If the general public will only forget
the fact that they have no interest what
ever IN the financial welfare of the Ex-
position, there will be no more cries of
failure" It matters not to the visitor
whether the management makes mon
ey or not SO long As they see a grand
show
Nearly two weeks have now passed
since the carnival and everything has
assumed it normal condition again, al
though a marked Improvement in the
attendance Is evident Prices have al
so taken a tumble The two fine
steamers the "Isabei'i and Sunbeam
which ply on the river between the
head Of Canal street and Fair grounds
are doing very heavy business the
public prefer a seat on an elegant
steamer To standing up in q horse car,
when it Ouly costs cents a round trip
more.
The fine steamer Jesse x. Bell leaves
her wharf at the foot of Canal street
eyry Monday, Wednesday, Friday and
Sunday evenings for the Jetties, Gulf of
Mexico, Fort jackson and st. Phillips;
a large number of the visitors avail
famous Jetties. The round trip includ-
ing ard only costs Sc.
Mauu's BOudoir Car Co., Of New
York, have an elegant Mann Boudoir
car on exhibition. These cars aye now
operated by five different railroad COM
paue~ in the Uniied States In France
~ rmany, Spain, Austria and other
10 eign countries they supply tile place
If the Pullman or Wagner sleeping
car now operated so generally in this
country. As YOU pass into the Mann
BOudur car from either end YOU first
come Ia a lad es ur gents dressing room
then come long hall from one end of
Car 10 the other. Opening off this hall
way are the several compartments or
bOudOirs Sumo of these rooms are ar
ranged for two and some for four per-
sous. By dag these eumpari ments are
simply pretty cabins, with high arched
/ ceilings, large Dlate-glass windows and
either one OF two luxurious sofas. The
spfH~ aUs athwart the car and under
| them. and behind heir inclined backs
are. carried the mattre ses and bedding.
The .Rueen and Crescent Route" is the
| only line tunmng into New Orleans
/ which use these cars.
Exposition sOuveniers are for sale
and given away at every street corner,
ard upon the grounds. They consist Of
thousands Of different articles, both
! useful and Ornamental-sOme indeed
are very beauliful-and are sold at
prices from cents to So. The price
is usually guaged By the gulibilty of
purchaser; of course all visitors take
home something from the exposition.
The expo It on is certainly the sin
VentOrs paradise and nearly every
class of machinery can here be found.
The railroad man finds the latest i'm
Pr OVement~ IN his line, the farmer In
mis-. the printer in his and so on. LO-
Gated among the steam engines dis
PLAYED, g f Pages patent traction
engine is viewed by thousands every
day and the principle upon which It
works IS pronounced a success. Here-
tOfore traction engines have been Of lit
tie use except where the roads were
very fine. This engines superiority
lies in the fact that il lays It's own track
and takes it up again, in fact has an
endless track and can be used on any
road or field Ii will pull six plows
and also heavy loads on sand and soft
ground. All traction engines can be
altered 50 as TO apply this invention
which was only patented in 1884. The
| Page patent Will IN a short time reVOlu-
tiOaize the motive power used.
The United States Navy has on exc
hibitiOn ttB latest invention for the de-
struction of human life, and if other ma
tons present at the Worlds Fair will
only be fQreWarned by the preparations

ed States. Another very attractive feat
ure of the national exhibit is the life
saving appliance and light-hOuses-mOd-
| el OF the latter are seen in great variety.
/ Also s"mple lamps which cast the rays
I of light for many miles acrOsst the waters
/ to warn the mariner OF pending danger.
No private exhibit is attracting atLen-
ton or adding more to the value of any
/ state or territorial display than that Of

/ self and has a large variety Of t8xider-
nv goods Indian Curi0sities, fur rugs,
/ buffalo robes, etc. Thousands Of visit
/ Ors pass through his primitive looking
/ log shack-each day. Such exhibits as
/ this have done more 70 give Dakota her
! supremacy than any eaOrt of the COM
/ missiOners. and 1t hes not cost the terri
tory a dollar.
