the whole territory, as it was not
until 1889 that II white woman set
foot on the soil, and as n conse-
quencc, the lady was for long time
much annoyed by the miners, who
regarded her as IL rare curiosity,
and persisted in stopping work and
gazing upon her with looks of min
gled wonder, admiration, and ret
rospection whenever she appeared.
The Michigan building, another
of the late ones, was formally OPEN
ell few days since by Governor
Bagley. This structure is one of
the most artistically Designer and
fnely-fnishcd State buildings on
the grounds, the airy and graceful
proportions of the supcrstructure
eliminating in high villa tower
Oh the south side. The building is
made cntirely of native woods, and
the interior is adorned with rich en-
cravings of oiled and polished wood
of every variety grown in the State.
1t is handsomely, though not en-
travagantly, furnished throughout,
and the parlor on the second floor
is a gem of comfort and good taste.
At the opening of the building it
was almost Immediately throngcd
with visitors, large proportion Of
whom were from Michigan.
The delightful weather of this
week makes the Exposition doubly
attractive and is only foretaste Of
what the next three months will be.
1t appears that the thousands of far
away people who arc coming next
month have not yet made their ar
rangements for accommodations. |
am III almost daily receipt oflcttcrs
of inquiry on this subject, which l
cannot possibly answer for lack of
time. The Centennial Lodging and
Boarding House Agency, III San

such attentions and can be relied
upon to provide all applicants with
just what they want, in any part of
the city. lam personally acquaint-

tcndcnt and can vouch for his agree
ablencss and promptncss. But it
is not necessary to engage quarters
in advance. There are at least
Ia, 1000 rooms at the disposal of
visitors, outside of hotel facilities,
and all can be comfortably served.
Above all, visitors should not pur-
chase tickets for accommodation
beforehand, as numerous cases of
imposition occur in this way. The
most prudent and satisfactory way
is to retain your baggage checks on
arrival and go direct to the agency,
whence you can be conducted with
out charge to the sort of quarters
you desire, and be enabled to see
what you get before paying for it.
Good board can thus be obtained
for from 500 to $1,000 per week.
One of the greatest discomforts
of the Exposition has been the want
of adequate means of reaching the
grounds from the city at a reason
able price and in reasonable time.
The street cars running to the Park
arc always overloaded and most UNI
comfortably crowded, and nearly an
hour is consumed in making the
trip. This trying ordeal, however,
can now be avoided. On Saturday
last the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
menccd running trains from Six
tecnth and Market streets to the
Exposition grounds, which were at
once largely patronized by the pub
lie. A pleasant ride of Il few min
utcs brings the passengers to the
Exposition gates, where they are
set down in a cool and comfortable
state Of mind ready to begin their
explorations of the great Worlds
Fair without any of the fatigue
which is necessarily induced by a
long, hot and dusty ride in street
