July 1, Sunday opening of the World's fair will Ik? a thiiiL' of the oast. At

yesterday's meeting of the local 11 rec

tors by a vote of --I to 4 a resolution was adopted ordering the gates of the exposition chiscd on the first day of the week, after to-morrow. The entire receipts of to-morrow, "Hero's Day,' are to be donated to the families f tho firemen who lost their lives in the Cold Storage warehouse fire. The directors were reluctant t admit that Sunday opening had proved a failure, but the dwindling attendance and the opposition of many f the exhibitors who were unwilling to meet the extra exnense entailed by a seven

day fair, has forced the conclusion upon the local managers of the exposition that nothing was to 1h( gained by a Sunday fair. The working people who are unable to attend on week days have not tak'en kindly to a Sunday fair with motionless machinery and covered exhibits. While the Art palace and the plaisnnce have been well patronized on Sunday the other features f the exposition have oll'ered but slight attraction to visitors. Tin. lwrsistent onnosition of the re

ligious element throughout the country has without doubt had a powerful inlluence in bringing about the action of thedirectors. Hundreds of petitions have been receivel from religious bodies and prominent preachers praying the iiW be closed Sundays, and promising all the ai l in their power to make the exposition u financial success if such action were taken. Yesterday a letter was read to the directors, signed by a large number of Chicago's best-known preachers, including such names as those of Itislmp Morrill, of the Methodist Kpiseonul

church; Dean Hulburt, f the Divinity school of Chicago; Arthur El wards, editor of the Christian Atlvocate; liev. Dr. Harrows, chairman of the general committee of the religious congress; Simon Gilbert, editor of the Advance; El Gonsaulus, Dr. McPherson and others cually well known. Thu address declared that a fair trial had proved that there was no general demand for an open Sunday, and the highest success of the exposition was imperiled by the alienation of millions of people who were opposed to Sunday opening. It appealed to tho directors to close the fair oil Sundays so that the religious element could he free to co-operate with them in making the exposition as remarkable for I its attendance as it was for its niate- ' rial grandeur.
