A cLAMORous EXPRESSION
OF disappointment was falsei today
over tile sillcial announcement that the
great military parade at the Worlds
Fair dedication would be confined 10
the outskirts OF the city consisting Gully
OF q short march from Washington
Park to the Worlds Fair grounds.
While the managers OF the parade de-
clare there never was any intention OF
parnding the down town streets no
doubt such ideas were generally enter
tanned, and tho concenaus OF opinion
this afternoon was that those Tesponsi.
Bile for tho arrangements made
grnvo mistake which could hardly
fail 10 lead to widespread criticism aud
~ feeling. United states infantry,
cavalry, artillery and marines to the
number of 200 went into camp In the
WORLDS Fair grounds today. A larger
body Of troops Will arrive tomorrow
aud Wednesday. Tho advance guards
of tho militia OF the different states on
the grounds are also making arrange
ments for the receptions Of their rogi-
ments, many Of which will arrive to-
morrow. Members OF tho national
commission md the board OF lady man
ayers, ms well us distinguished visitors
and hordes Of slght-seers IRE pouring
into town ae thoy never have done be-
fore. Great activity was displayed by
merchants today decorating buildings
preparatory TO the dedication.
THE MANUFACTURERS BUILDING.
Tho Herald this morning published
the following:
The manufacturers building In Jack
son Park, where all the speeches are 70
be made next Friday and where 5000
voices, obedient to Prof. T0mlia's
baton, viii burst into song, Is one OF
the most remarkable buildings in tho
world. IL has been described In q
variety OF ways and by u number OF
different writer's, but all OF them
| finally come down to the story in the
three words, "largeet on earth" The
| first plans OF the building contemplate
| cd q very ordinary structure, one 70.
] mnrkable only for its great length and
| width. The features OF the hall as II
exists today, which have made II one
| OF tho sensations OF architecture, were
| wholly absent. George ID. Post OF

keeping within the appropriation made

ing the structure with court contain.
ing about ak acres ut either end. The
building was In the form OF two paral.
lei tunnels, connecting Mt either ono
by interseoting tunnels and SPAWNED In
the center by n depressed dome. III,
roof was flat and tho whole structure
commonplace In contrast with the
present admirable and impressiv,
building.
IL was the intention OF the mGRagerl
10 build Ia one of the big courts OF thil
ordinary cdilice music hall, anu II
the other court n house for the leather
exhibit. Either Of theae would hRv,
been almost as large 40 the government
building. One day NJ. IL. DeYoung Of
California, who has decided penchan
Tor figures, cat down TO study MIR
Posts building. He scrubbed all owe
several sheets OF paper md then went
to see Director General Davis.
"DO you know how much room y0l
have In the manufacturers halle" De
Young asked.
"Not as much az we need by good
deal" Colonel Davis replied.
"Well, I'll give you a few figures
the Californian continued. "Thl
building, which spreads over more thar
thirty acrea OF ground, counting In til,
courts, has really but twelve acres o.
door space. When you deduct tn,
losses for aisles and other lossea you
have lett but two and three.quartel
acres. II you don't have that chaugeI
you VIII never get one'tonth OF your
eNhibita In that hall"
Mir. DeYoung kept talking about tn,
building untii this directors Themselves
became interested In the subject.
