ent articles in the next room. On going out

Pettyjohn wa therefore put off, and he,
through his lawyer, R. L. Sutler of Louis

Like all suits against corporation', the on so

SIDE SHOW FOR TIIE FAIR
A CHICAGO SYNDICATE AFTER
THE COLCSsEOM.
They Want to Erect it in the Windy
City aa an Inducement to People to
Visit tbe Fair—A Director in the
Scheme Dst& ls tbe Plane—Engineers
Say it Can be Done—Artists and
Art Lovers Protest Against the Pro
posed Desecration.
From th* flew York Sun.
Chicaqo, May 14.—T0 bring the Colos
seum at Rome to Chicago: That is the
plan which Dr. John Aitken, a retired
physician of great wealth, living at 3,921
Prairie avenue, has prepared and submitted
to tbe board of reference and control of tbe
Columbian fair commissioners, which will
consider it at its next meeting. And be
has not submitted it lu jest, either. He has
worked out bis plan to infinite detail, has
prepared figures to prove the feasibihty ot
bis idea, and, backed by a syndicate of
capitalists representing money eneugh to
buy the United States treasury before a re
publican congress bad gutted it, be will ap
pear before the commissioners and explain
his plan.
A Sun reporter saw Dr. Aitken at his
home this evening, when the doctor ex
plained at some length his idea and tbe way
in which he would carry it out.
“At first sight the idea seems ridiculous,”
said the doctor; “but when 1 have shown
you some figures I think you’ll agree with
tne that it is feasible.
“I have been to every word’s fair since
that of 1851, and have studied tbe subject
thoroughly, so that I think I am better pre
pared to speak on the matter than any
other man iu Chicago. I have interested a
number of gentlemen in the matter, and wo
have formed a syndicate to bring the Colos
seum to this oouutry—uuder certain condi
tions, of course. I am not at liberty to
divulge the names of my associates as yet.
Amo ig,them are many well-known Chica
goans—indeed, a man known for his hospi
tality to strangers in our city is one, at.d
anotner is a gentlemen who has visited the
far east in a high official capacity, both of
these gentlemen being also connected with
the management of the fair—a well-known
merchant of this city, some of the Philadel
phia capitalists, and some of the foreigners
who have invested so much money in this
country. Ex-Congressman Lawier is also
with us. Further than that I do
not care to say, except that my
friends represent more than $200,000-
000, and thnt arrangements are being
made to incorporate the syndicate under
tbe laws of New Jersey. The corporate
name will be the ( hicago Roman Colos
seum Company. We apply for corporation
in New Jersey merely because the corpora
tion laws of that state are more favorable
than those of Illinois. If we had had more
time we should have had the Illinois legisla
ture pass a special act for us. Perhaps that
may come later.
“Now as to the plan. We shall propose
to tho commissioners to set aside for us in
Jackson park, in a separate Inclosure, a
space of ten acres. Within that we propose
to ereot the Colosseum, and, if a sufficient
strip of land can be obtained, to erect a
section of the Appian Way. Just think,”
added the doctor, interrupting himself, “of
the advantage to every one who
visits the fair, of seeing these two peerless
monuments of antiquity, the Appian
Way and the Colosseum—storied relics of
the pa-t, the contemplation ot which is a
liberal education. So greatly, indeed, have
the educational possibilities of our plan im
pressed themselves on some well-known
philanthropists that some have taken stock
iu our company for that cause alone— Col.
Shepard of New York, the Rev. Dr. Mal
lory of New York, the Rev. Dr. Talmage.
They understand what a power for good
the Colosseum will bo in Chicago.
“The Appian Way—assuming it to be built
—will be managed as a turnpike, though it
might be opened on Sundays aud holidays
free of charge. The Colosseum itself, within
its own enclosure, would be reached only on
payment of a small entrance fee. Of
course, the exterior of the Colosseum could
be seen and studied without charge. Now,
nearly 17,000,004 persons visited tho Paris
exhibition in 1878, where there was no es
pecial feature. In 1889 more than 39,000,-
000 persms visited the exposition, and
of these enough ascended the Eiffel tower
to bring in $1,500,000 to the com
pany. Since that exhibition closed the
tower has been maintained, and the stock
holders in the Eiffel company are entirely
satisfied with their dividends. Furthermore,
a similar tower is being built in London,
although there is no exhibition there. Thus
you see that a good thing is a good thing
wherever it iR, and that a feature at a
world’s fait- helps the fair as well as helps
itself. With our Colosseum in running
order we estimate tha: not less than 31,000,-
000 persons will enter the fair and that fully
17,000,000 will vi*it the Colosseum grounds.
“The action of the Eiffel tower directors
in charging extra for admittance to the
tower affords us a precedent for doing the
same thing here. Our charge for entrance
would be small, say 10 cents; that would
a low tbe visitor to wander at will through
the ground floor of the vast building; to
reach the upper stories further small fees
will be paid. Then we shall apply to the
directors to bold the opening ceremonies in
tho Colosseum; we shall hold races
and festivals therein—on the state days tiie
great oval will form a superb place of meet
ing for the visitors from each state -and it
is possible that we may make arrangements
with Buffalo Bill, the Hon. William F. Cody
Dr. Aitken lay back in his chair, and
gaze 1 at the reporter with sparkling eyes.
"Buffalo Bill in the Colosseum!” he said.
“Just think of that—-just think of that!
Doesn’t that idea cast the Eiffel tower into
the shade!
’’Well, to continue: Evon with the low
rates of admission we estimate that we
shall take in ft!,500,000 in the six months
duriog which the fair is to tie open; that is,
about 1 per cent, a month on a capital of
$50,000,000. Then we don't close when the
fair end. We keep open as long as we
choose, and move from place to place—to
New York, London, Baris—anywhere, in
fact, that we desire.
"Now, to the mechanical and < ngineer
ing difficulties to be overcome. The Coloe
seurn—the Circus Maximus, it is oalled
classically—is feet io“g by SJB feet wide,
covering an area of 328,41 ti square feet, or
atiout 7’|,' acres. It is four storios iu hight.
As you know, it is not entire, much of it
having been removed to te used in building
modern Rome. In fact, it is only receutly
that the spoliation of the great building was
stopped—only since the accession of Vlotor
Emanuel. Go about live-ninths of the
original building still remains, and that
part our proposition is to erect in
this city. At the office of our com
pany, in the new Masonic temple,
we have a collection of photographs
of all parts of the Colosseum, taken bv day
light. and, where that was not available, by
eleotrio light. These are all made to scale.
Wo have also a complete model of the
Colosseum on a scale of six feet to the inch
—a wonderful model, by the way, when
you consider that when a scale of ten or
twelve fei't to the inch is usual. That is
merely the beginning. In Rome at the
E resent time is n well known engineer and
ridgo builder of this city, acting for us,
who will take charge of the w< rk
there—that la, take down the build
ing, and then superintend tha
eri otio i of it here. Wo hove
divided the building into twelve sections,
and for each section we shall ask t -r sep
arate bids for the removal. Wo shall invite
bids for all large llrnia engaged in reni ivitig
buildings, lajh la this city and elsewhere:
there are a number of euch ftr.ua hare attd
In New York, wbioh can taka down any

