It was establishedâ€"with one or two members of the commission concur? ringâ€"that it was created as an ad- visory body of men and women whose actions were subject to ratification by the citizens, thus vesting executive power indirectly in the votes. not the members of the commission. Inasâ€"g much as the commission ignored that provision to submit its recommendaâ€" tions to the populace for ratification, I fail to see any example of that celeâ€" brated “democracy" of which the article boasts. and it was quite within expectation that criticism would fol- low such action wholly in contraven-l tun with the constitution governingi 2iLl actions of that body. Therefore, when the meeting, call-‘ ed ivy the commission. voted again that it should act :15 an advisory body and to have their recommendations}, passed upon by the people. nothingi was taken away and nothing added to, the power of the commission and any' complaint that a new combination ori faction sprung up to jeopardize the: actluty and usefulness of it is wholly! untrue and a malicious accusation. against some of the most progressive} and useful citizens who happened to} vote to restrict the activities of the commission within its originally in-: tended limits. The members of the commission have no teason to be discouraged, but they should remember that public What transpired at the town meet- ing of June 22nd is a matter of record and refutes the allegations contained In the Evanston paper‘s article. In the first place. the meeting was not called by any opposing faction, but by the commission itself. Although this was unknown previous to the meeting, it was i'learly brought out during the progress of same. As far as the criticism] of the comâ€" mission is concerned, it was justified. Under the caption “Initiative Pow- er ls Taken Away From Commission." "The North Shore Review,” a paper calling Evanston its home, under- takes to tell its readers in its last is- sue of June 27th that there is a “small faction" opposed to (as they put it) “too much improvement in Ravinia. The statements made in that article are so wholly and utterly de- void of foundation and facts. that. if written by one in our midst, the writ- er evidently preferred the obsecurity that is father to all vicious and ir- responsible statements â€" ananymity. And it is not too much to say that it reflects little credit on a press that would injure the good name of a real progressive town by giving space to loose. twisted and absolutely untrue statements and asperations. In the first place. there is no facâ€" tion in this town that systematically opposes improvements. Most of us want improvements. though we may .lifi'er in methods, and procedure.

Yesterday was the big day for ‘he First Cavalry I. N. 5.. encamped at For: Sheridan, when: neariy 6000 persons gathered at the fbrt to watch the review and Inspection bf Governor Dunne and his staff. In the‘evening the Governor's party were guest; at a dance given by the commissioned officers of the state troops and those of the Fifth Regulars. At the Sunddy eVening concert Mr. Stock “dodged ‘ train” but it was for the opening number and the train, the Ravinia special, the engineer of which appears to he trying to keep his engine out of competition with the orchestra for he stops the bell and holds the exhaust down to a point where it is hardly noticeable. It is the act of n gentleman and a scholar and would obtain the heartfelt thanks of every Ravinii patron for every en. zineer duplicating it. Miss St. Deéis closes her engage- ment at the paik Saturday night and on Sunday Dorbthy Dickson and Carl Heisen will begin an engagement of two weeks durifiig which they will pre- sent modern dajnces. The tango con- tests, announceii some time ago, have been abandoned, it is said because of lack of intereat‘among the north shore dancers. In place of this the manage- ment has retained Miss Beyer and Mr. Shawn. who hdire been assisting, with great success, “in St. Denis and the two will appeafi each evening. The crowd began coming in the morning, the early arrivals using the vast picnic grounds for games of all kinds, and from noon until the evening concert began every Ravinia special was packed. About 1000 left after the afternoon concert but the majority remained to see the dancers in the evening. Over 1000 were given pass- out checks in order that they might go to the lake between concerts and a large number ;lunched in the picnic grove but from five to eight-thirty it was almost impossible to get a table in the (Tasino er the grove surround- Lng it. Altogether it was a day to cause much handshaking among the managers and to bring forth the best efl'orts of the artists assembled to en- tertain the crot‘d. mum cumin AT ms IONNE Sixty-five thousand people paid fares on the Milwaukee Electric. one of the biggest days the road has ever had, and for every 1,000 who rode on the electric 100 entered Ravinia Park, an attendance record which has only been beaten a few times and then on special days. The enormous crowd: were well taken care of in both cases and everybody seemed hnppy. Of course not all the crowd at the park came on the electric as twelve trains on the Northwestern railroad brought nearly twice melve hundred people and over four hundred autos were counted during the day.

REGULARSWINTWO FROM THE CRBCENN The Crescents lost the first game through the poor catching of Doyle. who subbed for Cronin. Cronin W" Jnahle to play on account of his bum knee. Aside from the catching. the South Siders outplayed the winners both at bat and in the field. Potter. the Crescent hurler, although he was a little off on control, outpitchod Hicks.

The Regulars sprang a pair of surprises on the Crescent: last Sa urdey and Sunday when they ha , ed them a double beating. The Walt Siden won the Fourth of July nm‘ by the score of 4 to 2, and they ct” right back end copped the Sunday cob test 5 to 0. Not only were How: Flinn and his players surprised by Regulare' double victory. but DO wen aleo the Creecent fans, many Reyna) fans, and even some of the Refill! players themselves. However, such things happen in base ball frequently. and it is this uncertainty of the game that facinatee. But putting all oth- er things aside it mult be said that the Regulars. u a team, played bet- ter ball than the Crescents and on that account won. 3:... 2.3%... .2 9-... 5%.. la. :0: Mung...
