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.

throughout the grounds, to ride on the
electric Inuiiches, to enjoy the novelties of

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

worked all Week, but nie burred fiom the

absolutely nothing to do.
Comments not nt all favorable to the

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