here on chartered steamers. We shall
cuarter only one way, from Ostia to Port
land. Me., thence by rail; or to Montreal,
and thence by boat and rail. Contracts
will be made of course.
“As to the interior; with tbe facing of
the interior, the seatj, etc., the same ar
rangements will be made: but with tbe
galleries, ebamten, dungeons, etc., a
different plan will be followed. While the
building is faced with marble, it is built of
brick, and to transport each brick separ
ately would be impossible. Therefore, as
each section of marble is removed a cement
will be applied to the uncovered brick.
For instance, in a room or a covered
gallery the ceiling will be covered with
cemaut and then removed in one piece: so
also will the walls. When we rebuild the
Colosseum each wall of the room will be
put in plaoe, the ceiling will be placed on
tbe walls, the cement removed—and there
will be the original room. This system can
be applied ns well to curves as to plane sur
faces. It will be much like setting a scene
at a theater. Of course, it is a great pieoe
of work; but, as yon see,it is possible to do it.
"Weestimate that it will require twelve
months to move tbe building; work will be
carried on night and day in Rome and here.
Every plan will be made in quadruplicate:
one plan will b - In Rome, one here in use,
another in oar offioes, the fourth in a safe
deposit vault, where it can be reached when
necessary. 8 > you see we have prepared
our plans carefully.”
“What do you expeot the cost to be?”
asked tbe reporter, when Dr. Aitken
paused.
About $40,000,000,” answered the doctor.
“A principal item will be the purchase of
tbe Colosseum from the Italian government.
Of oourte the presence of the Colosseum in
Rome is of pecuniary advantage to Italy.
As we have not bought the building yet, you
must excuse me if I decline to dwell at
length on the details of the propcsed pur
chase; it is enough, I think, to say that the
principal difficulty before Bignors Luzzati
and Colombo, the present finance ministers
of Italy, is to ‘make botn ends meet,’ and
they are not in a position entirely to ignore
a fair offer. The coat of transportation and
of taking tbe building down will be less
than tbe cost tt erection; I don’t care to
give our estimates —you will understand
why.”
The Colosseum, or Circus Maximus, at
Rome, was built by Vespasian and his son
Titus between 75 aud 80 A. D. It measures
C 22 by 528 feet and is 1,641 Italian feet in
circumference. Its walls, where they are
complete, are 167 feet high. It could seat
80,000 persoi s. TVhen it was dedicated the
gamos lasted three months, and 5,000 wild
animals were slaughtered. In it hundreds
of Christian martyrs were put to death. In
404 A. D., during a gladitorial fight,
Telemachus, a monk, entered the arena and
tried to separate the combatants. The en
raged populace stoned him to death; then,
repeating, buried him with honor, and
thereafter no shows were held within the
building.
