DIRECTOR GENERAL DAVI8.
Tbeman on whom the chief responsi
bility for the conduct of the World’s
Fair" will tost is Col. George R. Da
vis, of Chicago, upon whom the Local
Board of Directors and the National
Commission agreed for the post of Di
rector General. Ths local directory
chose Col Davis fr m among the many
men recommended for the place, and
submitted his name to the commission,
wh>cb body formally elected Col. Davis
to the high office. There wss one oth
er candidate, General Hastings, of
Pennsylvania, but Col. Davis was cho
sen upon the first ballot and his elec
tion was then made unanimous.
There is that in the character of the
man thus honored which speaks for tbe
wisdom of the action by the cominis--
sion. Col. Davis has clearn^ssjof judg
ment, promptness in decision, determi
nation in purpose, a knowledge of men
and tact in dealing with them. He was
born at Three Rivers, Palmer. Mass ,on
Jan. 3, 1840, and was educated in the
public schools and at Williston Semi
nary, where he was graduated in 18G0.
