Before adjourning the National Commission created the great departments
into which the fair has been divided, as follows:

A — Agriculture. Fruits, Plants, Food and Food Products, Farming Machinery
and appliances. B — Horticulture. Seeds, Wines, Nursery Trees, Garden Imple-
ments. C — Live Stock. Domestic and Wild Animals. D — Fish, Fisheries.
Fish Products and Apparatus of Fishing. E — Mines, Mining and Metallurgy. F
—Machinery. G — Transportation Exhibits. Railways. H — Manufactures. J —
Electricity and Electrical Appliances. K — Fine Arts. L — Liberal Arts. M — Eth-
nology. G — Publicity and Promotion. P — Foreign Affairs.

The Commission devoted much time to other objects of more or less inter-
est to the fair, and then adjourned.

It has met a number of times since, and has wrestled with the liquor and
Sunday opening questions each meeting, and once voted in favor of Sunday
opening and in favor of leaving the matter of selling light wines and malt liquors
with the directors. Subsequently the Commission put itself on record by voting in
favor of Sunday closing, 54 to 6. There are those who believe the National Com-
mission a costly and unnecessary adjunct. On the whole however, it has stood up
nobly and steadfastly for Jackson Park and voted down all dual and other sites.
It has also maintained the dignity of the Government throughout, and often
checked the directory when the latter betrayed an occasional inclination to run
things irrespective of all other organizations.
