The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-06-01
a WICHITAN IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. Ills, Nav 9S. 1870


To the Editor Of the Eagle
One month of the worlds fair has
passed and it is likely that another one
will go by before all Of the state build
ings are completed and the exhibits in
the main buildings are in shape. A per-
son visiting the fair now or at any time
during the month to come must not ex-
pect to find it complete, but they will
find enough to interest and satisfy them
without visiting the unfinished portions.
The Kansas state building will be COM
pleted in a week, al the least calculation.
1t is safe to say, however, that Kansas
will not be last in putting on the finish
ing touches.
The attendance after the first Of June
will be largely increased. The weather
and incompleteness of the fair has kept
many people away. The month Of
June will be the grand opening
month. The special days at the fair and
other attractions outside will draw g
large number of people to the city.
While races are now being held at the
Hawthorne race track the big spring
meeting of the Washington Park club
will commence June "a and this being
the date of the derby stakes. it is ex-
pected that all of Illinois and half of
Europe and America will be in the CITY.
The fair, the churches and all places of
amusement will then have all they can
attend TO. All those who visit Chicago
in June will find good roll of money in
the pocket very convenient. Money
works as many wonders here as it does
in Kansas.
Within the gates at the exposition it
enables one to see much that
he would otherwise miss One
must not forget that the inclosed
portion of the exposition covers 633 acres
of ground. and contains fifty-two expo
sitIon and state buildings, besides many
others of minor importance. To see all
and be satisfied one must spend reas-
enable amount of money, and in doing
SO, not forget that the attractions seen
here cost less than anywhere else, and
certainly much less than trip across the
oceans.

irving at the exposition, one should pur-
chase a guide book, for 10 or - cents.

ford to visit the fair without one.
