Night-District Exhibit at the Fair
A meeting of the executive committee Of the
board of trade WAS held last evening. A reso-
lutioa was ndopted extending a cordial invita-
ton to the Knights OF Pythias to hold their
grand encampmeIrt in this city in 1894. II was
suggested that the officers and executive COM

ference of the governmental board of the
worlds exposition and the exposition commits
sioners of the District, to consider the advisa-
bility of a District exhibit. 1t was suggested
that the most feasible plan was TO have a topo-
graphical model Of the District placed in the
center of the governmental building and sur
rounded by photographs and birds eve views Of
the city. Action upon this subject deferred
until the next meeting. The president Of the
board, Mr.. Parker. was instructed TO APP

With pneumatic tire. If you have
not tried it (though you may have
ridden all other makes) you know but
little about the health, pleasure and

Bicycle is no longer considered a toy

a PRACTICAL AND USEFUL Vehicle, to
be ridden on all kinds Of roads by
both sexes old and young. Why should
some persons think it vast to invest
money in bicycle! A good one will
last many years and is an economical
and healthy means Of travel, they do
not eat and will not get sick and die.
If person pay $500 or more for a
nice horse and carriage to be used for
pleasure only, we do not think i: ex-
