The announcement made by thu Council
of Administration that the Wor d s Colum

ly closed October 30,but would remain ojieai
us long as the weather permits and the peo
ple unnt to come, does not mean exactly
what it savs. Nobody expected that tho gates
would be abandoned tho moment tbe cur
tain dropped on the White City, and it will
ertoinly drop October 30, and nobody ex
pects that people who wish to enter the
grounds to watch the buildings being torn
down ami exhibits move ! away will be de
nied that privilege if they uro willing to pity
for passing through tbe gates. That is all
the resolution adopted by tbe Council ol
Administration means. The Fair hus no
otliciul recognition by Congress after Oct.

on their way from the grounds as earlj as
