two great nations Of America and Germany.
I may add also that our industrial ,~classes
and our artists sympathize very heartily with
this Exposition.
When / shall have returned to Germany
l shall be in a position to report to our people
in regard to the indefatigable zeal which is
devoted to the work of the Exposition by that
great number of most intelligent and learned
and prominent gentlemen whom you have
intrusted with the management of the great
enterprise. I shall report about the never
falling vigOr and devotion which these gentle
men are exhibiting in the vast work. shall
tell at home of the beautiful situation, of the
astonishing buildings of your city, of the mag.
niticence and splendor of the palaces which are
to be erected at Jackson Park, and which
we saw in the plans and PICTURES of your
artists and in the foundations actually laid
out.
We now go home with the full impression
that we can enter at once and with condolences.
upon our work and you may feel confident
and assured, gentlemen, that shortly we shall
be able from our side to report progress, i
Germany's exhibition must and shall be worthy
of Germany, and worthy of the great work
Of which it is to form a part.
From DIR. Emil Meyer aoE,or
On my return l assure You | shall make
special mention of the situation of the grounds
for the Fair. / shall report that magnificent,
railroads stretch across the continent so that
there will be no delay in sending exhibits to-
Chicago. I shall tell of the magnificent
hospitality and the marvellous energy of the
people of this city. / can tell you that l leave
Chicago with the idea that it is an honor to
Denmark to participate in this Worlds Fair.
Ny country is not a large one. The population
does not exceed 100000, but we will send
over our best specimens of the fine arts. We
will send a Danish dairy and show you how
we are making butter. Ihope to get together !,
a collection of archaeological treasures, which
will prove of interest. l do not say " good
by for | hope to see you again in 1899,
when the Worlds Fair will be in operation,
and when the little country of Denmark shall
have on exhibition the best that itycan send.
Before leaving Chicago Sir Henry Wood,
dictated a oablegram to be sent to the London
press by a foreign news agency. Among
other things he said
l consider the prospects for success Of the
Exposition very favourable. 1t will be & great.

British art would be the most profitable eAhi-
bit that could be made. This Exposition will
touch the whole of the great west as we'll as
Chicago, and there is a wonderful market Tor
British goods. In this respect it is better for
England to have the Fair in Chicago than in
New York. The situation of the Fair is good
and well adapted to the purpose, and there
will be many novel features. The buildings ara /,
being erected on q magnificent scale they ArN !.
large and costly and by far surpass anything
at the Paris Exposition of 1889. .
While in Chicago the Commissioners
selected sites for the buildings of their
respective Governments. Those of England
and Germany are near the lake shore, north
of the United States Government buildings and
adjoining the site previously allotted to Mexi-
co. Space for the exhibits OF the three nations
in six of the main Exposition buildings was
granted as follows:
