There are few contracts yet 1aa"aloeo'
which will swell the total cost to nearly quar-
ter Of million. Work will be begun on Mon
day. when Mr. Green's men will set to work
driving piles for tie foundation. The outer
piles Will be sunk 27 feet deep, and the inner
row Il feet. Brick archeB will connect the piles,
snd On the arches the supe1structure WILL fess.
THE bonds require the building to be ready for
use by Sept. Is, though it may be finished fifteen
days earlier. Of itself the structure will be o
thing Of beauty and joy for q long time:
Applications for space are being received by
the Secretary, Mr Reynolds, from many parts OF
the county, indicating that contributions Will
come from all over the Land Proprietors OF
steam engine manufactures have offered to sup
ply all the steam power necessary to move all
the machinery free Of cost. but, Of course, none
of the Offers have been accepted, it being TOO
early to take decisive action.
The outlook is cheering and full OF promlse-
Every citizen Of Chicago must feel an interest IN
the eucces1 OF the undertaking, and il Chicago
does not "hoop up an Exposition III three
months that will be- credit to the entire North
west. it will not be the fault Of the unfaing en-
e1gy that is embarked in the enterprise.
