booked for 1900 With the charscter-

their exposition a great success, and in

the project, The Washiogton Legis-

daunted by the frequency of * world’s’
fairs in the United States, the pro-

and iuterpationsl importance. It is
proposed to hold the exposition on the

permavent character and after the
ciose of the exposition become the
property of the university, to be used
as recitation rooms and dormitories.
