THE GLORIEs OF CHICAGO.
We of New-York are proud to find ourselves
to-day within the confines of this mighty city Of
the Northwest, city in which busy thoughts
and vivid images crowd the mind, In whlch no
man shapes himself betines to idleness a city
which Is not a sepulchre Of buried ages. but the
birthplace of modern IDEAS city which is not
lightened by the smiles Of dying empires, but by
the CLEAN Of future glories. Our two cities were
contestants for the Exposition Chicago fairly won
the prize To-day the people OF New-York come
TO greet you only through their representatives.
Sut they come themselves, with hearts untouched
by jealousy with souls unmoved by rivalry they
cry out to you with the acclaim, God bless
Chicago. God speed the Fair"
