the President will have to take part in
the ceremonies at the review at New
Aork, and then leave almost Immediately
for Chicago. TO keep the promise that he
would touch the button that would start
the machinery of the big exposition and
formally open the Fair. To attend the
rendezvous would rccessitate MS being
away from his duties longer than he Is
willing 10 leave them. The news mat the

will be a great disappointment to those
who have been so active in looking after
the success OF the rendezvous, though
things have progressed so favordbly that

cess of the affair. The crowd that will
see the greatest gathering Of the ships OF
the world ever held in any country will
simply overtop anything Of the KIND
ever seen in the vicinity.
