economy OF space here that they have seats
on top OF cars and omnibuses) it will cost you
just three cents to be put down in front of
that new tawdry castle called the Trocaders
This is the main entrance to the grounds.

and ways OF approach, but we can fortunately

inside the enclosure, and on the immense
crescent shaped calonaded portico of the
Trocadero. A better general view can be had
from this point than from any other At the
foot OF the hill below US, is the Seine, spanned
by bridge, so wide that 267 ladies'. in the

rounded by flowers. trees, grottos and rustic

building or rather system of buildings called
the Exposition. But before we leave the
portico OF the rrocedero let us look down upon
what is to be seen. On this side the Seine.
