CHICAGO, June 5.-One great question
for the week overshadows all others at the
worlds fair. The refusal by the United
States court on Saturday to grant tempo
rary Injunction closing the gates of the
fair on Sunday is no indication of what
the ultimate decision will be, and all ex-
pectation is fixed upon Thursday, when
the decision will be handed down. In the
meantime, another success was scored in
yesterdays open fair. Although the at
tendance was not heavy. owing to = down.
pour of rain. the crowd was quiet and
well behaved.
An important step in advance has been
made In the withdrawal of the rule which
permitted the official photographer of the
exhibition to charge every person who took
photographs in the grounds for the privi-
lege. Hitherto illustrated newspapers have
paid as high as So for every plate, but they
will now receive permits free upon appli-
cation to the director general. The monop-
oily has created a great deal of dissatisfac
ton, and the change will be greeted with
much satisfaction.
So will the decision of the management
to place seats through the grounds. Hither-
to there have been hardly any of these and
tired visitors have been compelled to hire
campstools or resort to expensive wheel
chairs, unless they were willing to stand
up.
The award rules may be said to be fixed
at last, the alteration being in the line of
concessions to the foreign commissioners.
They prescribe that awards shall be
granted upon specific points of excellence
or, advancement formulated in words by
board of judges or examiners who shall be
competent experts This effectually dis
poses of the possibility of graded prizes.
All the medals will be alike, and the
certificates of award will specify the
points of excellence or advancement
for which they are granted. The board of
judges is to be divided into thirteen COM
mittees, which is one committee for each
of the great departments of the fair. There

to be advisable special committee will be
appointed to assist an individual judge in |
bis examination of particular exhibit. |
There is to be foreign representative on
each of the thir teen committees. Each ex-
hibit is primarily examined by a single ex-
pert judge, who submits his report to the |
committee. If this Is objected to, then
the special committee Is appointed. The
reports of the experts and judges become |
the official history of the fair.

The secretary of the Association of Foreign
