The Sc. Louis Carnival Attracts Larger
Crowds Than Ever Before-Points of In
terest.
Saturday October II, at 10 O'Clock the great
St. Louis Exposition of 1891 will close its doors
and the carnival will be over. It will be held
again in 1892 but ten months is long time to
wait. and the lover Of a. good time and of a
view of the beautiful should pay a.visit to ST.
Louis before October II. Fair week proved a
greater attraction than ever the programme
of amusement being so full and complete that
the most exacting were more than gratlfied.
The fair was voted an Improvement on past
years, owing to the number of novelties intro
duced and the striking array of exhibits from
all parts OF the Union. In the old days, which
only ended some three years ago, crowds
their way to the fair were annoyed by the In
sufflciency OF the street car accommodation but
although the crowd this year was the largest
on record. there was no difficulty on this score.
Two electric roads and one cable line have
been built, making a total Of seven roads to
the Fair Grounds, able to carry from 49, 900 to
1900 passengers an hour easily, but whose
cars were crowded to their utmost capacity
during the mornings and evenings. In addition
tothis. the streets are in such fine order that
driving out in hacks and buggies was luxury.

say much. The uniQueness of the pageant, the
enormous crowds along the route of the parade.
and the presence in full dress of 1000 invited
guests at the ball. all show that fourteen an
nual visits have endeared the mystic monarch
not only TO the people Of ST. Louis, but also of
the West and indeed the East. and that far
from the interest fading as the novelty ceased
to exist, familiarity breeds in this instance ad-
miration that cannot be overestimated.
During the remainder Of the festival season
there is much to interest the spectator. and
many defer their visits until after Fair week in
order to avoid the crush such enormous
gathering OF people naturally creates. st.
Louis is handling the crowds this year in
more systematic manner than ever, and,
thanks to well-managed bureaus and registers.
all are being provided for comfortably and at
reasonable rates ST. Louis does not bleed its
guests or advance prices ON the ground that
the law OF supply and demand warrants such
course; 1t rather treats it's visitors like hon.
ored guests and provides as much absolutely
free entertainment as possible
Col. Gilmore will wind up his 1891 engage
ment on October IL, and in the meantime he is
providing four genuine musical treats daily.
He has a habit of reserving the very best to
the last, and some OF the concluding concerts
will be masterpieces indeed

witnessing the vast commercial and manufac-
turing establishments In which st. Louis
exoeis all other cities in the world in many
lines. and thus business relations formed
which rebound to the profit both Of the visitor
and the city.
