THR FAIR IS FINISHED. SPLENDOR OF THE “WHITE "TY" AS COMPLETED, Best Points From Which to Get a General View of the Buildings— Plaster Figures and Columns That Seem to Have Been Sculptured For All Time. The White City, which Americans have spent nearly $40,000,000 in building, is come plete in all but a few minor details, says a Chicago dispateh to the New York World, No such temporary home for the arts and sciences and the products of all the Nations was ever erected before, Nor is it probable that its like will be created again soon. It is something that all Americans can view with pride, for the spirit and form of the olassio age have been reproduced on the soil of the youngest of the Nations, Itis a triumph of art as well as of anterprise It is no injury to the Fair that its sur- roundings are unattractive, By any of the land routes the visitor approaches it through monotonous and common place suburbs or along 8 dreary mass of rallroad tracks, It renders the transformation more abrupt and more effective when he passes through the tes and enters the grounds, He has passed ym dark and smoky Chicago, with its dirty streets and begrimed sky scrapers, into a place where nearly all the buildings are pure white or cream tinted, He is in an enclosure two miles long and about a half mile broad, Old Tyre, one of the most powerful cities of the ancient world, stood on an island smaller than this enclosure, and the whole popula tion of Athens, in its glory under Pericles, could have been seated comfortably in the Manufactures Building, all at the same time, Chicago's 1,500,000 people would not fill the park. There are about a hundred large buildings on the grounds, and the whole place is laid off into streets and courts just like a real y. | The first impression the visitor receives as he sees the completed Fair is that mensity, Heo might have had the same feel- ing, but more indefinite, had he been here on the opening day. But then thers was so much debris and 80 much was not finished that half the Fair was hidden. Now he see it as its builders wish it to be seen.

It i= the space between the Administration Building on the east snd the Peristyle on the west, with the Manufao- tures Building and the Agricultural Jullding occupying most of the northern and south- ern sides, respectively, The water curves a grand basin in the center, Fith the MacMonnies fountain at the head of the basin, the Peristyle at the foot, green turf and flowers along the sides and the huge white building further finest artificial view that The effect is helghtoned ooversd with launches filled with people one of these boats the buildings appear to be of solid marble, as enduring as the Parthenon. The flgures that erowh the Peristyle seem to have been seulp- tured for all time, and the gigantic horses and bulls that stand on the ping of the basin look as if they would remain there for- ever The most coionsad of zl] the statury at the Falr is French's {deal representation of the Republic, This statue is sixty feet high and stands on an imposing pedestal in the southerly basin of the lagoon, The most imposing view of the Pair from the w when gondolas and Seen from the basin is the ground is probably that of the grand | basin looking from the Administration Build fng up to the Colonnade.

It was all raised that a Nation might have a playground for a six months’ holiday, When the people have had their summer's revel the white bulldings will disappear. Everything will vanish, and the place wheres it stood will be a park again, This Is the Fair. Despite all the bicker. ings and petty quarrels that ocourred during the first month of its existence, the result has been achieved, On soll that two or three generations » was a bit of the universal wilderness of the Northwest, a Falr has been created with which none other that has gon before it can be compared, AT THR NTATR ROILDINGS.
