The Fair at St. Louis Opens.

The Fair at St. LOUIS Opens'
This is the day set for the formal
onening of the great exposition at St.
Louis which is to celebrate the CEN
tannial of the purchase of the Louisiana
territory by President jefferson. The
great thing for this country, an act of
expansion and imperialism" for which
Jefferson is most gratefully remem-
bered by the American people, and its
centennial promises to be fittingly
conmemorated by the greatest inter-
national exposition which the world
has ever known. Although the formal
opening comes today, In accordance
with arrangements made many months
ago, it does not mean that the throng of
visitors to the gates of the exposition
grounds will at once begin. On the
remains tc be done to complete many
of the buildings and get them in condi-
ton for the installation of the various
exhibits and attractions.
There is always a lot of unavoidable
delay in such matters, but the eXposi-
ton authorities have determined to
have the formal opening upon the time
announced. and the remaining work OF
preparation will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. 1t will yet be some weeks
before the attendance amounts to any
thing. and several months before the
crowds reach their maximum. In fact
the greatest crowds will probably be
those which will visit st. Louis early III
the fall after the summers worst neat
is over and when the excursion busl-
ness begins to boom.
The formal opening will be celebrated
with all the pomp that our republican
manners permit. Tn" Secretary OF War
will represent the President; TIE senate
and the House of Representatives will
have committees present; there Will be
governors of states ard commissioners
of foreign nations whose citizens are
exhibitors at the fair; military guards
of honor will attend the chief person.

by the city of st. Louis by foreign
countries and by private enterprises; SO
no doubt remains that, in its extent and
variety, this exposition will obscure all
earlier efforts. Every manifestation of
human activity in all parts of the world
will be shown, and not the least inter-
estng feature will be comparisons that
may ue made between the results of
the processes attained in 1893, when the
Chicago fair was opened, and those now
available. The Pike promises to
eclipse the famous Midway Plaisance,
and this at least is said to be ready for
