pass holders paid the entrance fee OF 80 cents

the Cold Storage fire was considerable in q
substantial way.
The morning was unco;nfortably warm
and the sultry air in the vast Park made
walking and sightseeing a Iaborious task.

phere few degrees and during the after
noon the turnstiles at the pay gates recorded
the advent OF many visitors who formed the
principal crowds OF the day.

The eye just inside the gates.
The crowd which the evening was expected
to bring out did not matcrialize and the idle
gatekeepers did not have one kind word to
say in favor o. Chicago and her guests for
their lack OF appreciation OF the gallant work
of the 6remen who were burned to death a
week ago.
MANY EXHIBITS CLOSED.
The outward appearance OF the Fair did
not suffer in any respect from that OF last
Sunday save for the emblems OF mourning
on the engine house and the flags at half
mast. Nearly all OF the displ VS. made by
/ foreign exhibitors in Manufactures Building
were draped, while many American exhi its
were closed.
The building was visited by many people
during the day, however, but most of them
spent their time sitting upon chairs in the
long avenues running through the building
and viewing the white canvasse5 which shut
out the coveted sights within.
Other buildings had their usual Sunday
crowds, the greatest number OF visitors
thronging the Art Palace, the Krupp Gun ex'
hibit and the Convent. The Plaisance, which
always holds the Sunday crowds, was Lusl
place all day and impressed upon the con.
cessionaires more firmly han ever the idea
that their paIt of the lair should be KEEP;
open.
Music was furnished during the afternoon
and evening by the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Iowa State bands the feature of Heroes
Day" being much enjoyed and appreciated
by moderately crowds.
THE SUNDAY CLOSING QUESTION.
In re -ard to Sunday closing, it is said
temporary injunction, obtained several weeks
ago ny Charles w. Clingman, one of the
stockholders in the Exposition company and
taxpayer of Chicago, compelling the gates
to be kept open, still stands in the way.
Judge Stein, of the Superior Court of Cook
County. who granted the degree, said:
"The injunction is still in force; there IS
no doubt about that. II the Courts attention
is officially called TO any violation OF the Or
der. it will, after due consideration, take
such action as may appear proper.
William E. Mason, solicitor Tor the peti-
toner. said 1.-The gates will not he closed
next Sunday unless my client desires to back
down"
Edward Walker, who has been the chief
legal spirit in conducting all the litigation
on the side of the Exposition company, said;
"The gates will be closed. Unless Mr.. Cling
man consents 10 an amicable adjustment OF
the matter relative to the injunction, we will
simply go into court and have 1t set aside
This, am satisfied, on full representation
of the case. which has never been made, can
easily be done"
Mr.. CIingman could not BE found TO ascer-
tain what course he proposes to pursue. Mr..
Mason, declared, however, that it would be
an easy matter for the Exposition company
to override an order of the Court, 50 long as
anybody sees fit to insist upon that order be-
ing enforced That is why he so freely de-
clared that the Exposition. in his opinion,
would not be closed next Sunday.
