People who intend To visit the Columbian
Exposition viii do we'll not to come here be-
fore May l5 at the earliest The exposition
will not be in good shape until the latter part
OF May, despite assertions to the conirary
made by the Chicago newspapers The pres,
reports, which are being sent ont from Chi
cago regarding the fair, are largely colored
by the element Of self-interest and desire to
secure the advent of profitable crowds Of
tourists at the earliest possible day.
IN strolllng through the exposition grounds
this week have been impressed by TIC facr
that the construction OF many OF the build
ings cannot be completed By May /, nor will
one-half OF the exhibits be In place on thai
day. A, the present time ihere l. nothing 10
be seen In any of the buildings except scat
tered piles of boxes containing some OF the
exhibits. About $50 carloads OF exhibit. arc
arriving daily, and ere long. It Is believed
that the greatest crush will occur Wheu from
sOO to coo carloads will arrIsc each DAY.
