THE TABLES TURNED.

The Chicago Fair Omci.Is Want to Close
Up Tomorrow, but Are Afraid to do So.
WORLDS FAIs GROUNDS, CHICAGO, July 22-
President H Higinbothsm, the director general.
Commissioner St. Clair and Superintendent
Tucker of the department Of admissions unite
today in saying that there will be no
open fair tomorrow and they affect in
difference toward the injunction issued
by Judge Stein restraining the directors
Of the fair from closing the gates on
Sunday. The attorneys for the exposition
have not gone into court TO obtain . modiica-
tion of the courts mandate, and Mr.. Clingman,
in whose name the proceedings have been con-
Quoted. refuses to recede from his original
position. But the responsible officers OF
the fair do not care to take any risk OF
being punished for contempt of court OF
have any trouble with the sheriff Of Cook
county. The legal status Of tpe case will be
thoroughly considered at a meeting of the
council OF administration today and the ex-
act course Of action for tomorrow deter
mined upon. 1t is the sentiment Of the
officials to follow the letter Of the law as
laid down by Judge Stein. but evade the spirit
Of it. To do this. few Of the gates will
probably be open and any one who wants to
pay fifty cents to see q shut up show will be
allowed to do 80. But ofhcially and practically
the exposition will be closed tomorrow and
every other Sunday until the end Of October.
The restraining order OF the court is not taken
to apply to the departmental buildings. which
will be closed by the order OF the director gen.
eral, who has full charge OF them The
people back of Mr.. Chngmsn, however,
talk Of obtaining an extension from the
injunction SO IS to prevent the closing Of the
big buildings. But the exhibitors have
prepared to cover their displays to-
morrow and the attendance of visitors will
be small indeed when they can't see
anything inside the buildings. As far as
the Midway Plaisance is concerued it is part OF
jackson Park and consequently embraced in
the open order of the court. The concession.
aries would reap harvest by getting Sunday
crowd OF patrons, and they are not putting any
stumbling blocks in the wav of the injunction.
Early next Tuesday ffty-two public school
teachers, selected by popular vote Of the readers
Of the Pittsburg Times, viii arrive at the fair
to remain ten DAYS. In the afternoon there
will be a reception at the Pennsylvarna build
ing. Maj. VI. P. Handy making an address oi
welcome and Dr. y. c. Schaefer, superin
tendent Of public instruction in Pennsylvania
responding.
The fair viii be closed tomorro~. Directo,
General Davis said this last evening.
You know Judge Stems injunction is still In
force, he said, but We have decided to clos
the gates on Sunday. as the public well under
stands. and they will be closed next sunday"
Members of the council OF administration
including President Higinbotham, did no
speak with so much confidence about the mat
ter. They say they had not given SUNDAY
closing thought since it was decided to clos
the gates.
