plans for the development of the Elk

The selection of site for the
great buildings of the Fair was the
first great question for the board OF
directors after organization. Dozens
of sites were offered or proposed, the

on Feb. %, 1890, and the subsequent
act Of April IS, 1890, prescribing
what the Fair was to be-
The Struggle Tor the Prize.
Who first expressed the idea of
holding worlds fair in commemora-
ton Of Columbus discovery is d ques
ton hard to decide. A number or
men claim that distinction. The
movement that resulted in the loca-
ton of the Fair in Chicago began
with the newspapers. AS carly as
June, 1889, they tested the sentiment
of the members of Congress, and In
August made a formal bid. Mean
time mass meetingS were held, and
Mayor Cregier had appointed citizens
committees that adopted resolutions
from which the following motto was
taken: "rhc men who have helped
build Chicago want the Fair, and,
having Just and wcll-sustained
claim. they mean to have it"
A temporary organization was
formed. and Chicago citizens went
Systematically to work to secure
the prize. "Chicago" meetings were
held all over the Northwest, and
every one who could help before Con-
gress was pressed into service. The
idea then held Of the ultimate mag
nitudc of the enterprise is seen in
the fact that citizens went to work
to secure IS, 900, 600 in subscriptions
with which to satisfy Congress that
Chicago could build the Fair. This
amount and more was raised among
citizens, and the city government
afterward added IS, 900, goo more.
The two amounts together are less
than half the actual cost of the En-
position.
There were many claimants for the
Exposition prize, but when the Chi
cago delegation went to Washington
to fight the battle before Congress
they found that ONLY three other
cities were formidable rivals. These

were New York, Washington and ST.
Louis, and the fight soon became SO
hot that the latter two dropped out.
The New York forces were marshaled
by Chauncey NJ. Depew, while the
Chicago camp included such men as
Thomas b. Bryan, Lyman j. cage,
r. w. Peck, Mayor Cregier, +. t.
.Teffery. Edwin Walker and others,
under command Of Col. George II.
Davis, now the Director General, or

100 much praise cannot be said. Chi
cago was also ably assisted by Vice
President Adlai +. Stevenson,
Col. James A. Mckenzie of Ken
t,lcky, some of the Illinois Congress
sjonal delegation and others. These
men worked night and day until the
battle was ended on Feb. %, 1890,
when Congress, by Joint resolution,
located the Fair in Chicago.

Jackson Park, with Midway Plais-
ance and Washington Park added for
the overflow. 1t was also decided to
have one permanent building down
town as a memorial of the Exposition
the fine arts building, now nearly
finished on the Lake Front. This
building is to be used for the meet
ings of the Worlds Congress AuXil-
larry during the Fair and will after
ward pass into tie hands of the Art
Institute trustees. The Worlds
Fair gave 5000, 600 towards its con-
structon, the other $500, 600 being
realized from subscriptions and the
sale of the old Art Institute Build

Too Many G oks.
1t was not long after the organiZa-
tion of the local and national boards
that serious disputes about their rela-
tive powers and authority arose.
There were too many men in the
management, and this was soon rec
OgnZed. 1t was next to impossible
to manage the Fair by committees, as
at first proposed. At a conference
between the two bodies it was de-
cided to shut off all chance of serious
trouble by the organization of a
board Of reference and control, COM
posed of eight members from the To-
cal directory and eight from the ma
tiOnal commission, with power to
settle all disputes. This was done,
but the board was afterward practi-
cally replaced by a council Of four
members, who for the last year have
directed the operations of the Fair

Stimulating FOREIGN Int crest.
When the arrangements for the
buildings and the conduct of the de-
partments had been completed, much
attention was paid to foreign governs
ment participation, especially after
England, Germany and France had
accepted the invitation. A com
mission consisting of Judge Will
.am Lindsay. now United States
Senator from Kentucky; Commits
sioner A. c. Bullock, of Connecticut:
+. w. Peck, Benjamin Butterworth
and Major Handy was sent to Europe
to stimulate the interest in the Elk
position.
The total cost of the Exposition is
something that no one is as yet able
to accurately calculate. The Expo
sition Company itself has spent in
construction and preparation about
SO, 900, 900. and So, 600, 900 more will
be required for administration. 1t
has been estimated that the total
expenditure by all parties participate
ing in the fair will not be less than
500, 900, 900.
The States of the Union have con-
tributed the following amounts for
their buildings and displays on the
