The next great attraction was
the unique procession of the "Veil-
ed Prophet" and the succeeding
elaborate ball. The procession en-
braced twenty-five floats, illustra-
ting scenes FROM the "Arabian
Knights" 1t very much resem-
bled those of Mardi Gras or the
"Mystick Krewe," as annually held
in New Orleans, though perhaps
less brilliant in the get up. There
were a variety of other professions,
such as that of the "Merchants and
Manufacturers Display Associa-
tion," the latter far more instructive
and interesting than the first des-
cribed. Then the "Macke Bril-
gade," ETC., something of the kind
nearly every night, to witness which
the streets were literally packed
and thronged by untold thousands.
The most remarkable feature of the
week, however, may be cited as the
city's grand illumination. This for
transcendant brilliancy and artistic
effect and arrangement, far surpass-
ed all the mind ever conceived, and
continued for each and every night
during the week. It is said moth
ing either here Or elsewhere ever
approached it in extent and gran
deur. The need of praise is thus
bestowed by those who had wit
messed similar scenes in foreign
lands. To think of thousands, per
haps millions, of bright and varied
colored gas jets that lined each side
OF the principal streets, and grand
arches spanning the same, as far as
the eye could reach, while many
houses of from four to five stories
high literally blazed with the same.
Just imagine such spectacle and
you may form some faint idea of
the dazzling and bewildering effect
to beholder. My pen would ut
terly fail in the effort to describe it,
and this truly gorgeous and sublime
scene was repeated for each and ey-

Another of the grand displays of

to be superior to all others for such

several hundred acres. It is high

all parts of the North, both field,

sented. In this grand enclosure

tributors and truly wonderful is
their display in home manufactures.

Oct. IL, 1885. !
Editor Democrats:

Editor Democrat:
Since my last report from the
"Bluff City," in military parlance,
| have "changed base" and am a
temporary sojonruer in this the far
famed metropolis of the great West.
| will not even attempt a descrip-
ton of its many beauties, its almost
boundless resources in all that con-
stitutes progress, energy and true
greatness. 1t would be beyond
any power possess to do adequate
justice thereto. l hear some of its
denizens call St. Louis "The Flu.
ture Great"~-but to judge from
what one daily and hourly sees, its
present greatness is a fact so we'll
established that none can doubt it.
Great, however, as it is, no limit
can be ascribed to its prospective.
| will not, however, attempt a task
of which l have already said l
doubt my own capacity to fill
With population bordering on
half million, with resources of
commerce derived from its own
wonderful skill in manufacture,
with surroundings rich in all agri-
cultural products, everything neces.
sary to minister to human wants,
both in necessity and luxury, its
course is truly upward and onward,
and, as previously remarked, no
limit can be placed as to its gIo
rious future.
The week just past, commencing
with the 9Th and ending on the
10th inclusive, has been so remark
able for its splendid pageants, that
u brief allusion thereto | have
thought might interest some of
your readers who have not had the
good fortune, like your correspon-
dent, to witness them. 1t was in
every sense and particular emphat-
icully a "gala week" The St.
Louis Exposition, resembling the
great Centennial lately held in New
Orleans in all except magnitude,
had been in full and successful op-
GRAFTON for several weeks. This of
itself has proved a great instructor
and educator in all that is rare, ex-
quisite and useful, in arts, science,
machinery and manufactures of ev-
cry description. Its immense Ca
pacious building erected expressly
for the purpose is of itself a won
der, so fine specimen of architec-
tural grandeur occupying the site
Of former large city park, embra-
cling two entire squares of ground,
though beautiful and ornate in de-
sign and execution, was evidently
built less for show than for conye-
uience, comfort and durability; it
being, as learn, set apart for these
annual expositions, Of which this is
the second. One of its grandest
features is magnificent Music
Hall with seating capacity of
some 1000, which with standing
room, as | saw it, must have con-
tanned half as. many more. The
attraction was Gilmore's world-re-
nowned band of some seventy-five

congregated were estimated to great
ly exceed 100000, or many more

during this single week is compu-
ted at a million. For variety, ex-
sent and grandeur of its displays,
the St. Louis Fair stands without a
peer in the land, and was undoubt-
eddy the grandest event of the past
grand week. This is amply attest
ed by the hundred of thousands who
annually flock from all quarters to
attend it. 1t is the greatest card
its energetic citizens could put forth
