CLOSING THE FAIR SUNDAY RESIDENT MEMBER OF THE BOARD IS UNFAVORABLE People Must Be Favored Who Have No Opportunity to See the Exhibits During the Week Would, However, Not Allow Machinery to Run. For sometime tho Portland papers have been full of contention over tho question as to whether tho I-owls and Clark fair should remain open on Sun day, The ministerial associations of tho city, Mime of tho leading , wo men's religious organizations and other forces nre at work preparing to petition congress to refuse the appro priation asked for unless the manage ment of tno fair will promise to keep the gates shut on Sunday. Col, J. il Raley, one of tho mem bers of i.io fair board, is adverse to closing the fair on that day. Ho thinks that llioso who uru nimble to visit tho fair during tho week should hove a chance to do so on Sunday, but that tho machinery and all other exhibits should bo left Idlo. There should Iki nothing on display other than those state cxhlb.is and places requiring extra attention. Tho pull He should have access to tho grounds, but tho whole mechanism of tho fair should bo dormant for t.io nay. This would give all a chanco to uco the fair, In part nt least. All things that are religious are not expedient m an affair of this na ture, and the pleasure ami conveni ence of the mass of the popularo should be considered beforo making a move affecting so many people.
