WORLDS FAIR.
A Grand Exhibit Expected From
California.

Chicago has been agreeably astonished
at the demands made by California for space
at the Worlds Fair, and expects her TO as
sumo the leading position among the exhib-
itors," said Mark L. Mcdonald, one of the
Worlds Fair Commissioners for this State,
last night.
s. have lately returned from that big
Western city," he continued, "and now in
tend to do my utmost to persuade Califor-
mans to make their exhibit at the great fair
one that will show to the world our unlimit-
ed resources. The people of Chicago expect
us to persist in our demand for ten acres
space, and will grant it. They have heard
us promise to raise few hundred thousand
dollars for exhibition purposes, and we
must carry out our promises. They believe
we will erect large building for our sepa-
rate exhibits. and they are anxious that we
should do so.
Chicago will give us plat Of ten acres
in favorable locality if we ask for it. The
Director-General, Colonel George E. Davis,
assured me that California can have build
ing of her own. He is man of great execu-
tive ability and will make the fair a sue
cess. The only conditions he attached to
our having separate building for our ex-
hibits were that We keep in order the
grounds surrounding the structure, and that
duplicates Of our exhibits be placed in other
buildings according to classification.
regard THIS privilege as magnificent
concession. am positive we can get it, as
/ looked after the matter myself. 1 also
made certain that the horticultural bureau
would be separate from the agricultural
bureau. This will be of great advantage to
us, as our horticultural exhibit must neces-
sarily be unequaled. Already Mr.. uchan-
nan of Sioux City, Iowa, who is one of the
Commissioners. has been appointed chief
of the agricultural bureau. The chief of the
horticultural bureau will be appointed
shortly.
Il would suggest immediate action in ar
ranging for exhibits at the fair, and that
our new Legislature be petitioned for lib
eral appropriation for that purpose. Cali
fornians should be impressed with the fact
that an opportunity will be presented at the
fair to exhibit all our products in one grand
exhibit.
1.-The idea of California having a building
for permanent exhibition suggested itself
TO me while l was in Chicago and l pre-
sented it to the Park Commissioners. They
received it very favOrably, and proposed
site for that purpose in Washington Park,
which is the nearest park to the center of
the city. There is no estimating the value
of such an exhibition to California. When
our people visit the fair am in hopes they
will make a practical effort to establish
permanent exhibition in Washington Park"
