In addition to the foregoing there were nu merous State buildings, of which that of Cali fornia was in the style of the old Missions; that of Florida, a miniature of Fort Marion; that of Massachusetts, a copy of the John Hancock House; and that of Virginia a suggestion of Mount Vernon. The foreign buildings were in many instances characteristic. Thus, that of Germany was in the quaint South German archi tecture; that of Sweden. in the style of the Swedish country house of the sixteenth century; that of Spain, representing the Convent of Pohl da ; and that of England, an old manor house of the time of Henry VIII. Also there were build ings specially typical of the nations or countries by which they were erected, as that of Ceylon in teak-wood, and that of .Japan in the characteris tic style of that country. Scattered through the grounds were numerous groups of sculpture, of which the most famous was the Columbian Foun tain by MacMonnies. facing which was a colossal statue of the Republic by French. and over the peristyle still beyond was a quadriga represent ing the Triumph of Columlms, while the figures and animals by Kemeys and Procter were espe cially noteworthy. The amusement features were collected in a strip of land west of Jackson Park, to which the name of Midway Plaisance was giv en, and of these most worthy of note was the huge Ferris Wheel, 264 feet high. During the
Exposition a series of international congresses, grouped under 20 departments and 224 general di visions, were held in Memorial Art Palace under the direction of a committee of which Charles C'. Bonney was president. The topics discussed in eluded every phase of e&momic. scientific. philo sophical. and religious branches of thonght. The total attendance at the Exposition was 27,539, 041, of which 21,479,661 were paid. There were 65.422 exhibitors representing over 250,000 sepa rate exhibits; these were examined by an interna tional jury of awards consisting of S52 judges, about one-half of whom were foreigners. The award. consisting of a bronze medal and diploma, was given to 27.757 exhibitors. or 36 per cent. of the whole number catalogued, exclusive of those from France and Norway. whose exhibits were withdrawn from examination. At the close of the Exposition the total receipts from all sources were $33.290.065. while the total dis bursements were $31,117,353, thus showing a profit, which, however, was considerably dimin i-hed by the expense of removing the buildings, etc. An official account of the Exposition is given in a History of the Worbl's Colanibion Ex position Held in Chicayo in 1893, edited by Rossi ter Johnson (New York, 1897-98), in four vol umes.
