America has three times the number
of exhibitors that France had at the
worlds fair in Chicago. She occupies
9,052 square feet, with her Al distinct
exhibition spaces, 33 in the main ex-
position grounds, IA in the Vincennes
annex, excluding the ground covered
by our eagle surrounding the national
paviol on the Quai d. Orsay.
American Enterprise.
American enterprise, however, is not
only shown in the size of her repre-
sentation, but also in the prepared
ness of her installation as compared
with the most of the other countries,
and it can safely be said that, but for
the dilatoriness of French workmen
and methods, the United States exhib-
it would have been exposed in their
show cases to Saturdays visitors. I'm
fortunately French hardness ham
pered all American efforts to rush mat
tiers. Thus in most of our show spaces
everything is prepared, the glass cases
are ready to receive exhibits, but the
American officials are afraid to display
the valuable articles to the likelihood
of damage by the clouds of dust aris-
ing from work on the adjacent embry-
onic installation.
Procession to Grounds.
President Loubet left the Elysee in
an open four-horse landau, escorted by
a detachment of cuirassiers. The pres
idential procession was composed of
five landaus, headed by the famous
outrider Montjarret. BY the side of
President Loubet sat NJ. Waldeck-Rous-
seau, the prime minister, and their
progress through the Champs Elysees
and across the Invalides bridge to the
Avenue La Motto Picquet was hailed
with continuous cheering from the
great crowds which were massed along
the route. On alighting from the car
riage the president was immediately
surrounded by the ministers. M. Mil
lerand, the minister of commerce,
stood at the entrance to receive him,
around NJ. Millerand being grouped
Commissioner General Picard and 9TH
err high exposition officials. President
Loubet shook hands with NJ Mile
rand and then turning to Picard said
he would be happy to sign his declara-
ton of the Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honor.
President Loubet then saluted the
inn
hall, where'a throng of more than 1000
persons formed a sea of human faces.
Declares Exposition Opened.
President Loubet, as he stood in the
presidential tribune, surrounded by
the members of the cabinet and his
household, opened the exposition with
the words:
81 declare the exposition of 1900
OPEN"
Thus was the Paris exposition, de-
signed to celebrate the worlds entry
into the new century, inaugurated, and
shouts of ''Vive Loubet,'' and ''Vive la
.republique" rose from his 1000 hear
air. The crowds outside the hall took
up the cheering ana the exposition
was open.
Glorious weather favored the open
ing of the exposition to the general
public Sunday. and immense crowds
focked into the grounds. The area of
the exhibition, however, is so great
that nowhere was. there any crush.
