WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, July
29.-Tbe worlds fair will be open to-mor-
row, but that is about all that oan be said
of it. Gates and buildings will admit vis-
itors on Sundays before the last one. but
no extraordinary attractions will be of.
fered. A good portion of the exhibitors are
put out by the order of the council of sd.
minIstration. Since the order went out
last Saturday that the fair would be
closed on Sunday very few exhibitors have
made any provision for keeping open. and
with some of .hem considerable prepara-
tiOn is necessary. The result will proba-
bly, be that more exhibits Will be closed to-
morrow than on any previous Sunday. The
council of administration received this
afternoon the following telegram from
PittsDurg:

The Associated American Exhibitors havo
risen in revolt against the inaccuracies Of
the officIal catalogue. issued under the au-
spices of the exposition. For three mon this
past the complaints against the err

confined chiefly TO visitors W ho purchase
the document, but only found it serious
trouble In leading them into hopeless con-
fusion W hen endeavOrlng To do the falr un-
der it's direction. but the exhi bitors them
selves have now concluded that 1t is inju-
rious to their interests and have issued q
sharp letter to the publishers. COnkey ~

For the 6rst time since his fight with
gate-keeper Thornby, Commissioners. st.

commission to-day. He came IN quietly and
toak q seat in the back of the honse and
took part in the proceedings. At1o'olock

| Director general Davis replied on behalf
| OF the exposition management. He said #
| the exhibitors had such grievances as
| those of which Mr.. Papgborn spok- they
| should have formulated them and sent
| them either TO him or to the conDoii of all

| WAS snxIone to please the exhibitors and

| bad treatment the fair receiving at
the hands of the railways and ssid those

| cultural show.
The efforts to reduce the free list to the
| fair are proving so successful that Super
| intepdent Tucker. of the department of ad-
mission. predicts that under the revision
| now taking place at least ten thousand
season passes will be cut off. People who
| are conscious of their questionable right to
| free admission have been making the 0st
| of their passes since the orders for revision
| and reduction were issued the attendance
| from this eource having jumped from 80, 600
! to 10000 a day. AS the order cutting off the
| old passes goes into effect Aug. l. 1t is ex-
pected that after that date the daily free
submissions will decrease to but little over
twenty thousand.
Next week promises to be lively one at
the fair. every day being taken for tho spe-
DIAL exercises OF some country, State or or.
