atrlction of the concessions department
Overtures of the concessionariea have
been met with almost Impregnable red
tap which has characterized the admin
Utration end of the exposition since its
exception and the ahow men are now de
termlned that their ultimatum shall be
carried out to tbe letter in the event
that the officials do not grant the concea
sion.
Notwithstanding, to acertain extent
tlve exposition officials are right in being
reluctant to entertain the proposition
submitted by the Trail association, the
St.- Louis exposition waa not open at
all on Sundaya and to this la accredited
a great losa of money. Wishing to con
sider the arguments of every element
tha Lewis and Clark administration de
elded to open the grounds from 1 P. M.
until mlduight, to close th exhibit
placet and Trail attractions and to give
band concertp in the auditorium, as
well aa oratorios and to hold religious
services. This decision met with the
hearty approval of men prominent in
the ecclesiastical field, and resulted in
their offering the exposition company
their hearty co-operation.
However, without the Trail, the expo
aition will prove a aad enterprise, and
everything pointa to the capitulation
of the management.

cluded the court adjourned.
