Greatest Show the World Ever Saw.

That the fair as an exhibition is bound to be a success is admitted even by its greatest enemies. Men and newspapers that have decried it for two years and predicted a great and humiliating failure are ready now to concede that Chicago has done more it promised to do, and that if the people of the country do not respond and go and get the benefit of the exhibition they will lose a sight of the greatest aggregation known to modern civilization. That the world’s fair will deserve tnis distinction when it is fully under way is only stating a plain fact. The outlay of $33,250,000 in preparation would compel the greatest show the world ever saw unless there had been shameful waste. Of the latter there seems to have been very little. Probably no previous fair can show less; while the $16,000,000 worth of exhibits, making an aggregate expenditure of $50,000,000, insures an exhibition surpassing anything of the kind recorded by history.—Philadelphia Press.
