HATS Off TO THE FAIR.
The GREAT BUILDING USED FOR THE
I@ OBLIGATORY CEREMONIES.
rhE MOST GLORIOUS SUCCESS

Four hundred years after the day on
\ which Columbus first saw land in the
New World-to wit, on Oct. aI, 1892
! lat least $4,000 people assembled
lin the great hall of the Manufactures
snd Liberal Arts building at Chicago
and the imposing ceremonies of natl
onal and official dedication took place.
I 1t was indeed memorable day, the
iproudest in the history of Chicago. 1t
was preceded by an Introductory day
of street parades and followed by !
day Of festivities and rejoicing.
The audience itself was historic.
President and cabinet, members Of the
supreme court and of both houses of
congress, governors, orators, generals
and statesmen, distinguished foreigners
of various ranks and eminent men
and women OF our own land were the
central figures. In the audience were
people of almost every race on earth,
especially from our own 100000
square miles OF territory. There was
indeed union of states. hearts and
hands, an ideally perfect representation
Of the greatest republic, the greatest
single nation the world has ever seen.
The orators of the occasion-the
genial Chauncey M. Depcw to deliver
I.he Columbian Grafton, the venerable
and eloquent William c. z. Brecken
ridge, of Kentucky, to give the dedica-
tory Grafton and trace the upbuilding
of the nation in which his own family
has held so distinguished place for
more than century. Poetry will lend
Is aid, music of the grandest sort
2:nlivened the occasion, and art in its
highest development added its ineffa-
)le charm. The rendition of appro-
priate selections from Haydn, Handel
md Beethoven by masters in
heir art, the songs for the occasion
25ere most fitting, and the chorus con
listed Of a galaxy of noted artists.
kB All this was but preliminary, how
IYver, to the actual opening of the
'air, which took place on Monday,
f5day I, 1893. The president of. the
81 Omitted States pressed an electric but

the main floor by 80 great staircases,
the flights Of which are 12 feet wide

extends through the mammoth building

width crosses it at right angles at ths
center.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1893-05-12

In the center of the building is the
enormous hall, 1875 feet 10 inches long
by $50 feet wide, free from columns,
and covered by roof formed by great
steel trusses, which rise to height Of
21O feet above the floor. This space Is
lighted by clearstory windows and by
the skylight area of the roof covering.
Around this hall, inclosing it ON every
side, is the exterior building, over 200
feet wide. This consists Of middle

high, with an aisle OH each side. The
aisle next the main hall is SO feet 8

PRESENT APPEARANCE OF THE
GROUNDS.

Auditor Ackerman having published
his report that $s,743, ,250 had been spent
down to Sept. |, the American people
naturally want to know what they havo
to show for their money.
The answer is based on the unanimous
testimony of all visitors that in extent.
beauty, artistic effect and general con-
venience jackson park is fast becoming
a wonder, and in 1893 will be the most
complete and agreeable exposition sta
the world has ever seen.
And that the people are interested in
the work is shown by the fact that
800, 1l0 have already been received in
entrance fees from those anxious to
look on the grounds even in their un-
completed state. Chicago does not for
get to add with proper local pride, and
as q delicate argument on much dis
cussed point, that most Of this was paid
by visitors who entered on Sunday.

WoMAN'S SPLENDID WORK.

1t is a matter of pride as we'll as con-
graduation that although work on the
exposition was begun at least year too
late, yet such energy and ability has
been shown that the most important
buildings will be complete even by the
day of dedication and every one before
the day of formal opening. 1t is matter
of especial qualification that the Wom-
ans building is SO far completed and
that the board of lady managers have
already done so much to make their part
of the exposition one Of its most attrac.
tive features.
The ladies board was informed, in re-
sponse to its invitation to the women Of
China to participate in the exposition,
that China would be glad to make a
fine exhibit if the wives of some of the

tended in this, ana in ali the main
buildings, to put curtains under the
skylights so as to screen the interior
from the sun during very hot weather.
Ventilation is provided for by louvres in
the sides of the clearstory roof.
Last, but far from least, and perhaps
most wonderful in the way of architec-
tural success, are the acoustics, which
are claimed to be so good that every per-
son in the hall will be able to hear the
orators. The total cost of the building
is put at ST 500, 900. OF the wonders Of
the roof of tensile steel and glass and
the great supporting trusses there is not
space to treat. Such is the wonderful
building in which the dedication cere-
monies are to be held.

HOW THE WORK HAS PROGRESSED.

INV tTVG WYNN E'(NS EhSohEoOICs
When the first move was made 100
men were in charge of the Columbian
exposition - ll5 for the government
and 45 for all others. 1t is scarcely
necessary to add that little or nothing
was done for quite awhile and great
deal Of valuable time was wasted. This
large body concentrated itself, so to
speak, about one-half, and beginning
was made. Later the number was re-
duced to eight on II side. and finally
most Of the responsibility was devolved
on four, with the energetic II. N. Higin-
botham at their head, and then work
went forward with hum.
The buildings are practically com.
plete. The last of the iron work on the
great Machinery hall was placed early
in September, and the principal carpen-
try work is in finishing the two spires.
The exterior covering is nearly all fin
ished on the north front Of the main
