CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The scene presented
by the vast gathering in the dedication
building yesterday was one never to be
forgotten. In many respects it was
without precedent. Everything was on
lhe order of the superlative. The dedi-
eation hall-the Manufacturers and Lib
sral Arts Buildings the largest struct-
nre ever erected, and in it was gathered
the largest crowd ever assembled beneath
single roof. In the audience were
probably more distinguished Americans
than have ever been seen together on
any commemorative occasion in the his
tory of the republic. Learned jurists
from the bench, cabinet officers, govern
crs of states senators and congressman,
klmirals and generals with all the re-
ks liza of authority, cardinals with their
tAignia of apostolic faith, scientists who
BE fast wrestling from jealous nature the
problems of the ages-all these gathered
here to do honor to the great silent stu
dent of four hundred years ago, who, in
his way, was the pioneer of them all;
who led the van of human thought and
manly daring and gave to the world a
new continent and to posterity an inn
perishable reverence for Christopher Col
umbus.
The official programme was carried out
in every particular, and there was no
hitch whatever in the proceedings. In
the building in which the ceremonies
took place were packed nearly 100000
spectators. Some 10000 soldiers took
part in the military display. The seven
mile route of the procession from Michi-
gan avenue to Fifty-fourth street was a
mass of struggling humanity.

chat part OF the exposition to be devoted
70 the commercial and mechanical pro-
gress of the world was followed in tho
evening by the inauguration of another

lasting.
The great hall was inadequate for the
accommodation of those who desired to
bake part in the proceedings, popular in
terest in the occasion being heightened by
the announcement that Archbishop Ire
land, of st. Paul, would deliver the prln-
cipal address of the evening. The opon-
