COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
THE WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
By an act approved April 25, 1890, congress made provision for celebrating in a proper manner the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America. The preamble and first section of the act are as follows:
WHEREAS, It is fit and appropriate that the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America be commemorated by an exhibition of the resources of the United States of America, their development, and of the progress of civilization in the new world; and,
WHEREAS, Such an exhibition should be of a national and international character, so that not only the people of our Union and this continent, but those of all nations as v ell, can participate, and should therefore have the sanction of the congress of the United States; therefore,
Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That an exhibition of arts, industries, manufactures, and pro- ducts of the soil, mine and sea, shall be inaugurated in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-two, in the city of Chicago, in the state of Illinois, as hereinafter provided.
The act of congress provides for the appointment by the president of a commission, to consist of two commissioners from each state and territory and the District of Columbia; and for eight commissioners at large, all to compose the "World's Columbian Exposi- tion." Those from the states were appointed on the nomination of their respective governors. The commissioners were also empowered and required to appoint a board of lady managers and to assign to them such duties as they saw fit. The several commission- ers have been appointed, and the work of preparation in all its various branches has been pushed with remarkable energy.
Large funds amounting to millions were raised in Chicago, liberal appropriations were made by the general government, the several states; and the vast labor of preparing for the great enterprise has been pushed with a surprising degree of energy. The buildings erected were dedicated with appropriate ceremonies at Chicago, on the 21st day of Octo- ber, 1892.
Wisconsin, by an act of the legislature, approved April 25, 1891, appropriated $65, 000, to be expended in awakening interest in the work of making as extensive an exhibit at the Fair, as the wealth and the varied resources of our state demand. To secure these ob- jects the act provides for a commission to be known as the "State Board of World's Fair Managers," to consist of seven persons, six men and one woman. To this number were added as ex-officio, the members of the World's Columbian Commissioners from this state and the Wisconsin members of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Commission provided for under the act of congress. The names and addresses of the members of the commission and state board are here given in the following pages:
