These two. being near tha. portion Of
the par,, which was common and freely

the north side Of he lagoon, which was
from the beginning the southern boun-
dary of Jackson, no ore is permitted to
walk through the grounds without
formal permission. Yet these two

The superintendent reports "about
three thousand men" employed on the
grounds. The estimate seems very
generous. OF course the grounds arc
extensive, ard the places where little
groups OF worlSmen might be hidden

nearly so numerous ss they might be.
The superintendent announced ma
jority of the buildings would be under
roof by winter time; but the visible
promise of iEclosure is confined to the
voniens' building alone. Fortune may
favcr Chicago with another warm win
