Columbian Letter No. 1. Chicago, April 29,1893. Monday May Ist was the opening of the World’s Columbian Exposition. .Two years have witnessed the preliminary preparations—selection of site, survey thereof, platting Into lots, boulevards, avenues, streets, walks, lanes, and the creation of the White City, the greatest and most beautiful aggregation of architectural triumph the world has ever known. The site is six hundred and thirty-three acres, easily accessible, and bordering on Lake Michigan, and is now transformed into a magnificent park. One hundred and fifty buildings, great and small, have been erected, and ranging from the hunters log cabin to the mammoth Manufactures’ Building,covering thirty and one-half acres, a structure in size larger than any roofed building ever before built since time began. The Exposition buildings altogether cover more than two hundred acres, and the floor space thereof is fifty acres larger in area. The architecture, decorations and adornments of these buildings, the larger ones, twenty in number, represent the best work of the greatest living artists, and they are now the admiration of the world, and are themselves the evidence, the material evidence, of the wonderful achievements of our modern civilization. They are the best products of human thought, endeavor and effort. The other one hundred and thirty structures are marvels of architectural beauty and aptitude for the uses to which devoted. The several States and Territories of the Union, have each singly, or two conjointly, erected their own buildings, and foreign countries have not been in the background in this regard. Eigbty-eight foreign countries will participate in the Exposition. Heretofore at the World’s Fairs of the past, many of these were not represented, and such as were will far surpass all their previous representations at international exhibitions. It is difficult, almost impossible, to con. ceive the extent of the preparation for the World’s Columbian Exposition. The public-spirited citizens of Chicago contributed in the first instance $6,000,000. The city of Chicago issued its bonds for $5,000,000.

The Government of the United States gave 35,500,000. For their own exhibit the several States and Territories have made direct appropriations aggregating $5,000,000. And foreign countries have voted $7,000,000. Making a grand aggregate of $35,000,000. And in addition the amount received through private sources for Exposition purposes is very great. The Giant City of the West, scarcely sixty years old, is the seat and site of a World’s Fair such as the old and effete cities of Europe never dreamed of. Then the exhibits are estimated to aggregate in value—and it is a conservative estimate—Five Hundred Millions of Dollars! Here great are the prospects and promises for mankind in the futurel One may not travel beyond the seas to see European civilization, or Asiatic decline, of African destitution and darkness, or Australasian youth and vigor. One need not visit Mexico, or Central and South American countries or the Islands of the Seas Here in Chicago, the cosmopolitan city, may be seen the people of the earth, out of every tribe, and family, and nation, and race. The C. P.|A. would advise, that all who can, come to Chicago some time during the six months of the Exposition. Chicago has made preparations not only for the great Exposition commensurate with its importance, but also preparations for the millions of men and women who may find opportunity, time and leisure to personally visit it. The CP. A., in a series of weekly letters running through six months, proposes to keep the readers of the Democrat informed, and in touch with this marvel of man’s unrivaled endeavor and effort—The World’s Columbian Exposition. Throughout the whole world science and art have been industriously at work putting forth with great energy every effort to display in the magnificent palaces of the White City their best and greatest achievements, and who can doubt the successful issue or the great undertaking? The exhibit is one no man should omit to see, and the American who neglects the opportunity fails to appreciate the growth, and greatness, and grandeur of the Nev? World, the discovery of which, made by the great Admiral, whose ships and supplies were the gracious gifts of Ferdinand and Isabella of Castle and Aragon, is by this Exposition emphasized in the celebration of its Quadro-Centennial. Models of the ships in which Columbus sailed the seas four hundred years ago will attract the visitors. The Duke of VeregHa, the descendant of the discoverer, as the nation’s guest, will honor the opening, and with him will travel from the capital city of the country, on the Potomac, to the city of Chicago, on the lake. His Excellency, Grover Cleveland, the President of the United States. The heads of the Departments, the Chief Justice of the United States and his Associates, the Generals commanding the Army, the Admirals of the Navy, the Governors of the forty and four States of the Union, the Senators and Members, and the silve-tong-ued orators of the East and West will honor the event by their presence, and the beauty of modest womanhood, from every clime and country, will add to the gracious occasion. Whatever mankind has achieved in the centuries of the past, in Letters, Science, Art, Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Mechanism, by brain and handiwork.

will here be exhibited, together with the most perfect and complete results of various processes of arts and industries, marking the progress made and the advancement attained in these last days of the Nineteenth Century, It will be our pleasure and purpose Io critically examine and carefully note i) all, and in the course of these Colum. bian letters to give it all t 6 the readers of the Democrat. \ ...

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN PRIKEM TO THE THREE BEST OUESSES. A novel idea, and one putting every previous guessing contest in tho shade, will be a feature of Sells Brothers’ Circus this year. Whoever' makes the nearest guess of tho combined weight of the huge pair of bippopottami will receive a cash prize of five thousand dollard; to the second best guess three thousand dollars, and to the third best guess two thousand dollars. As Sells Brothers always carry <J!it every promise they make, and have never been accused of fraudulent advertising, the very announcement that they propose to do this will be accepted as a foregone conclusion and will be unquestioned. Every visitor to their show this year will lie permitted to participate in the guessing contest free. These huge animals have grown so large that it is extremely difficult to transport them, and this will be their last traveling tour. The proposed National Zoological Garden that will open in Washington next year will be the future home of these celebrated animals. Sells Brothers have offered to donate them to this worthy institute. As they are valued at one hundred thousand dollars, this gift will be appreciated. Decatur, Friday, May 19th. LOUIS O.
