II there has been in the past any suspicion doubt

or envy. Applause On the contrary people
would be more likely to contribute more generously
lest their failure to fulfil the largest expectation Of
Chicago should be attributed 10 disappointment.
Do you ask me what New lork cOntemplates doing
IN aid Of the Exposition reply that she will occupy
q conspicuous place upon the site chosen, and will
undoubtedly construct building quite commensurate
