is i the literary man connected with the worlds fair commissioners in biting the matters pertaining thereto thit that la Is furnished the press bureaus bureau served as chaperone for the party and creeed off statistics and descriptive information in such euca a marvel que qua manner manber as to convince me As bear hearer erp as did also hs his recitations anecdotes and repartee while at luncheon and during the evening that he be bad a prodigious memory and was poa eissed used of one of the brightest winds minds of the age the magnitude of the work of preparation pa ration fur for the exposition is so flo great that it would be folly to attempt tj 0 de it in a newspaper article andin fact it is bewildering almost appalling to contemplate when on the ground the writ writers erys admiration was called forth by the executive ability which was wae evident in the organization of the forces employed in the accomplishment ment of the bof work k as well as the technical skill emiil exhibited in planning the structure the work seemed to go on without a jar ar every naan man in the vast host engaged seaming to know just what was required of him and being intent upon doing it the area of the grounds which the exhibits will cover is acre acres of which are available for buildings chere will be feet ot of lur lumber laber used in the erection of the buildings which will represent acres of standing forest timber the iron and steel required for the buildings will aggregate tons while the buil buildings diDge erected for the exposition are not of the soli substantial style which characterizes the skyscraping sky scraping commercial structures of newly built chicago they are not by any means of a flimsy order the walls which are usually of frame are covered with a kind of plaster composed of cement and hemp which on can scarcely be distinguished in its outward appearance from stone when finished and can be given any aimy tint desired as well as molded in has bas or other ornamental designs when one views the care with which the work to is being done and thinks of the expense connected therewith it seems incredible that all the buildings on the ground except that erected by japan for its exhibit and which is to be permanent are to be torn dow down u and removed within six months after the close of the exposition as the agreement with the park commis commissioners sioE are r re luiree chicago is the only city in the world that would contemplate such a work worker or flippantly decide upon buch a sacrifice as the demolition of buch costly and structures would involve not that chicago is less utilitarian or more reck lessly extravagant than any other city but that she is in preeminently eminently pre enter priming that whatever to Is dono done here is ie ou on a grander and broader scale than elsewhere than when anything pf af a public nature lit is desirable here expense Is no BO ob obstacle Acle Tho building of the wigwam wl wa m 11 in which the democratic lagona national 1 cog convention Is ie to baht be JK id is an example of this it han ham been in course of construction st now about a mouth month and will be fin finished ishad inside of twenty days jt it will contain toot feet of lumber will cost coat exclusive of the decorating and will be torn down within fifteen daya after the convention closes the builder is to have the material of which it is in composed for tearing it down dow n by the way I 1 was informed while at the pair fair aroud that no provision had bad been made yet by the worlds world Is fair commission for the removal of the build inge the problem with them being to procure and expend the necessary means for their construction and as the cost of removal will be very great and the material not of sufficient elent value to ky pay with the exception oly of aft machinery hall which has b a a already been bargained for by a railroad company to be gusej as a train house it is possible that when the pair fair closes the park commissioners may find that they will have the costly job ob on their hands of clearing the aground with the alternative of allowing the buildings to remain which one would think they might well afford to do A visit to the fair grounds now is sufficient to convince one that a month would be as short a time as any per son need count in spending in chicago to view the exposition A shorter stay would simply be an aggravation as it would simply mean a hurried skimming over of the interesting Inter tating sights instead of a pleasurable and appreciative study chicago I 1 is making extensive arrangements range ments to entertain the host of visitors who will flock here between may lot and october 80 1893 1898 many doubtless hoping to reap a rich harvest and without question i ext summer will witness the grandest gathering in this taj city which the world has ever known 0 C L may sa 1892 |
