Kansas and Way Stations

After our mild dissipation Of a good CT
gar, We received with joy the Information
that cot would be awarded us. Thi,
was considered a mark of especial favor
for N any had only a thin mattress be-
tween them and the floor, while Others
were sent down to large steam Nor which
was fitted up for the occasion.
The next morning broke bright and
clear, and as it was legal holiday in the
city, an increased crowd was to be expect
ed at the fair we therefore thought tina
we would be wise and go early. The
first thing was TO find a conveyance, and
in few minutes a hack was found, in4'
off for the grounds, in which we jumped
but before starting, thought we would
make sure of the price of fare, surprising
it to be the same IS yesterday -ffty cents
but having adopted the srule to always
make the bargain before starting. we
asked the question. "1a00 d0llarS!!" We
were dumbfounded fer a moment, then
we thought we understood it and mildly
suggested that we supposed he would get
some other passengers-we did not ex-
pect to ride up alone; to which he replied
that he "intended to, and charge 'em five
dollars each"
We put safe distance between our
selves and that hackman as quick as pos
sible. We thought he was dangerously
crazy. By further inquiry we found all
the other drivers possessed by the same
money mania" Here was a dilemma
We would not pay the price-we could
not walk it, and we must go. 1t was fl
nally solved by the appearance of an old
darkey driving a slightly dilapidated
team on which was chalked, "For tue
FAR, 80 sENTs." We blessed the fifteenth
amendment, jumped in, and after long
time arrived safely at the fair grounds,
where we spent the day looking at every.
thing.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1871-11-16

We saw the ''steam wagon" steam rap
idly around through valley and Ger hill,
drawing load of not far from twenty
tons. We saw q house constructed entire
ly of lightning rods, containing In the
neighborhood of sixty thousand rods-not
square rods but twisted ones. We saw an
increased crowd of people, estimated at
seventy.fve thousand, and were told that
the receipts would probably be abaut thirty
thous md dollars, that day. The Asso
citation gives forty thousand dollars in
premiums. We have seen the largest ag-
ricultural exhibition in the world, and as
the other attractions of st. Louis, consist
principally in it's beer gardens, and few
like smusnu ents, we will shake off the
dust, and leave the crowd behind ia. We
do not wish TO be understood that there
is nothing else interesting in st. Lonis, or
even that the beer gardens are not interest
ing, for they are, and in future letter
we hope TO describe them, among other
pecnli4rities of the Western people, which
have been introduced by its foreign pop1-
lation. G.
