Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 October 1893 — WILL END OCTOBER 31. [ARTICLE]

WILL END OCTOBER 31.

The World's Fair Cannot Be Continued Through November. There will be neither a world’s fair nor an American fair in Jackson Park next summer. The exposition will not be prolonged another year. All doubt was settled about it at a meeting between the members of the demolition committee of tho exposition and the South Park board of commissioners. They agreed that the fair should officially end October 30. Tho members of tho South Pa'rk board announced that they would insist upon the exposition company carrying out the terms of tho Ordinance. These are that the park commissioners take charge of the grounds Jan. 1,18 M. The directors are given until May lof tho same year to clear off the State and foreign buildings in tho north end of the park and until May 1, 1895, to remove tho main structures on tho south end of the grounds. Tho art gallery is the only structure likely to bo left intact, and no decision as to this has I been reached.
