The uncertainty regarding the Sunday
opening of the Fair kept yesterdays early
attendance down to low mark. Chief
Justice Fullers action in granting the
'supercedeas" was not made known far
enough away from Chicago in time to
bring in crowd of countrymen and as
RESULT the days sightseers were mostly
Chicagoans.
The moring was damp and cold; heavy
| fog blew in from the lake, hiding the tow
| ers and minarets of the great buildings
| and making heavy overcoats almost a
| necessity.
At o'clock the sun came out warm,
however, dispensing the mists and render
| ing the afternoon bright and pleasant.
| The crowds began to come about o'clock,
| and fl ON that hour until after dark every
mode of transportation was tested to its
| fullest capacity. The attendance for the
day was good, considerably exceeding that
| OF last Sunday.
| Considerable work was done in Manu-
facture's building behind the drawn cur
| tains of some of the exhibits. The doors
| to Japans pavilion in the north end of
| the building We're barred and two guards
| stool on watch outside. Everything in
| the English section was shut up, while
uer neighbor France, across the wide aisle
had thrown her big gates wide open as
usual. Everything in the German section
was in its every day appearance, but half
of Austria's display was concealed by long
| white curtains.
Behind ali the curtained departments,
| however, men were busy engaged in dress
my windows and arranging displays to
render them if possible more attractive.
A large force of men had possession OF

their display in readiness in two or thre,
days and then give Il reception to the In

concerts began at 3 o'clock. The pro
grammes of sacred and popular selections
were liberally applauded.
| Religious services were held down town
in the morning by Mr.. Moody at latter

1t is said that Princess Eulalia feel
much displeasure at the excessive formal
ity with which she has been surrounde,
since she came to Chicago She wants t.
be a democrat in a democratic country

Commander Davis is said to have de
livered himself of the following:
This thing of constant receptions mus
cease. There must be no more forna
receptions rendered the Princess. She ha
been bored ever since her arrival in Chi
