worlds fairs are of rare occurrence,
and Chicago may never have another,
yet should she have dozen she could
have none which would bring her more
glory and honor than does this. her
grand celebration of the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus.
Just now the eyes of the entire world
are upon her, and her name is upon the
tongues of all nations and it is hardly
putting it too strong to assert that for
the time there is no greater city on
earth.
True, the 10th of October last, the day
on which the dedication took place, was
great day, but that was simplya fore
taste of the real grandeur that has
since been revealed. The fame of the
dedication was heralded throughout the
globe, and countless thousands have
read of the wonders witnessed on that
day, the mammoth audience, the mighty
buildings, etc, but that was only a
forerunner of the great event. Then
there was an air of incompleteness
about the whole thing, which has given
place to finished grace and beauty, and
untold features have been added maxi
ing of the whole perfect picture of
wonderland.
just about three years ago we We're
IN the throes of anxiety as to the out
come of the vote in congress on the
worlds fair city. For time it looked
as if it would be New York, but
through Chicago energy sufficient pres
sure was brought to bear to outweigh
New Yorll's claims and the prize became
ours.
Having gained it it seemed at first
like an elephant on our hands, but upon
a thorough siMng-up of the project it
soon resolved itself into an undertake
ing within the range of possibilities,
and being possible it soon became sim
ply matter of push, and, as the whole
world knows, there is plenty of push
in Chicago.
AS will doubtless be remembered
much time was lost in the selection of a
site suitable for so large an enterprise.
The west side and the city lake front
were talked of, all of which is such
recent history it is not necessary to give
particulars. Finally jackson park was
settled upon, and then the demand for
money arose. In the course of few
weeks thousands of Chicago's laboring
people came to the front and subscribed
for from one to ten or twenty shares OF
stock. The men of wealth came
down literally and soon the nucleus
of a large fund was in hand and
building operations were begun al
once. The first spring month of 1892
witnessed the breaking of ground, and
before the expiration of summer the
southern end of jackson park had be
come a forest of upright timbers. Work
men from all parts of the country
flocIed to the grounds and the Whit,
city grew apace.
In all kinds of weather and in the
face of all kinds of opposition the worl
went on. Labor troubles have from
the time the first spade was stuck int
the earth hindered the progress o.
building. Among the first laborers EN-
ployed were a lot of Italians, who, be
ing obnoxious to the Irish-Americans
were driven from their work by thos,
who wanted their places. Further diff
ficulties were encountered in procurin!
sufficient material for so many grea
buildings. Then the elements con
spired to hinder the progress of the I'm

They had a |, liday crowd to greet tn,
return of the late II nolulu's pitcher,
Willie Lucas, who t4ak the place OF

expected engagement with la grippe,
Fortunately for the comfort Of all par
ties cunCt rned, the band was not In

the game by its melodious strains and
drum deafenings Just at the wrong
time. As before, the hopes of tht
aud;enC were for Crescent victory,
excepting the kindergarten portion ii

Rams and their expressions and de
meanor were safe indicators Of points
in the game when decisions by Umpires
Whitney and Willis failed at times tt

CreScents and cir friends vert
doomed to disappointment. 1t was
Kamehameha day in the fullest sensl
of the term, and the Crescents realized
this at the end of the ninth inning,
when they retired without break il

ten runs, with an inning to spare.
Compared with Saturdays game,
both clubs put up better ball, but if tn,
fact has not yet dawned upon the
minds of the teams opposing Kameha

portant points to learn from them err
the tables can be turned, it is tim,
they recognized it, Efforts to rattle
by coachers will not make up for care,

Notwithstanding the one-sldednes
