S ,ecial Correspondence OF The Seutinel.l
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-People haven't
any idea how things are going to look
at the World Fair Grounds until
they see for themselves. No matter
how many pictures one may study he
will be very much surprised when he
goes to the Fair next summer and sees
what has really been done. There is
nothing mean about Chicago's section
of the globe when it comes to matters
like this.
This weeks happenings at the big
enclosure at Jackson Park have open
ed the eyes of a good many people,
American and otherwise, both as to
the size of the coming show and the
trouble it is to take care of ones self
in crowd that so completely runs
over Chicago as this one does. Ac-
comodations have been worse than at
a premium. The man counted him
self lucky who is able to get hold of
twelve square feet of cot and enough
hall space to hold it while he slept at
anywhere from one dollar to three
dollars a.night. Such thing as hav
ing a room was not to be thought of
unless one arrived early in the week
or had secured it in advance by pay
ing high price long before he was
ready to use it.
A WONDERFUL AFFAIR.
The dedication took three days and
was a wonderful affair. People from
all over the world came to see it.
Every one connected with the nations
ffri h nt n TO
an especial pride in dropping work
and coming over to the eXcitable
West to take in the proceedings.
Officials from the Vice-President
down, with every intermediate rank
imaginable, were on hand. The min
listers plenipotentiary from every
nation of the globe sparkled most
Iuxuriantly in their un-American
clothes, and appeared to enjoy it:
the sisterhood States, surrounded by
their staffs, and looking much more
dignified but far less snowy than
their companions, mingled with The
crowd in thoroughly Democratic
way and lived magnif1ciently at the
expense of the people. Senators and
Congressman were common for the
time and were hardly noticed by the
throng.
q
jam in the streets and every where
else. Then the civic parade,
TEN MILES LONG,
went through the business part of
town. Standing room could not be
had even on the roofs of the twelve
and fourteen story buildings along
enormous specimens of Chicagoism
was box with seats taken eagerly at
S. piece, and people stood for five
solid hours in positions that you
could not have forced them into on
ordinary occasions. No space that
could afford a view-be it ever so
meager-of the march was left I'M
used. Vice-President Morton spent
three hours on stand at the north
end of the pOStoffice and watched the
movements of the line, responding to
the salutes of the eighty thousand
men who passed in review. He was
fianked on either side by the Govern
ors and their staffs, who first rode by
in carriages and then came in by a
side entrance to their boxes. In
North Carolina's part of th, parade
there were three carriages, one of
which held Governor Holt and Adju-
were occupied by members of the staff.
ACRES OF PEOPLE.
Thfrty-two acres of people saw the
dedicatory exercises in the enormous
manufactures building Friday but
| not one of the hundred thousand pre-
sent heard a word that was said by
| the speakers. The only thing that
made itself really known was the
singing of a chorus of 5000 who sat at
one end of the vast structure on a
platform that in the immensity of
| space looked hardly large enough foI
| five hundred.
NORTH CAROLINA'S PARTY
| More than the rusual amount OF
| honor was paid Gov. Holt here, which
| is due to the fact that in addition to
| his being the representative of one

body was interested In him, because

| the famous remark of one of his dis
tinguished predecessors to the Gov
ernor of South Carolina, allusiOn tC
this philosophical but official com
ment has been frequent all the week
whenever Governor Holt appeared OF
was mentioned. The Governors big
handsome adjutant, Gen. Glenn, has
been constantly at the chiefs side
when in public, and has been the OBJ
ject of seas of admiration from the
ladies.
