The tables themselves will come 50
close 90 the West Virginia piazzas that
a goodIy visitation OF flies and mos
oui.Oes is looked forward 70. The dan
ger from FIRE is greatly increased, and
N is now feared that the insurance
companies will demand new set Of
policies.
