Th t d rector general of the great exposition has come 10 the conclusion that an inferior build¬ ing will not meet he requirement of ro grand a display, and that some standard of excellence ought he establ shed, The site for the expos ton has been selected and located on the most beautiful parks in the city on the shore of Lake Michigan, and embracing un area of nearly one thousand acres. Whi C“ these parks are all beautiful, there are yet some spoi* more desirable tliun others for the loca¬ tion of the Administrative building.
