Ii is also not 20 well known that 100, ,0oJ
people make no show At all in these
grounds. that three days out Of four there
is 10 jam or crowding anywhere and that
even on days Of special professions. with
nearly a0,o0 people In the enclosure,
there are st.h vast sections where one
may walk in shaded solitude by still
waters and lie down on green grass and
enjoy the quiet Of country churehyard
Even ca the main walks and most pleas
ant promenades, when 10000 people are
ia the place, the crowd seems less than in
New York 5 central park on any pleasant
afternoon But we are promised some
displays ere long which will crowd TIE
main walks and il the hotel men tell us
the truth about ths letters they are get
ting, the farmers will begin to come in
force this week.
Day after tomorrow Great Britain pro-
poses to spread herself all over the ground
As NO continuous avenue there Is big
enough for the purpose the grea, process
sion will be down town in the afternoon.
Every county of Great Britain and Ireland
and every province of every British de-
peudency viii have its representatives in
that parade. and 1t is quite wonderful to
observe how far this will draw upon
the people OF the plaisanee. The Soudan-
ese, Egyptians, Bedouins and several sorts
of people from India will be in it. The
much talked Of Rajah Rajsgan, of kapur-
thala. will ride in the hue as marshal of
the Indian division and will be the Great
Mogul Of the show. IL will undoubtedly
be great, glorious and comprehensiyely
British affair
Today the Scotch have their parade on
the grounds and this will be a very Scotch
week throughout. Today also begins the
great congress Of Jurisprudence and law
reform, which is to sit five days, in which
all the great and fundamental questions
OF law will be discussed by the worlds
greatest jurists. Among those who are
Ia deliver important addresses are the
Right Hon. Sir Richard Webster, of Lon
don, the Right Hon. Sir Charles Pearson,
OF Edinburgh; Professor Michael Revon,
Of Toxic, Japan; Dr. Emily kempen, OF
Switzerland; Professor Torres Campas, of
Granada, Spain; Miss Cornelia Sorabji, of
Bombay. and many other law writers
from all parts of the world.
Intending visitors may now feel sure
that the published programme will be fol-
lowed strictly from this on, the few pre-
yious failures having been due TO causes
row removed. A few other facts should
be noted for their guidance: First, that
iife limb and property are probably safer
in Chicago row than they ever were be-
fore and that although charges are a little
higher than the average in American
rites, the difference is but trifiing Incl
lentally I may add that there Is no preiu-
dice on account Of race, location or any
thing else on the fair ground, though
] gricve 10 observe that there is some in
the city on account Of locality. Twill not
Ray what it is, hut will merely hint that
h my talks down town always refer to
myself as 'an Indiana man." ignoring my
recent residence in Gotham, and as to
the New York sun,
