That superb and spontaneous test Of its sin

Chicago was going to offer for the admiration
Of the world does not seem to have mateiialized
according 20 the predictions Of It's newspapers
We had been led 10 expect that when the rch
men Of the Western metropolis got together the
a.nosuhere would be thick and the sun OBJ

they talked, they dispersed and nothing more

the purpose Of seeing that his money was where
it belonged and in no danger Of escaping. II
this is what our eIubelant contemporaries call
a good beginning they must have modified their
views extensively within the last few days.
They declared that the movement in favor Of
New-YOrk was doomed To ignorniniOus failure
so soon as they ascer.aincd that the Mayors
meeting neglected TO raise guarantee fund Of
say-eral millions Now il turns out not only
that the Chicago conference is chargeable with
the same oversight, but that this was the only
roint Of resemblance between the two meetings.
Ours was cordial. determined harmonious and
eminen,ly practical theirs was cold, Indifferent
undemonstrative and slow. We are dsap
