SITE FOR THE EXPOSITION. 
A beautiful and suitable site has been selected for the 
Exposition, containing fully 1,000 acres, charmingly sit- 
uated on the shore of Lake Michigan. 
Jackson park, in the southern section of the city, has been 
selected as the site for the main Exposition; and the Midway 
Plaisance and Washington park, adjoining Jackson park, as 
reserves for possible other parts. Upon these parks there 
had already been expended nearly $4,000,000 in improvements, 
prior to their being selected as the Exposition site. 
It is intended to use Jackson park, in its entirety, for Ex- 
position purposes, leaving the improved parts, as much as 
possible, in their present condition, while the unimproved 
parts will be laid out in a manner appropriate to the whole 
plan of buildings. : 
The work of preparing the grounds for the Exposition is 
now nearing completion, and leading architects, selected for 
the purpose, are superintending the erection of the buildings. 
Ground was broken on the 27th of January, 1891. 
Work on the buildings is well advanced and their construc- 
tion will be pushed so as to secure, beyond peradventure, their 
completion in ample time for the needs of the Exposition,
