would conflict somewhat with the dcdcaory exercises
at Chicago and prevent the participation in the latter
function ~ the New York Worlds Fair Commissioners

speech, the advantage TO both cities Of the chnnge Of
date he suggested and pointed besides that owing
to the differences Of reckoning between the new and

day for celebrating the Columbian quadro az
october II. The Illinois Senators and the Worlds
