WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
The Lake Front Site Benefit to Clerks
and Business Men.

dual site, it must not be forgetting that the
fair will be an entirety. It is the intention
of the Board, so far as it may be able to do
so, to locate the agricultural and stock ex-
hibfis in the same inclosure with the ma
chinery, State and such other exhibits, as
will render that portion of the exhibition
at least equalin general interest and attrac-
tiveness to the other portions of the fair.
Concerning the exhibits upon the lake
front, the Board contempiates placing them
in the art building, which is designed to be
a large structure beautiful in architectural
designaand finish. Among the displays in
it besides art will be extensive electrical
plants, Turkish, Indian and Egvotian
villages, Government department exhibits,
etc.
Of course, the report says, it is quite inn
possible for the Board to do more than
generalize at the present time. One of the
reasons advanced for the use of the lake
front is the fact that the greater proportion
of the business men, clerks and industrial
classes will find their time more severely
taxed in the care of visitors from all over
the world than at any other period. Their
opportunities for visiting that part of the
exhibition lying more remote from the
center of the city will not be all that could
be desired, and it is imprscticable to keep
open in the evening buildings much re-
moved from the center. Lake front can
thus be well utilized in the evening.
