Some one has said that this World:
Exposition is grand object lesson, 81
let us take
A PROMENADE
And glance at some of the objects, from
the gallery of the government building
aud elsewhere, which will illustrate t.
some extent the above statement.
On the northeast corner of the gallery
we see an exhibit from San Antonio
Texas. in which there are chairs made
of horns from Texas log horn cattle
and upholstered with tiger skins. They
look very fine and unique. But In add.
ton to seeing these peculiar chairs, we
have learned and fixed in our minds two
things, 1st. That the State produces long
horned cattle, the horns of which we
know the length and size, for we have
seen them; and, I'd. That tigers are nat
tive of that State, for we have seen the
skins. Next, we look down at the Cdli>
fornia exhibit, We see two large cubes,
one having an altitude of l41% feet and
represents tue actual bulk of gold that
has been the output of the mines of Cal
lfornia, $,l60,000,000. The other cube,
having height of 123 feet, represents
the bulk of the output from the silver
mines, S5000O,O0O.
Casting our eyes in a little different
direction, we see the central figure of
the exhibit of Dakota, a magnificent
tower 40 feet high, 20 feet square at the
base, decorated handsomely with the
grasses and grain of the State Aud
there is also seen another prominent fea-
ture of DakOta's exhibit. 1t is called.

and covered with her characteristic Span

which when properly considered, impart
at once useful information.
We now come down from the gallery
and pass toward the southwest corner
of the building, and in doing so, the eye
catches glimpse of many of the multi
tuoe of exhibits in this building. Among
them the Greeley Relief Exposition" in
which the boats, all other equipage and
manner of dress is shown Passing out
Of the government building toward the
main building, we see, first, Edison s
Electric Railway in operation, Carving
visitors from one building to the other.
On the tight. as we pass along, the Grand
Rapids, Michigan, furniture manufac-
turing company's pavilion, is observed.
This euterprising company has erected a
suitable building for the display not only
of their own furniture, but that of others
also. just back of this pavilion is the
wagon and carriage building. containing
very extensive exhibit of everything
IN that line. Passing through both these
buildings on our Way, we take look at
various styles of furniture, carriages,
etc. and then enter the main building
Among the first things here at the nurth
end that attracts attention, is the roar
of the water fall at the pump works, and
the whirr and buzz of the agricultural
machinery. Among the latter, we notice
a very fine display of agricultural i'm.
plements and machinery, exhibited by
Anltman u Co., Canton. and Aultman
Miller 81 Co, Akron. AS we go along
muslcallnstruments organs, picnics, &c,
are seen by hundreds, and millions OF
other articles of beauty and virtu are
seen on every hand. Continuing on
down one of the aisles, glass lar is
seen containing George Washington's
artificial teeth. The exhibits of the
