®he Weekly €lonidc LOVELY WOMEN STOOP TO FOLLY. A Row Among the World’s Fair Lady Managers. Paderewski Succeeds in Playing on His Favorite Piano. The White Citv Looked Attractive in the Sunlight. World’s Fair Grounds, Chicago. 111-, May 2.—When the board of lady mana gers assembled in the woman s building for their regular meeting today, there was a jolly row growing out of yester day's dedication ceremonies. Many of the ladies are intensely angry with the ceremonies committee on account of what they are pleased to call an unpardonable slight, and utile s wise heads prevail the whole matter will be officially brought before the board iti the form of a vigo rous protest, w’.r.ch will make trouble. The dissatisfied ladies accuse the cere monies i■. mini'itoe and Mrs. Mary Lo gan, as well as the president of the board, in particular, with assuming to run the woman's department in exclu sion of the other Indios interested. The ladies, base their complaint on the fact that none but a favored few met the Duchess of Veragua. No one of the other commissioners were presented. it is alleged, and it is said Mrs. Logan took it upon herself to entertain the guests.' The real trouble in the board of lady managers, however, dates back to the days of Phoebe Cousins. The faction that supported her is growing largely, and is uot slow in declaring that certain members of the Ixiard are doing all the work, while others are taking all the honor. The first concert by the Exopsition or chestra of 114 pieces was given this afternoon in Music hall. Paderewski wsb present, and performed on iiis fa vorite piano, in spite of the objections of piano exhibitors. The concert was de layed about fifteen minutes owing to the action of the council of the administra tion in closin the doors until the piano controversy had lieen settled. The crowd in attendance was small but en thusiastic, the opening number by Thomas' orchestra, an* overture, “Con secrat ion of the House.'' by Becthovan, being 1 avlly applauded. I’rder'wski was given an enthusiastic reception. He played two pieces, a concerto in A mi nor, by himself, and a nocturne by Chopin. Both were well receiv.d. The concerts will be continued from day to day. It may l>e stall'd in connection with the decision of the council of ad ministration in the piano imbroglio that none of the pianos received in the mau ufaeturer’s hall to be placed on exhibition have been unpacked. Paderewski’s piano is of a make that is not represented in tile manufacturer’s ball, and piirtio ex hibitors raised a great row with the mu sic committee because of th ■ fact. Chicago, May 2.—Bright sunshine and a clear sky made the big white World’s Fair buildings attractive to look upon this morning.
