FAyoRs SUNDAY OPENING "a
CHICAGo, June 10. The worlds fair
is to be kept open on Sunday in the fu-
tllre. Such was the unanimous decision
of the United States circuit court Of
appeals, Chief Justice Fuller presiding,
given at IL am. Saturday.
The appeal from the order Of Circuit
Judges Woods and Jenkins closing the
fair on Sundays had been argued for
two days and the court of appeals re-
versed it and held that the local d.
rectory could do as it pleased in the
matter.
COURT HAS JURISDICTION.
Justice Fuller first took up the ques-
tion Of the court Of appeals, which had
been challenged by the counsel for the
government, who held that the appeal
ought to have gone direct to the supreme
court, on the ground that the consti-
nationality of q United States law was
in question.
decision in the circuit court turned on
other questions than the constitution
ahty of the law, neither had the juris-
diction Of that court been questioned,
the only contention of the counsel for
the exposition company on, that point
being that it was case which ought to
have been brought on the law and not
on the equity side.
IT WAS A CONTRACT.
AS to the 1850, 900 appropriation of
congress to the fair, to which the Sun
Justice Fuller held that that was moth
ing more nor less than a contract It
was not donation, as the council
for the government claimed, for con-
ditions attached to it on both sides.
Under it the local directory was bound
to raise more money in addition to the
many millions it already had raised,
complete, the buildings in a certain
time. and do other things, all of
which it had done. Consequently
il. the government thought that the To-
cal directory had broken part of this
contract by opening the fair on Sun
days it's remedy lay in bringing an ac-
ton at law for damages, but it could
not go into court of equity with what
amounted to a bill for specific perform
ance. .
WILL RENEW THE FIGHT.
Secretary Mclean, of the Sabbatari-
an association, said that they had not
given up the fight yet. They would
now press the injunction suit Of Wanna
maker & Brown, who sue: as stockhold-
ers, and he thought that that case
would stand in equity.
The attorneys for the government
could not say what course. they would
now pursue until they heard from the
attorney. general. ~:
SUNDAY AT THE PARK.
The paid admissions to'Jackson park
on Sunday numbered 57,676. The of
ficials are somewhat disappointed in
the Sunday attendance, and it is ru-
mored. that an effort will be made to
reduce the admission fee on that day to
twenty-five cents. The crowd was an
orderly one Many thousands spent
the day and evening inside the walls of
the German village, Old Vienna and the
street in Cairo.
On the main grounds thousands could
be seen strolling about in every direc-
ton. The rotunda of the Administra-
ton building and the plazas seemed to
be central meeting points for every
body. Columbian avenue, in the Manu-
features building, and all the sections
that were open to visitors were
filled all the time The same was
true in many Of the other buildings. 1t
was noticed that a great many more of
the exhibits, especially in Manufactures
building, were closed and covered than
has been the case heretofore when the
fair was open Sunday. The en-
frances to the Italian. Swiss, Norway,
United States and Japanese sec
tions were barricaded and most of the
exhibits in them were hidden from
view All the booths in the British
section were also closed and the glass
sides of many of them were covered
with white tarpanlins Germany, how
ever, was wide open. One could go
through the French, Austrian, Bel
gium and Russian sections and
see great deal, but portion
of their exhibitors had drawn the
curtains Saturday night and left them
to remain so until this morning. A few
exhibits were covered in all the build
ings, but not SO. many as in the main
edifce.
In the Electricity building the hum
ming Of dyDamos and motors was nota-
BILE for it's absence, and nearly every
exhibit was closed. Machinery hall
presented a vast display Of motionless
machinery. In the Agricultural build
ing the exhibits were open, but few at
PENDANTS were present.
In the Transportation building COW
cred exhibits were conspicuously numer-
GUS The Mines and Mining building
was practically deserted. The reason
was apparent, for sheeted and closed
exhibits were on every hand.
VIII BE Open Every Night.
CHICAGO, June 20.-It has been de-
cided by the council Of administration
