twenty-five years to find realization,
it having been first suggested in 1870.
During this quarter of century 1t
has been talked about, written about,
been the pet subject of royalty, states
men, artists, men of affairs and the
people generally. The promoters
have had herculean task before them.
National jealousies and idlosyncrasies
had to be overcome, thousand and
one objections arose, but finally every
difficulty was smoothed over and plans
and details agreed on. The beauty OF
the buildings as they are now rapidly
assuming form, the situation OF the
exposition and the enthusiasm shown
by the Nationalit1es interested, all
make promise that the exposition will
be in every way success.
It is no exaggeration to state that
the influence OF the Worlds Fair at
Chicago on the future expositions OF
similar nature IN Europe in an archl-
tectual sense can never be fully estl-
mated. OF the large expositions since
the Worlds Fair closed which have
taken place or are to take place in
Europe at future date-the Bor-
deaux, the Buda-Pesth, the Berlin, the
Malmo, the Swiss, and now the Stock
holm Exposition-all show in their
artistic and architectural planning a
certain indescribable influence from
the white dream city OF 1888, while
still adhering to each country's IN
dividual taste in art. In former
European expositions the rule was to
gather everything under one roof but
now they seem to recognize the Idea
that separate buildings, while inereas-
ing the preliminary expenses, add to
the beauty and attractiveness OF the ex-
positions and also increase the rev.
