"The Critic" contains an interesting note
anent the unanimity with which the people OF
| Chicago regard the question of site for the
Worlds Fair, as contrasted with what they call
the squabbling that is going on in this city over
the same matter. A New-YorlIer met two men
| in Chicago One of them assured him that the
thing was all settled, and that Irving Park was
the place decided on. The other turned up his
| nose in supreme disdain at the mention Of Irving
| Park and declared with vehemence that the Lake
| front was the only place for the Fair. 1t only
remains to be added that the first Chicagoan lives
| in Irving Park and the second on the Lake front

| in New-York revived" We are sorry that any
resident of this city temporarily lost faith

| Exposition of 1922 but this narrative teaches
that the hearts of Chicago do not beat altogether
as one when this great site question is mooted.
