CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The first Sunday
at the exposition for the West Point
cadets was passed in a quiet manner.
Visitors were few, and the boys EN-
ioyed a season OF relief from the thou
sands of questions that have been piled
from day 10 day by curious visitors.
The usual routine of camp life was car
RED on as vigorously as ever. Troop
paarde and guard mount were held in
the morning, after which tue young
soldiers were given permission to leave
the grounds and attend church where
they pleased. Many Of the boys availed
themselves of the opportunity and de-
parted frcm the grounds, while others
spent the day in seeing what sights a
Sunday fair offered. Had there been
services in Festival hall, as on two or
three Sundays in June, the entire regi-
ment would have attended in body,
following closely the usual custom of
wor5hipiug in the chapel i'll the
academy on the banks of the Hudson
every Sunday morning. Dress parade
was given at 6 tonight, the splendid
maneuvers of the handsome boys being
generously applauded by good-siZed
crowd of spectators. The effort at dis

Sunday having dragged along in the
courts for another week, the fair was
open today. The attendance was very
small, and the grounds, after having
been thronged with splendid crowds all
week, appeared strangely deserted. The
buildings were open. but the few people
who wandered through their vast areas
did not find much to delight the eye, as
nearly all the exhibits were covered.
As OH previous Sundays, the directors
have opened the gates under protest.
No music was given in any of the pa
vifions, and no attraction OF any charac-
ter that wOutd attract the people was
offered. The week just closed was

from the railroads in the matter of ex-
