A dialogue on visiting the World’s Fair in Chicago. A man obsessed with maps, statues and exhibits plans a prolonged summer study before attending, while another warns of crowds and heat. The piece caps with humorous reflections on readiness and patriotism, and a comic aside about a dog and a black man.
