Visitors will be admitted to Jackson
park for an indefinite period after Oct.
80. The length Of time will depend
upon the weather and the popular de-
mand. This course was officially de-
termined upon by the coucil Of admin
istration. Oct. 80 is to be observed as
Columbus day and not closing day, as
the council formerly proclaimed. 1t
made the correction in the following
statement, which was accompanied by
an order in accordance Herewith:
"The council having this day consid-
cred its order passed the 10th inst,
predicated on the resolution emanat-
ing from the board of directors OF the
Worlds Columbian exposition touch
ing the designation OF a day as "Co-
lumbus day" and having been informed
by several members OF the directory
that it was not the intention of that
body that its resolution should be so
construed as to provide for closing
day, but simply to make provision for
designation of Oct. 80, 1898, as 600
lumbus day." and to be SO celebrated
accordingly within the exposition
grounds at Jackson park, and that such
day should not be treated or regarded
as the actual closing of the exposition
or the park, but that visitors might be
admitted thereafter for an indefinite
Period so long as the popular demand
and the weather conditions should
justify it."
The admission fee for the November
days will, the officials say, be fifty cents
as it is now. All purely compliment
tary passes will be cut of. The com.
plimentaries expire by limitation Oct.
80 and they will not be renewed. The
obligation under which they wert
issued Is considered to have been salts
fed. The full term aud MONTH,
Photographic passes will simply b
extended. No now ones will be printed
The coupons will have boon exhausted
but the cover with the photo will b.
sufficient. Workmens' passes will b.
issued as usual. The photograph
passes are held by exhibitors, CONFESS
ionaires, employees, and officials who's
presence is necessary on the grounds
While all exhibitors may begin pack
