Chicago, Oct 21-New-York paid tribute -
Chicago and the gories of the White City to-
day. Thousands of the best citizens from Man.
haitian Island came to the Fair to pay their
homage Of admira ticn without stint. The for.
NAL recognition of Chcago's greatness and the
achievement within the boundary OF Jackson
Park was rendered by the municipal delegation
from the metropolis Of the New World, at the
head of which Mayor Gilroy. Fairer skies
and more pleasant temperature could not have
been furnished to order. There was not even
the chronic Chicago lake wind to remind New
Workers that the Worlds Fair City and the
Windy City were one and the same New-Yorks
artistically decorated building which is so
unique in it's architectural design, was the point
to which the 10000 New-Yorkers, the estimated
number of visitors made their way soon
as they entered the grounds this morning.
Lines of Columbian guards were needed at the
entrance to keep the ingoing and outgoing pro.
cesson Of Cothamites from running into each
other.
The same measures were necessary In all
parts of the beautiful building. particularly
around the registers and places where the Man.
haitian Day badges were being attributed py
thousands. Everybody who asked for badge
said he or she either lived In New-York City
or had lived there, their parents were born
there. Several hundred dollars worth or CUT
flowers had been purchased for the adornmens
OF the interior, but the visitors seemed to
think they had been scattered through
the building in vases for them to take away.
The fower-snatching movement quickly became
general and by 10 o'clock only the flowers which
were out Of reach remained undisturbed. The
visitors not all from New-York however in
vaded the private offices, and, after gettinS
badges proceeded to help themselves to the
flowers. One woman approached the desk OK
