Especial Chicago Correspondence
An impressive ceremony was wit
messed at jackson park on the first day
of the present month. 1t was the dedi-
cation by the japanese and worlds
fair officials of the Ho-o-den temple on
the wooded island which lies in the
lagoon in the center of the fair
grounds. The event was celebrated in
the true Oriental fashion, the exercises
being conducted by the Japanese con-
missioners in the full regimentals of
their native land
II was in truth curious sight that
was presented to the American guests
of the occasion, and one that will
doubtless be remembered by them long
years after the great fair has passed
away and many of its features have
passed from mind.
The Japanese worlmen were ranged
in line before the temple and during
the exercises sang their native song, n
very weird, and it must be confessed,
unmusical refrain, yet peculiarly suited
to the occasion.
The whole affair betokened the
spirit of international fraternity, for
which it may be said these people are
noted, and in their speeches the Jap
anese officials alluded to the friendly

Notwithstanding the general impress

the opening on the first day of May,
we are positively assured by the Off

The report has been circulated that
Alfonso Kill. the infant king of Spain,
is to take part in the opening exercises
of the fair, but this is automatically
contradicted, and it is Furthermore as
ccrtained that neither the young king
nor his mother will be present
Infanta Isabella will, according TO the
latest intelligence, come. to the OPEN

In regard to the exercises on the
opening day there is at present consid-
cradle dissatisfaction not only in Chi
cago but throughout the country, as
it has been announced that only a
select few would be allowed to witness
the ceremonies. What the outcome
will be it is impossible to state, as suf-
ficient time still remains for change
in the programme. 1t was thought up
to late moment that the exercises
would be held in the open air on the
green at the east front of the Govern.
ment building, but the committee on
ceremonies has, it seems, decided to
hold the opening exercises in Festival
hall, which faces the lagoon between
the Horticultural and Transportation
buildings. From an elevated platform
in this hall President Cleveland will
address the people and press the button
which will set the machinery in motion.

AGAINST TAXING BICYCLES.
The Savannah Wheelmen Enter Their
Protest With Others.

The taxation of bicycles by several
cities in the north and west has re-
suited in a protest by the wheel
men throughout the country. The
line of argument in the protest in
which the Savannah wheelmen have
Joined is this Bicycles are merely ma
chimes by means of which muscular power
can be used in locomotion to better ad-
vantage than in walking. Mechanicians
estimate that six miles can be ridden on
a bicycle with no greater expenditure of
power than is required in walking one
mile. The real value of the invention is
so great that it is not strange that at first
glance it should be thought to be a subject
for taxation, yet, to the great number of
riders the bicycle is necessity as well as a
luxury as a means of transportation.
If the bicycle, which increases the
amount of work that may be performed
by the body, is fit object to be specially
taxed, then every other machine, device
or tool which increases the amount of
work that may be performed by muscular
effort is a fit subject for taxation.
Bicycles as well as the bicycle riders
have done much TO promote the cause of
better roads; bicycles, because the wheels
improve the roads; and riders. because
they are road inspectors and work
ers for road improvement. Therefore,
instead of the useful machines being a
subject of taxation it would seem that it
would be more equitable to pay a bounty
to their owners because of the work they
are doing in the betterment of highways.
