The total space occupied by Great Brit
ain.and the colonies at Chicago will in al
probability be more than 800, 600 square
feet, exceeding the amount occupied in
Paris in 1873, viz, 800, 900 square feet,
the largest space ever before filled
bv the British section at any exhibition
In Vienna 10000 square feet were occu-
pied, at Philadelphia 1875 700, at Paris, in
1889. 233.ooo. At Paris in 1889, Belgium
occupied l2o, 900, the United States 49,.
600 square feet. No other country had
more than 65 900. of the total area allotted
to Great Britain and the colonies at the
Chicago Exhibition it is probable that Grea,
Britain alone viii occupy about 500, 900
squsSe feet, while the remaining 200 900 will
be occupied by contributions from the Brit
ish colonies, the great countries which,
practically independent and self-governing
lend. on such an occasion As the present, so
much strength to the Empire, and enable it
to hold position that without such aid it
could never pretend to occupy. This is An
advantage which no other country possess
es. and one Of which we Britons may surely
with come justice be proud. At Paris in
1882 the colonies and India only took up
81, 900 square feet Of the total area of $780,
600. At Philadelphia the proportion was
very much larger, and the colonies seem to
have occupied third Of the whole space.
