The Brookhaven ledger. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1876-06-01

Having seen a good deal of the Expo
sition, + now propose to tell your read
ers how to spend q week here in sight
seeing.
Take a room zeal the grounds and
commence on the first day by entering
on Belmont Avenue, turn to the right
and you are in the Main Building, with
II days work before you and a trip
around the world. Still keeping to the
right, we enter Chill and the Argentine
Republic, which with Peru and the
Orange Free State form the first Sec
ton, and contain much that is of inter
est. Then the old nations of China
and Japan, with curious exhibits of
bronzes, straw work, silk and mattlngs.
Next Denmark, then Turkey and Egypt,
followed by the beautiful pavilionN OF
Spain and the exhibits of Russia, Aus
tria, Hungary and the German Empire
united, and one.fourth of the days
work has been accomplished. We are
now in the centre of the building, and
if tired can rest md listen to the music
of Gilmore's Band or push on to the ex-
hibits of our own country, which occu-
by fully one-fourth Of the Main Build
ing. On arriving at the extreme end,
go up in the gallery and view the won
derful vista which extends for nearly
half p mile before the eye. Now it is
time TO dine, and as the Restaurant La
fayette is the nearest we will dine there
and spend an hour under the shade of
the trees. Returning, WE leave the
United States and passing through
Mexico, the Netherlands, Brazil, Bel
GUM and Switzerland, reach France
and England, where hours can be spent
with pleasure and profit. Then passing
through Canada, Australia, Sweden,
Norway and Italy, we have reached our
starting point, and the bell chimes give
notice that it is six o'clock, and time to
close. Tired, we go to our hotel for a
rest, and then if so inclined spend the
evening at Operti's Garden, or go down
in the city and visit Independence
Hall, and thus has passed the first day.
The second day should be devoted to
the Machinery Hall, the Shoe and
r oo@b,. p,ilJinr tho Glass Factorv
and the buildings in the vicinity. Dine
at the French Restaurant, but look at
the prices. Bear in mind that two per
sons can dine comfortably on what is
ordered FOR one. The third day visit
the Art Gallery and its %annexes, the
Photographic Gallery and the Carriage
Building, with a look at Judges Hall.
Dine at the German Restaurant, spend
the evening at Thomas Concert or one
of the theatres. The fourth day can be
pleasantly spent by visit to the Gov,
eminent Building, the Women's Pavil-
ion, the Model of Paris, the State
Buildings, and q dinner at the restau-
rant on Georges Hill. The fifth day
can be given to the Horticultural and
Agricultural Buildings, with a dinner at
the grand American Restaurant. De-
vote the sixth day to an examination of
the smaller buildings, and dine at the
Southern Restaurant. Then, take a
boat up the Schuylkill, visit the Zoolog-
ical Gardens, Paramount Park, the
Wissahickop, and spend the evening at
the Academy of Fine Arts, dining at
Strawberry Mansion or Proskauer's,
and the week has passed with both
pleasure and profit.
Do not be alarmed at the reports of
high charges for bead and lodging in
Philadelphia; a careful examination of
the subject settles the question that
good board can be had from Sc per
week up to S. per day. Within sight
of the Exhibition there are good &C.
commodations for 81 per day, that is, a
comfortable bedroom; breakfast can be
had outside the grounds for fifty cents,
and a good dinner inside for 81.
