The Sunday Opening Case at Chicago Held
Under Amusement.
CHICAGO, June 3.-The worlds fair will be
open at least one more Sabbath. despite the
proceedings that have occupied the attention
Of the United States court during the present
week.
Judge Woods announced this morning thai
there were several law points involved in the
arguments that required careful attention and
are under consideration, and that in
consequence the court had decided
to take no immediate action. AL
parties to the case we're instructed to appear in
court a. 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, when
a decision would be rendered.
The court added that pending the rendering
Of a final decision 1t would take no action on
any of the side motions submitted to it.
This puts u quietus on the motion of Attor-
Eey Cleland, who was representing the Illinois
Sabbath Association, for n temporary injunc-
tIou restraining the directors from opening to-
morrow and which it had been intended to
press on new grounds had decision been rem
dered today against the government
As soon as the courts announcement had
been made it al once adjourned for tine day,
and the audience filed out.
The Sunday-closing advocates, who were

disappointed over the result. while the other
side were correSpondingly jubilant.
Arrangements have been made by the fair
authorities for handling an immense crowd to-
morrow, and if the weather is favorable it is
thought that the attendance will be double
that of last Sunday.
RAINING AT THE GROUNDS.
Nothing but rain and mud and puddles and
rivulets OF water at the fair today. few
thousand people came ont, OF course, but the
white city loses its fairyland appearance when
the rain beats upon the roofs and turns those
pearley, graded avenues and squares into a
mOrass.
The children who are to sing at the festival
hall concerts during the next five months are
unfortunate in having rainy day for their
first concert this afternoon. Twelve hundred of
song and classic melody while following with
their 200 ewes the music score and the move
ment OF William L. Tomiin's baton.
The children look forward to these outings at
the fair with keen pleasure. but 1t is not likely
there will be a full attendance today.

The first even. of Importance in tho enter
tainment of the Princess Eulalie will be an in
vitation concert in festival hall next
Thursday afternoon. Edward Lloyd of
England will sing for the FIRST time

A recent order of Director OF Works Burn
ham, which went into effect ct II o'clock, { hat
tcamsters must have special pass or pay so
cents an hour for pilot to guide them about
the grounds until their goods were delivered,
caused the trouble
About fifty teams waited an hour until an
order was received TO allow them to proceed
and the order will go into effect tonight.
AT TIE TERMINAL STATIONS.
The big airy terminal station is being used a
little now by the railroads, but it has cold and
completely deserted appearance at all times.
The roads which have brought in train loads of
visitors from towns close to Chicago are the
Baltimore and Ohio. the Chicago and North
western. the Pennsylvania and Wisconsin Gen.
trail. The Baltimore and Ohio was the first
road to run passenger train into the depot,
but excursions from distant points seem to DO
as far away as the north pole from the
perestyle.
