WINDSOR PARK, CHICAGO, HIS, May s.
At 1915 this morning the Vermont edi-
tors party arrived at Hotel Endeavor, 90
ing from Niagara Falls over the Chicago
and Grand Trunk railway. The train was
delayed about an hour at Port Huron by a
not box on one OF the Wagner sleepers.
Ihe Eudsavor is an immense hotsl but is
not quite ready Tor guests yet. The accom-
modations given are very satisfactory.
After late breakfast owing to the delay
in the arrival, most OF the party went TO
the fair grounds, which are within 10 min =
utes ride OF the hotel
The incomplete state of the exposition wa,
disappointment to all In fact the fair is
in >Ich an unfinished condition that it is
impossible for one to get an adequate idea
Of what it will be when everything is in
place. Only a few of the state buildings
have been completed
The little Vermont building belongs in
the other or unfinished list. DIR. Mcintyre
has 10 men at work on the building, how
ever, and expects that it will be nearing
completion by Wednesday at 10 a. m. when
tho dedication exercises take place.
The exhibits Will not all be in proper or
der for observation before June /, # they
nre then Fully four this of them are un-
boxed. No description can convey even a
faint idea of what the exposition is to be.
Ine buildings are spread over some 35J
acres OF land, and 10 make a careful nspec-
tiou of every exhibit ON June /, one would
have to walk $50 miles So it is clearly evi-
dent that there is more than can be seen in
q week, and on the whole perhaps it is well
that the press party came early. The
Sons OF Vermont in Chicago will give re-
repuoG to the press excursionists to.mo.eJw
evening.

all around. AT the request of tho member
of the democratic State committee tor this

office irrespective Of party. SO great wes the
interest IN the new scheme that nearly four
ffths of all the patrons attended the caucus,
which was presided over oy members OF tus

favorits.
