WORLD 3 FAIR NOTES.
One of the most striking features of
the Chicago Fair is the absolute and
itaring nudity of the statuary.
The chdrge for a room in Chicago--,
hotel or boarding-house ranges from X
to $5 a day. The average price for an
average room is now $2 a day.
The Countess di Brazza, sent to Chi
cago by Queen Marghenta to watch over
Italy's collection of laces, is an Ameri
can, who before her marriage was Miss
Cora Slocum.
Washington State day at the Chicago
Fair, which was to have been May 17,
ha been postponed until some time in
June, owing to the unfinished condition
of the State building.
The Chicago City Council has unani
mously passed a resolution declaring for
Sunday opening of the World's Fair
grounds, and as representatives of $5,
000,000 of stock in the exposition criti
cised the financial management which
closes the gates on one day out of the
seven.
Commissioner Forsyth has presented
a communication from wine growers of
California. There have been charges
that rostaurantkeepers at the fair placed
such high prices on California wines that
no one will call for them, as they can ob
tain foreign wines at almost the same
price. Californians assert that restau
rants at the ground will not place any
wines upon their lists unless a bonus of
$2,000 to $5,000 is paid thorn. Califor
nians say this would exclude their wines,
as they cannot afford to pay any such
sums. They propose therefore to estab
lish a cafe a the California building, in
which all the wines of the California ex
hibitors will be listed. New York, Ohio
and other domestic winemakers will be
given a show on the same cards. The
council of administration ia asked to re
duce the usual 25 per cent, tamed in to
them as their share of sales to 10 per
cent, to enable wine to be sold at re
duced prices.
The World's Fair gates will be open to
the public Sunday, and the vexed ques
tion is settled. At the regular monthly
meeting of the local Director of the
World's Fair, it was decided to open the
gate of Jackson Park to the public for
half the sum of the admittance to the
fair during the week, viz: 25 cents.
This action has nothing to do with the
opening of buildings. The latter will
remain dosed as required under the laws
passed by -Congress, and as agreed to
when the $2,500,000 was accepted from
the Fifty-second Congress. The vote by
which the resolution was adopted was
twentv-seven to seven. Under the
resolution Midway Plaisance is also
thrown open. Edwin Walker, altrney
for the board, submitted an opinion,
aud on the strength of the opinion the
board acted. Briefly, Walker decided
the exposition grounds altogether a
distinct and seperate thing. Unless the
National Commission acta vigorously
to prevent it, Jackson Park will be open
Sundays, the exposition buildings re
maining closed. t -'...v. "irr"w" '
After much hard work the committee
investigating misunderstandings in the
bureau of music has made a report to
the national commission. It is a most
severe arraignment of Theodore Thomas
and his methods of conducting the bu

to Chief Harpist Schencke. who proposed
to a local lirm of musical instrument
utitiufacturers that he would play their
harps for a bonus of $1,000 a year.
Schencke in his testimony, it appears,
admitted having made the proposition.
