Worlds Fair Opening Sunday.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
Aug. 21.-The effort at dissolution OF
the Klingman injunction forbiddiug
the closing of the gates on Sunday
have dragged along in the courts for
another week, the fair was open yes
terday. The attendance was very
small and the grounds after having
been thronged with splendid crowds
during the week appeared strangely
deserted The buildings were open
but the few people who wandered
through their vast areas did not find
much to delight the eye, as nearly all
the exhibits were covered.
There were services in Festival hall,
but no music was given in any of the
pavilions and no attraction of any char
acter that would tend to draw peo-
ple was offered The West Point ca.
dets gave dress parade at 6 o'clock in
the evening, and the place in front OF
the government building where the
drill took place divided the days
crowds with the attractions of the
midway.
The week just closed was record
breaker in the number of visitors
700. 796-an increase over last week OF
ITO, 70s. The average for the week,
omitting Sunday when but 49, paid
admissions were recorded, is 12s,695.
Saturdays attendance was 169,95l be-
ing the best day of the fair with the
exception of July =, when 2s3, 7OS paid
admissions were registered The rec
ord is very gratifying to the exposi-
ton management, and with little
help from the railroads in the matter
Of excursions they expect to sec great
Increase from this time on.
