World’s Fair Sunday Opening
CHICAGO, November 11.—At a meeting of the World's Fair directors this afternoon a resolution was passed favoring the opening of the World's Fair gates Sundays, provided the machinery be not run. The directors declare that, as all nations of the earth have been invited to attend, it would be highly discourteous and inhospitable to inform them that they cannot do on Sunday what they would do were they at home. The closing of the gates Sunday, says the resolutions, means that thousands of artisans and mechanics, to whom the exhibition will be of inestimable advantage, would not be able to attend it. The directors say they are in favor of allowing every nation to hold within the grounds such religious services as they may desire on Sunday.—S. F. Examiner.
