GRAMME FOR EACH DAY.

GRAMME FOR EACH DAY.
Most people who visit the Exhibition lose
great deal of time, and go over the same
ground again and again, for want of a clear
comprehension of the time and labor required
to see the interesting features Of the fair, and
of a prearranged programme to guide their
movements. Thus it happens that many find
the time allotted for their stay exhausted and
themselves obliged to leave before they had
gone through the Exhibition IN even cur
sorry manner. l venture to suggest plan for
those who may wish advice on the subject,
ment about the proportion of time which per-
sons of average good taste, without special
hobbies, will want to bestow upon it. The
plan is arranged for nine days. 1t might;
perhaps, be squeezed into week, but it
would be much better to lengthen it to two
weeks and if a thorough study of the Exhi-
bition is intended, at least month will be re-
show in two or three days have no advice to
give. If they can spare no more time they
are to be pitied ; and if they suppose that i'll
that period they can see all they care to see,
Ghey are still more to be pitied for their lack
of information about the magnitude of tlle
Exhibition, or their want of appreciation of
its contents. The nine days would employ
as follows observing that the programme con.
templates steady work from 0 o'clock in the
morning until G in the evening, with short
intermission at noon for lunch:
First Day.--Enter the grounds at Belmont
ave. gate. Buy agdide book With 0 map, If
you have not already provided yourself with

correct idea at the start Of their appearance
and topography. Leave the cars at the ter
minus Of the road, close by the eastern end
of the Main Building, enter the building and
spend the forenoon in the American section,
not forgetting the two galleries where the
educational exhibits are placed from which
fine view may be obtained Of the interior of
the immense structure. In all cases the
American section should be seen first, as
preparation for the examination of the foreign
sections and for comparison between home
and foreign manufactures. Lunch at one of
the cafes in the building-the Cafe Leland is
the best. Go next to the Art Gallery, and
devote two hours to the pictures That is
about as long as any one can spend at a time

as to lose the keen edge of his appreciation.
