Hi,

The World's Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893, not 1892. It 
opened May 1, 1893 and closed October 30, 1893. The first commemorative 
United States stamps (16) and coins (25c and 50c) were issued in honor of the 
event. Had he been willing to pay the cost of a ticket, Scrooge could have 
ridden on the first Ferris Wheel, seen belly dancer Little Eqypt and heard 
soprano Adelina Patti, among many others, perform at the fair.

Regards,
