Harper 8: Brothers the author of this work visited Chicago in the summer of 1891 and studied the plans and aims of those who were in charge of the World's Columbian Exposition. He be came convinced that the Fair was almost certain to be of unparalleled magnificence and interest and more nearly universal in character than any that has ever been held. He was permitted to make public this impression in an article in harper's magazine which had the merit of ap pearing when such an announcement - especially in a New York publication - was singularly timely. A large portion of the public, to some extent shocked by the fail ure of the Government to order the Fair held in New York, had been inclined to disparage the undertaking.
