At THE EXPOSITION.
What DIR. Schaffranek Saw in New Orlean
and Elsewhere.

Dr. ScnatraneK, IN recent letter to the
Polatka News, Florida, after speaking of
his travels from Florida to New Orleans,
says Of the Exposition:
Besides the main building the historical
hall, the United States exhibits, the art gal
lery, the machinery extension, the Mexican
building and the Mexican headquarters,
there are different stands where the tired
warderer can get Tor FIVE cents some re
freshments, such az lemonade, soda water,
banana liquor, etc. \ Milwaukee has its beer
hall and Mexico coffee house, in which is
offered an excellent chocolate in Mexican
STYLE by dsrk-eyed, bHght senoritas. Going
further We reached the
Horticultural Hall.
Here we expectedto find an abundant
exposition of the finest flowers, shrubs,
palms, trees and ferrS especially in tropical
and subtropicsl species to find q mass of
plants which would let only as ornamental
plants awake the visit Or 8 interest for botany,
bot would also leavea good impression in
regard to the G,thetifsste Unfortunately
in this respect, in thi place where we had
expected the best wtwere disappointed.
Although at FIRST disappointed in some
ways, we now left the horticultural hall with
satisfaction and accompanied by rain we
went to the so called

proved by the nuerous kinds of machines
which we can see Inhibited at the
Machiny Extension,
