Hut Everything Else Will Be Wide Open. - On ami after May "1 the World Fnlr grounds will be ocn every Sunday. This dcclsioti was reBclml at a meeting ol the director of the Exposition at Chicago on Friday afternoon. President Iligiiibolham bad culled upon Kdwin Walker, who la chairman of the Committee of legislation to submit an otilnion whether or not the Exposition can be cned on the seventh ilay, in spite of the restriction placed upon this feature by Congress whi n the appropri lion of 2.:sX, :) nns granlcd. Mr.Wsiker presented his ollicinl and long interpretation before the directors', which is to the effect that the law passed by Con gress, stiimlotingthut the Exposition should be closed on Sunday, applies only to the buildings containing exhibit, vr. Wnlk er's construction ol the uct further sbv tlmt the buildings erected for other uset.tiie grounds, the Midway riaisunce, with its varied human panorama, and things per ttining thereto, may le thrown on to public Inspection. After considerable discussion a resolution was proposed to oi-en the gates every htm day on and nfter Mav I'l. and to cloce the main buildings containing the exhibits. The resolution was carried by a vole of V!J to 7. Of the seven who voted nny six were in favor of opening the Enir in everv de partment, and the seventh was opposed to opening the gates under anv consideration. Thus, upon the technicality named, the Columbian Fair, will to nil Intents and pur. poses, be open, leaving the public to visit throughout the grounds, to ride on the electric Inuiiches, to enjoy the novelties of the Venetian goudoiiis, to pntrouize anv of the booth or varied attractions of " the l'laisance and to have a gvod time general 1 v. The price cf admission on Sunday will be reduced to 2-1 cents. stMi.w at tup r.un. The Sunday closing rule wus rigidly car ried out on Sunday and tho gales to Jackson I'aik were barred to all sightseers. Itisuie the grounds 4 (nn men were at work on the roadways and buildings. A largo crowd thronged the neighborhood of the Exposi tion, attracted bv the various inn etiins mid side shows which abound in the vicinity. Thousands of Chicagoans took in Huftiilo Hill's "Wild Vst.' to day. Tho c ty parks were thronged ail day with huppv, prosper ous, well-ilre ed, we'll -behaved j cople, who worked all Week, but nie burred fiom the Fair on the only day they have time to visit it. These jieople wero (Uiet ni.d order ly and the grav-coated park poliieman had absolutely nothing to do. Comments not nt all favorable to the iindny closing were heard on every hnnd. The day was a I cuutiful one and the lake was full of pleasure craft. It is estimated thut lui.oui people would have passed through the gates of Jackson 1 vrk on Sun day had they been open.
