so large that IL was tiresome. Yet one who
was not a visitor missed much that was OF
interest and profit TO him. Passing through.

exhibits that may interest those who were
not there There was Cappa's band with it's
exquisite music, the mt who dropped from
the balloon, the fall of Pompeii, and peoplel
ah, thousands OF theml Now these notes
were made at random and OF things that

! The Canadian Pacific Railway made an
exhibit OF scenery along the line of the road
that was an art department all by itself
! Now the writer, who has visited most all
the places shown In the beautiful pictures
with which the company's space was
decorated can testify TO their fidelity to
nature even down to me minutest details.
The pictures were all Monochromes, and
visitors gave them plenty OF attention.
Those particularly noteworthy were the
Lachine bridge, the islands, glaciers and
beauties In and about Lake Louise, and EN-
erald and Kicking Horse Pass, the Heart of
the Selkirks. the Asulkan, Glacier, etc.
There is not another railroad la the world
where such variety of scenery abounds as
along the Canadian Pacific, and this exhi-
bit was well worth study. What a stretch
OF country IL passes through And verify
happy Is the passenger who occupies space

Is but one legend, "Take the Canadian
Pacific" Yes traveller take passage over

ands or miles OF country you will view such

much IL surpasses cold type descriptions.
