Th: gates of Jackson park were openad on Monday last to the general public and the world’s fair now passed into history. Its magnificent propor ation, its brilliant and varied display, its educational advantages, its almost anlimited resource for entertainment and pleasure, its immense multitudes —perhaps unparalleled in the history of the world—have all gone, and one feels their loss like the loss of a friend. Large crowds of people visited the { grounds and builamgs o Monday to' take their final view of what stands now like a ruined.castle deserted and | desolate. The world’s fair was in its vastness of construetion and its general completeness in detailea propor tion a perpetual surprise to the visitor and one can not help feeling as he looks upon the colossal ruins -a sense of deep regret that its glory has passed away. And many a person in this season of general (inancial depression will temper their sorrow at disap pointed hopes and frustrated caleulations by those happy reflections which cling around their visit to Jackson park. And now in looking at it we remember its virtues with gratitude and quietly draw the veil over those features of it which in the DMidway ‘ Plaisance grieved the truly good or shocked the sensibilities of the fastidious.
