ing Visitors.

ing Visitors.
When Michael Brands orchestra from
Cincinnati began to pour forth melody
upon the scene of splendor there was
rush of people to the south side of Music
hall where the musicians were stationed
under cluster of arc lights. The music
rendered was classic, patriotic and popu-
lar including "America."
The south side of Machinery hall was an
attractive place for those people who knew
where the steam and electric power was
being generated to provide the illumina-
ton. The giant drive wheel of the 5000
horsepower Corliss engine was in motion
supplying the power to run the two West
inghouse generators of 10000 candle power
each.
When shortly before 10 o'clock the cur
rents were turned off, sigh went up from
thousands of hearts and darkness put an
end to a scene of splendor such as was
probably never before presented to human
eyes.
Twenty-one thousand people bought ad-
mission tickets at the Worlds Fair grounds
up to o'clock in the evening. The num-
Der of tickets sold at the downtown offices
is estimated at 5000 to 1900. A rough
guess at the number of paid admissions
between 6 and 10 p. m. places it at 5000,
making total of more than 80, 0O paid
admissions for the day.

The transportation department has done
more business in the past two weeks than
in the prior two months. Great piles Of
boxes containing exhibits are everywhere
on the grounds.
The visiting naval officers were dined at

President Higinbotham.
A brilliant reception was given in honor

THE MATTER THAT WON'T DOWN.

Chicago Aldermen Denounce Closing the
Gates on Sunday.
The city council has passed by unani-
nous vote a set of resolutions stating that
10000 or more people were denied admit
tance to the Worlds Columbian exposition
Sunday on the alleged reason that their
sightseeing within the grounds would be
violation of the American idea of the
Sabbath day; that such exclusion deprived
the people of legitimate and rational en-
joyment, and education, and the treasury
of the Worlds Columbian exposition of
$4,000. The resolutions express the dis
approval of the action of the directory in
excluding th" public from the grounds and
hopes that the Sunday closing rule will be
abrogated ari abandoned, and the public
be admitted 20 the grounds every of the
week.
While the grounds were closed the
streets Were rot and on these the "fakir"
piled his his trade and won many shekels
by his wiles, and the saloon was very
busy
This morning the petition of the Colum
bian guard asking for an increase in pay
from 500 TO SIS per month was presented
60 President Higinbotham, of the Column
bian exposition, with the request that in3-
mediate action be taken thereon. The
number of dissatisfied guardsmen signing
the petition is 1.103. The numerical
strength of the guard is 1,S92. The great
majority of the guard who refuse to sign
the petition comprise the young men who
come from the farms and the smaller in
terror towns. Unless the demand of the
signers of the petition is conceded their
leaders declare that they will at once re-
sign their positions.
At the session of the committee investi-
eating the alleged scandal in the music
bureau Harpist Shuacker was questioned
in detail about writing to Lyon & Healy
demanding a Zee of 81 600 year for playing
a Lyon s. Healy harp in Mr.. Thomas or
chestra. The harpist admitted writing the
letter. Ha did not see anything irregular
or unprofessional in his demand.
Miss Breitschuck told about the order
Mr.. Thomas sent out a week ago compell-
ing all his players to quit using Lyon &
Healy's harps. In some confusion she
acknowledged writing the letter to Lyon
Sl Healy, wherein she expressed her salts
faction with their instrument and regret

stitute another for it

administrator plaza poured in binding
showers, sent back n response which
blended harmoniously with the whole.
The different buildings were illuminated
to certain extent, but the Administration
building on the west and the Peristyle in
the east enclosing the grand court of
honor, held the multitude spell-bound and
easily carried off the honors of the night.
Made "A Mirror of the Lagoon.
Administration building was the first to
be electrified, and its beautiful exterior
from base to tip of dome was gilded with
rows of incandescent lights. At the base
of its dome thirty-two blazing torches on
bronze stands We're ranged equi distant
around its circumference, adding much to
its splendid appearance. The Peristyle soon
added its row of lights, and this was the
signal for the triple row of arc lamps along
either side of the lagoon to lend their aid,
and in an instant they were sending bright
rays across the waterway, completing the
band encircling the grand plaza The main
lagoon lay under the sheen of the thousands
of lights like great mirror. The arc and
Peristyle lights formed its gilded frame, and
around the sides about foot from the
waters edge a row of electric bulbs lent the
added beauty of golden bevel to the
splendid plate.
And the GondoIier ''GondOles."
It's surface was dotted here and there
with the electric launches and the bright
gondolas. Gaily bedecke1 gondoliers
stood on the stem and stern of their craft
and as their oars dipped silently in and out
of the water and their bodies swayed to
and fro the romantic looking boats and
their oarsmen formed novel silhouette in
the sparkling basin. Powerful search
lights on top of the Manufactures and Ag-
ricultural buildings and Music hall
brought out new beauties in the scene for
the benefit of the spectator. The golden
"Republic," holding aloft her torch and
cap, was given such searching" that her
right arm, which had been vaccinated on
the bicep last week by ascareless carpenter
dropping n section of scaffolding, did not
escape the notice of the crowds, who
laughed their approval.
Too NJ uch Light for Diana.
Gilded "'Diana," perched.on the dome of
the Agricultural building with arrow
pointed directly to the Music Hall, came
in for a shar of inspection. She tried to
turn on her vane to escape the glare of the
light, for the poor girl has clothes on,
but the wind was againct her and she was
forced to bear her ordeal to the finish. The
three searchlights We're then by precon-
