opening. Judging from what has already been
accomplished: it may be safely asserted that the
coming Vienna Worlds Fair
WILL FAB oUTsTRIP,
both in grandeur and vastness of enterprise, all
that has ever been attempted in this line
Should the carrying out OF this gigantic under
taking be crowned with the success anticipated
by its projectors and promoters, then indeed,
will Austro-Hungary have achieved the greatest
victory Of modern times. Neither Londcn nor
Paris will then be able to retain ell the laurels
gained in their efforts to promote the industry
of the world. A very large share OF them will
fall to the lot Of Vionna and the Austrian people,
Without the least desire to go into ecstacies
over this great undertaking, shall give you
few data Of what has already been DONE and
what is expected to be done before tho 1st Of
HAY next; and in putting this and that together,
you may judge for yourself whether am not
justified in calling the Vienna Worlds Fair the
grandest effort on the part OF working mankind
to promote it's welfare by means of competition
and emulation. Nov to facts:
To begin With:
where the Exposition grounds are located, being
3 very extensive park on the shores of the
Danube, is the most fitting place imaeinable for
the purpose. Visitors by the hundred thousand
may seek enjoyment IN its shady graves, beauti-
tu1 walks. splendid drives, and in the number
less places OF amusement OF its "Wurstel
Prater," without any noticeable o7ercrowding or
discomfort. The grounds Of the Exposition
themselves are, save where the buildings stand,
series of most beautiful groves and forests.
So, when the eye OF the visitor to the In
dustry Palace gets weary in looking at the works
of man, he has just to step out into one of the
many little groves, and there enjoy the beauties
of Nature, and reiuvigorate himself for another
walk through the Temple of Art and Industry.
