V you are intent On seeing Just what

not discourage you, for that was one of
the necessities of such presentation as
the people of America and OF Chicago
have made. The world had been invited
and there must have been provided rn0m
for the world TO compete. The nlminis-
tratiou building Is the handsomost: The
manufactures and liberal arts building
the largest; the nrt building the most
delicately beautiful. but all are stately:
none apparently massive. and all involve
proportions that are almost without
parallel On this hemisphere. So the
Tribune would say NJ the very outset,

Take q good lonk from all sides Of Tho
administration building, across the lagoon

the assertion that there are no extras
within the grounds that anyone must

any Of them. There are no side-shows
