ST. LOUIS, Sept. 80. Only one thing can
prevent ST. Louis from entering to'mor-
'ow o. the greatest week in her history.
By the liberaity and the generosity OF the
itiZens, feast OF amusement has been
prepared for Visitors aud jewellers alike
which will eclipse anything ever done
the country. There Is no chance
or hitch. All arrangements have
,een made by competent volunteer
committees, and to-day every citizcG OF
IT, Louis lean guarantee to all strangers
hat II they visit the city during the coming
week there is not the remotest fear that
hey will go away disappointed. Nothing
au possibly interfere save bad weather
nd that is scarcely among the probabilities,
With this exception, st. Louis is prepared
begin entertaining the citizens and the
trangers within her gates with round
II amusements, which IL equally re.
narkabIe for variety and excellence.
Sothng has been left undone, and the only
apprehension which can now be felt is that
anybody who attempts TO follow up all the
attractions which the great carniy week
viii bring forth will be surfeted with pleas.
Tres before next Saturday is reached. A
hundred thousand dollars has been spent in
N eRdeayor to get up series OF displays OF
very kind, which will far surpass anything
{ the kind ever attempted before. From
chat is known Of the preparations already
made, and the work already accomplished,
Il safe TO state, with all confidence, that
he endeayor has g been most sue.
.essful, aud that the fair week Of 1888 will
10 remembered by all who have the good
ortune to be in the city during its cOurin-
lance as long as ~. Louis Is rsckoned
mong the cities Of the Union. For all
his great credit is due to number Of en-
erprisng gentlemen who have spared nei-
her time nor expense, and who have pushed
hese matters 10 successful ending at the
cost OF much money and more work to
| ,1emselves.
From advices alre ady received from out

| / least
400, e00 VISITORS
will arrive in st. Leus before the grand
pageant OF the Yelled Prophets parades the

hat the majority Of them will not leave UNI

ableaux on Friday and the Saturday clos
ug at the Fair.
The city is already filling up with visitors,
perceptible thronging Of streets and
iublic places Is observed. All visitor Cx-

Intensive and varied preparations every
where visible for their entertainment and
