Special Correspondence of THE TRIBUNE.
CHICAGO, May 20.-The local direc-
tors of the Worlds Fair have decided
with practical unanimity that not only
is it advisable to open the grounds on
Sunday but to allow the hosts of visitors,
certain to be present on those days, to
inspect the exhibits, though the ma
chinery will not be running. In order
to absolve themselves from any obli-
cations to congress, the directors have
decided to return to the national treasury
the last appropriation of PIP million
dollars, with the giving of which was
the Sunday closing restriction. To
placate the religious element, it was
resolved to arrange for grand religious
services on the grounds each Sunday.
n committee was appointed to draw up
a rule for submission to the national
commission, but 1T is understood that
no matter how the commission may act
on the matter, the Fair will be opened
on Sundays, hereafter, unless injunct-
ions be secured from the courts prohib
iting such proceedings. 1t is, however,
not believed that any injunctions will
hold.
Night work has done much toward
the completion of the buildings. The
Electricity building is beginning to
wear look of responsibility. When the
lamps were all put out last Sunday
night large force of workmen were
put to work in the building, and
now the wiring is all done, and the
work of installing the monster exhi-
bition batteries is going forward very
rapidly. The dirt covered floors have
been cleaned and in every section ex-
hibitors are busily arranging their ex-
hibits, tacking up flags and bunting,
polishing refectors and furnishing
brass ratings. In short time now
the Fair buildings will all be in state
of perfection.
Tho Tyrolean booth in the Trans
portation building was dedicated at
eleven o'clock yesterday morning.
This quaint booth is very attractive,
being an exact reproduction Of a
Tyrolean home in the Alps. In the
center of the rooms is a miniature
mountain path, formed of great stones
and limbs Of trees. This runs back to
a fine painting of the Alps. The paint
ing is forty feet long by eighteen feet
high, on which is portrayed Ty-
rolean village on the mountain side.
The exercises began by reading poems,
and singing their native hymns. II. v.
Wieland who has charge of the booth,
around, and then luncheon was served.
The visitors were allowed the freedom
of the booth.
Boushreens, the natives of khartoum,
arrived in the Midway Plaisance Sun
day. Their home is next the temple in
Cairo street in the Plaisance. The
house is called Joukle, and is perfect
ly oval in shape, with walls Of bark,
and pitch covered roof. The Boush-
reens are the most savage people on the
street. In the party were six men and
three women. They are all very black
and are attired in quite shabby robes
with turb&ns and sandals. The women
wear their hair in long braids, while the
men adorn themselves with cork screw
curls.
Every man has from one to five deep
scars on his cheek, the marks of his
tribe. When the chief was asked what he
thought of the Exposition, he simply
rolled his eyes heavenward and gave a
satisfied grunt Each Boushreen wears
a long dagger up his sleeve and has a
cold manner. The British building,
Victoria, is completed. 1t stands down
on the Lake shore near the Naval Pier,
and is one of the most perfect of its
kind on the grounds. 1t is Elizabothan
in style and is a typical example of an
old ,imbered manor house of the Tucor
period. The entrance doors are heavy
oak, with brass hinges and wooden
locks. They open into wide hall
which has fireplace at each end and a
double staircase 1T the back. The
fireplaees are very wide and comfort
able looking. The andiron dogs are
mOnstrous and the CRATES have at each
end the lion and unicorn rampant. In
