New York in Chicago.

| There Ia reason TO believe that New YORK
will make good exhibit OF her citizenship

will be Saturday next. Mayor GILRoY is

interest OF our people In the day: the
committee which he has appointed is CO.

BILE: our commercial exchanges and hun

lending their assistance: a good fund to
cover incidental expenses has been raised:
the railroads have reduced their fares to a
very low figure: and there is a widespread
desire in the city for the success Of Man
haitian Day.
We are ready to pay merited compli-
ment to Chicago; we should like to do our
part in adding to the triumphs Of the Co.
lumbar Exposition we wish to give new
proof to our Western brethren that New
York stands ready to unite with them.
heart and hand. in promoting the glory OF
our country. Chicago and New York con-

be proud.

pie on the grand excursion. to the advan-
tage OF both cities. II the railroads were able
to carry them there In the course Of the
next four days. Thus New York would
know Chicago the better. while Chicago
would get glimpse OF New York. which.
we must trust, would not be an unaccept-
able glimpse.
It must be borne in mind. in case the
number OF New York visitors to Chicago
next Saturday shall be less than might
be expected. that tens OF thousands Of
New Workers. have already made q trip
to Chicago this year for the purpose of
examining and enjoying the Exposition.
Every day since the opening OF 1t in
May. our citizens have been going out
there and have come back with salts
factory reports. 1t cannot be supposed
that these people will feel able to go
out again, either for pleasure or for instruc-
ton. either for the glory OF New York or as
n compliment to Chicago. Nevertheless we
guess that the West-bound travellers
from New York will keep the three great
railroad companies pretty busy from this
time till next Friday. Give us good
weather and safe convoy through the week,
and Chicago will learn on Manhattan Day
that she has a genuine friend in New York.
All aboard for Chicago! Hurrah for the
Columbian Exposition! Great is the city;
great the Exposition.
We are sure that Mayor GILRoY will con-
tinue to strive for the success OF Man
haitian Day with all his energy. We are
sure that the committee will grow more
enthusiastic every day. We are sure that
the number OF our citizens who take an in
terest In it will daily Increase. We are sure
that all the funds needed will be raised.
Then what Is to hinder New York from fall
ing into the embrace OF Chicago? Fellow
citizens: New York expects every man to
do his duty in 80 far as he can The women.
too! Where the men are. there the women
will surely be.
