Text Appearing Before Image:
The Court of Honor by Moonlight, afforded by common consent the most charming scene theWorlds Fair could produce. The sky and water, the great white buildings, the flitting launches andgondolas, the floating lights and the flashing fountains combined to produce an impressiion which willremain lasting in the memories of millions of people.
Text Appearing After Image:
Chicago Day.—Who has not heard of it? The seething mass of humanity, which left scarcely a square yard of unoccupied space in the vast area covered by the Exposition buildings and its grounds, was proof positive that not only Chicagoans, but the strangers within her gates wished to show by their presence their appreciation of Chicagos herculean task. Seven hundred and fifty-four thousand, two hundred and sixty-one visitors! No wonder the world stood aghast.
