The Chief Justice Renders One More Sun
day Fair Opinion.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July N.-Chef Justice
Fuller to-day decided the case of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition against
the United States of America, in the
circuit court of appeals, by re-
versing the decree of the
lower court and remanding the
cause for further proceedings. In the
United States circuit court Judges
Woods and Jenkins had granted pre-
liminary injunction closing the fair on
Sundays. Judge Grosscup, in dissent
ing, delivered an opinion favoring the
opening of the fair. The order Of the
day leaves both sides free from any
legal ties. Application can now be
made by the government to the circuit
court for permanent Injunction, and
final hearing had. From the decision
then rendered appeal could be taken.
The proceedings would occupy consid-
cradle time and more than probably the
fair would be closed long before tie
end was reached.
To-day marks the opening of the
fourth biennial singing festival of the
United Scandinavian Singers of Ameri-
ca, it being some time ago decided that
this festival should be held at the
Worlds Fair. These singing So
cieties bring to the two concerts
to-day and Friday afternoon in Festival
Hall, 1000 voices and a group Of distin-
guished soloists. The idea of the United
mated with G. M. Machold, of Philadel-
phia, a Dane by birth and a
business man of great ability and
energy. He decided to attempt the
experiment of uniting the singing
societies of the three Scandinavian ma
tions-the Danish, Swedish and Norwe-
gian-into musical union, and there
upon arranged for singing festivals at
stated intervals, the purpose being to
draw the Scandinavians of the United
States into closer relations and bar
mony and partially to bring
the Scandinavian composers and
their works before the American
public, finally by this means to demon
lectual standing Of the Scandinavians
and especially their musical and vocal
gifts. The territory represented by
these singers embraces the country
all the way from Boston to San Fran
cisco. At the concert this afternoon
the chorus was under the direction Of
of Prof. J. W. Goldberg. The soloists
were as follows: Miss Sigrif Wolf,
mezzo-soprano, Of the Royal Opera,
Stockholm; Miss Anna Wallin, pianist,
Of the Stockholm Conservatory of Music;
William Herold, tenor, Of the Royal
Opera, Copenhagen; Miss Signe Hiile,
soprano, Of Bergen; Mile. Ohstrom
Renard, soprano.
There IS an air OF cneer1uIness IN the
administration building of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition this morning,
and it is all caused by the action of the
Western Passenger Association in
yesterday deciding to make a one
fare rate to the Worlds Fair for West
ern visitors. 1t was hoped that a
straight one-fare rate for the round trip
would be granted, but the figure of
zone way fare plus S;2'' it is felt will
virtually increase the attendance after
August J..
The Caledonian societies which are
now in session in Chicago visited the
exposition in body to-day. In the
forenoon programme of Scotch games
was given in the live stock pavilion
and in the afternoon the societies as
sembled at a concert in music hall.
