Lake Michigan, and it made life
pleasant at Jackson park. The
attendance was not large, however,
and those who ventured out had plenty
of elbow room to take in the sights. 1t
was estimated by the bureau of admis-
sions tonight that today's attendance
would number about $4,000 to $4,000 peo-
pie. 1t was about the same as that of
yesterday, which was $500.
The council of administration decided
today to keep the worlds fair open
every night until II o'clock. Heretofore
the gates have been opened to visitors
only on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday nights, which have been
known as special nights at the fair,
some special feature being prepared
for each sevening. There has been
such a clamor. especially among Chi
cago people, that the council of admin
istration responding to the force
brought to bear held special session to
consider this matter. 1t was the general
sense of the council that this conceS-
sion be
Made to the Public,
and a resolution to this effect was
adopted. Sunday. Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday nights. however, will
continue to be known as special nights,
and entertaining features will be
devised for the crowds who at
tend on these evenings. The peO-
pie of Chicago naturally expect
to profit most by this new de-
parture. as aside from Sunday and the
nights On which the fair has heretofore
been open, business men, clerks and
working people in general have had no
opportunity of seeing the sights at jack
son park. The railroads, car lines and
boat lines will make a special effort to
get the people to and from the fair i'll
the shortest possible time. so as to make
the trip as easy and pleasant as possible.
The committee on ceremonies has
prepared a programme for the obServ-
ance of the Fourth of July at the White
City. The military and civic organiZa-
tionS of the city will be invited to pa
rade through the grounds and take part
in the ceremonies. Gen. Nelson Miles
will be requested to furnish a
battery of artillery to fire salutes at sun
rise. At 10 O'clock i'll the forenoon
there will be all international parade in
which all the foreign nations having
exhibits at the fair will be requested to
participate. The deniZens of the Mid
way Plaisance will also be in line. The
Declaration of independence
will be read at 2 o'clock in the after
noon at haIf-a-dozen different points in
the grounds. In the evening there will
be grand electric display and
the grandest display of fireworks
the fair has yet had. During the day
the chimes of bells in the tower of ma
chinery hall and in the German gov
eminent building Will be running at
frequent intervals during the day.
August st. Gaudens statue of Co
lumbus is now in place under the bal
couy at the east front of the admins
tratlon building. All that remains to
be done is to patch few breaks in the
plaster that were made in the transport
tation.
The Methodist and other church So
cietieS, which threaten to remove their
exhibits from the Liberal Arts section
because the exposition is to be kept
open on Sundays. will find themselves
baked when they come to do so. The
drector-general will inform them, as he
has other exhibitors who wanted TO
take out their displays, that the goods
were entered for the period of the fair
and that they must remain until the
fair is over.
Prot. John Stainer, the organist of
st. PauPS cathedral, London, has been
asked by cable message TO act as one
the judges on the piano and organ ex-
hibits. The message was sent today,
and as yet he has not had time to make
reply.
One More Suit.
T
Cleland, representing the firm of Wanna
maker IL Brown, which has filed bill
asking that the worlds fair be closed on
Sundays, hunted around the govern
ment building most of the morning
trying to find a United States circuit
judge to set a date for the hearing
of their case. They were unsucceSs-
full. however, SO the matter went
over until tomorrow. Edwin Walker,
counsel for the exposition company.
who had been cited to be on hand, was
rather disposed to make light of the
whole thing. He said that for the
life of him he could not see how
single one of the 10000 stockhoId-
ers could maintain such an action
against its own directors, and, besides
that, Wanamaker d Brown is New
Jersey corporation, and as such is not
Gnlllltu W lOlu SUCK III oil 1lllUOlS cor
poration. Finally Mr.. Walker opined
that the suit was nothing but an adver-
Using dodge on the part of Wanna maker
d Brown, and was disposed to treat it
as such.
Prof. Hiram A. GOoch, principal of
the intercollegiate Preparatory School
of the Chicago university will, Wednes-
day, open summer school for the prac-
tical study of the exposition. The en-
terpriSe has received the sanction of the
officials. and Prof. Gooch will be assisted
by competent corps OF assistants. One
hour lectures will be given the class,
after which the teachers will go with
the pupils for practical observation of
the exhibits. The study of electricity
will be taken up first.
No Reduction in Admission.
The officials of the fair do not favor
reducing the price of admission Oh Sun
day to twenty-five cents. 1t has been
urged by many that, inasmuch as quite
a number of exhibits are closed
or covered on Sunday, the adj
mission price should be reduced.
A number of the commissioners
favor this plan, but the officials are vio-
lently opposed to it. President Higin-
botham said today he did not think the
price should be reduced, as it would
have a tendency to attract a great
noisy crowd on the Sabbath day
and this the officials desired to avoid.
He stated that the exposition is worth
so cents to any person on any day.
There will be religious exercises, sacred
music and all else that is calculated 10
make Sunday what it should be.
FL. P. Rucker, worlds fair commits
sioner from North Dakota. returned
from a trip through the Northwest 20
day. He says that Minnesota and North
western stock raiSerS in general are
preparing to bring stock 10 the fair.
The fact that the crops are looking good
in that part of the country will have a |
tendency to increase the number of ex-
hibltorS.
