Chief Judge Fuller's decision in favor Of
Sunday opening has just been filed in the
full text. II covers thirty-two pages and
deals exhaustively with the subject, The
main points of the decision were laid down
In the paper read by the chief judge when
the case was decided.
1t is announced that the roof promenade
of the Manufactures building, which has
been closed for prudential reasons since
the Cold Storage warehouse fire, will soon
be reopened Two iron stairways as fire
escapes are to be constructed first. There
is no other vantage point from which
view of the fair grounds can be seen, and
the closing of it has been great depriva-
tion.
Hereafter all but three of the great
buildings will be closed at night. Those
remaining open will be the Manufac
turers Electricity and Agricultural build
ings This measure is adopted for the sake
of economy, but as a matter of fact few of
the buildings are visited at night, the peo-
pie prcferring to remain out of doors and
see the illuminations.
British day at the fair, Aug 0, Is to be
the occasion of great street demonstra-
tion down town in the afternoon. The
committee will endeavor to have every
country and dependency of Queen Victo-
ria's empire now represented at Chicagoin
the procession, and the fair will be drawn
from to furnish its quota, including the in
habitants of the streets in Cairo, the Bed.
ouins, the Sudanese, and the men from
India The battalion from the Military
Tournament will lead the line, and its
commander will be grand marshal. The
Maharajah of Kapurthala will be invited
to ride in the line as the marshal of the
Indian division.
Ex-State Senator Donald McNaughton,
OF Rochester, N. Y, executive officer for
New York state at the fair, Is lying in his
room at the State building seriously Ill.
While no symptoms Of typhoid fever have
developed, the doctors fears lie in that di-
rection. Mr.. McNaughton has been con-
fined to his red since last Sunday, and ha
has been getting weaker every day on c.
count of bowel trouble. His age, which is
Go. Is discouraging factor In the case. al.
though his stalwart physique and robust
constitution will help him to pull through.
