Law that has been made in bringing these
exhibits to this country that has attracted 4
general attention, for in the matter of build
ings many nations have exceeded all expec-
tations. France, Germany, England,
Sweden, India and many other countries
have erected structures that astonish fair
visitors by their size and furnishings

Brazil, which was formally opened for pub
lie inspection Thursday. This structure is
beyond doubt one of the finest ever erected
by an outside exhibitor at an exposition.

force the gates open ON Sunday by any
legal action. Many voted against opening
the gates, but the majority were in favor
of an open Sunday. The question was
discussed and all favored opening the
gates by persuasion. The president was
instructed to appoint a committee of ways

authorities. 1t is very generally accepted by
the concessionaires that the gates will be
closed on the coming Sunday at least.

that they will be at liberty on that day.
