Machinery Not to Be Run.
Chicago, May 5.-Jackson park will be
open next Sunday and the payment of 80
cents will entitle any member of the great
public to enter, just as it has for the past
six months. There will be no formal ac-
tiOn taken and there will be no official
announcement made, but the gates will
be open. Supt. Tucker of the
bureau of admissions understands that
his force is expected to work Sunday and
has made all his arrangements accord
lngly. 1t has been the rule in the past to
have the gates open on Sunday, and as
there has been no order to make change.
Mr. Tucker will continue as usual. One
| gentleman Intimately connected with the
government of the fair said: Yes, the
grounds will be open next Sunday. | have
| just had Il talk with Supt. Tucker and |
know that he expects to have his ticket
sellers and gatekeepers on duty that day.
| he has had no instructions to close the
| gates on Sunday and his last orders, given
| several weeks ago, were to admit the pub
| lie on Sunday the same as on any other
| day He holds, and of course he will be
/ upheld in his opinion, that he has no au-
| thority to close the gates until he is
| officially instructed to do so. The entire
| force of guards will be on duty and the
! public will not be allowed to enter any of
! the buildings except Horticultural hall
and the green houses. We will then wait
for developments. The park will be open
! every Sunday during the period of the
| existence of the fair, and in few weeks
! the exhibit buildings will be open, but the
machinery will never be turned on
! Sunday

| the rule was modified by competent au-
! thOrity.

! the vote was taken three telegrams to

read asking the commission to enjoin Sun
| day closing. The messages were from the
! Young Mems Christian Association, the
! Christian Endeavor Society and another
Sabatarian society of that city.

THE WOMEN FAVOR OPENING.
Before adiourning sine die this after
noon, the board of lady managers put
itself on record as in favor of opening on
Sunday by almost an unanimous vote At
the opening of the session this morning
Miss Cunningham of South Carolina arose
and addressed the board. She said that
at Yesterdays session Mrs JOHN
A. Logan had, without warrant
asSailed her reputation as member of
the board and impugned her motives She
stamped her foot and exclaimed that she
did not propose TO permit the structures
made by Mrs Logan to go unheeded.
Miss Cunninghams remarks created
some confusion, which was not
allayed until Mrs. Logan arose and dis
claimed any purpose to offend the repre-
sentative from South Carolina.
The proceedings of the day were de
voted chiefly to hearing the delayed re-
ports of committees and the transaction
of unfinished business of minor impOr-
tancc.
Mrs. Cantrill of Kentucky chairman of
the national flower committee, was the
last member to present a report before
adjournment. She embodied her resig-
nation from the executive committee in
her report, alleging discourteous treat
mCnt from its members.
