CHICAGO. July 3o.--This was probably the
last open Sunday OF tho Worlds Colum bian
Exposition. II wns as wide open to-day MS on
previous Sundays. All the buildings we're nc
cessible. and all tho concessonaires who cater
to public comfort we're doing business. Such
as 1t was. tho Fair was open only because OF
Judge Stems Injunction. and the White City
was deserted. Toward evening fair estimate
OF paid admissions made tho number l.. 600.
and this handful OF people was lost in the park.
Around the buildings an occasional visitor
could be seen. but aside from the guards
leisurely parading up and down the walks
there was little sign OF life. The majority OF
the visitors started at once for Midway Plat
sance and remained there but at that only the
beer gardens and music paviions had fair
patronage. 1t WIS in all very plain that people
refused to be forced to go to the Fair. The
Exposition managers did not want it open and
neither did the public. but It was n case Of
necessity. and 1t cost the Fair big sum OF
money.
All the gates at Fifty-ninth street. Yates
avenue. Sixty-scventh street. Terminal sta
tion. and those on either side OF the Illinois
Central road leading to the Midway were
closed. At each Of the gates was found one
ticket seller and taker and one rass. one work.
mems. one chidren's. and one pay entrance.
Neither the Illinois Central nor others OF the
transportation companies ran their trains into
the grounds to-day. The Illinois Central de-
livered its passengers at Fifty -ninth Sixty
second, and Sixty-third streets
