469. The Chicago Exhibition ,1893
The four hundredth anniversary of the Columbian discovery of America occurred in October ,1892. Preparations were made for holding a great commemorative exhi - bition at Chicago . But it took so long to get everything ready that the exhibition was not held until the summer of 1893. Beau - tiful buildings were erected of a cheap but satisfactory material . They were designed with the greatest taste , and were filed with splendid exhibits that showed the skill and resources of Americans , and also with the products of foreign countries . Hundreds of thousands of persons from all parts of the country visited the exhibition with pleasure and great profit . No more beautiful or suc - cessful exhibition has ever been held .
