When | drat sa(or(aincd tho idea of
establishing m Assoolafsd Pres Let
ter" enterpfise, I bolleged the success
Of the undertaking would DO materially
enhanced by noting FROM time to time,
the progress made In tho matter
of tho Worlds Exhibition, designed
to be held in the United States
in 1876, for the purpose Of publicly
cominemorating the first century of
our existance las y nation / still en-
terrain that belief although II few pub
fishers declined taking the letters, and
a few more who were taking them di-
rected their discontinuence, because
they chose TO regard II as an "advcitis-
ing dodge" for the Centennial.
\ Such Is not the case, and consider
that these publishers possibly score
of them--have lost an excellent oppor-
tunity Of securing information concern
ing this Great American event that
othes journalists In the same county
may take advantage OF. Six months
hence and every newspaper In the ma
ton will want the fullest and most au-
tlientic ncwsofthe American Commem-
oative Exhibition, and to more than
two hundred patrons Of the Associated
Press Letters throughout the United
States and Canada, ] propose, as often
as occasion requires, furnishing authcn-
tic and, what consider. desirable in
formation about the Worlds Fair.
For this purpose have gone over
the Exhibition grounds TO personally
observe the progress Of the work, and
am free to confess that any doubts l
may heretofore have entertained as to
the ability of the contractor, Richard
! j. Dobbins, Esq, n complete the-erec-
ton Of the buildings IN time Tor the
reception Of articles to be exhibited, no
longer exist. Mr.. Dobbins has entered
into contract to erect the Memorial
Hall, or permanent Art Gallery the
Main Exhibition building or Grand
Pavilion and the Conservatory, or

used during the exhibition as an Art
Gallery for the display of paintings,
