| Smlth tOld the people VINO were present
at the housewaFming, that his state
could raise something else beside
granite, for which she Is justly noted,
The Yankees know how 20 do the
handsome thing In the way OF enter
tainment, aud this occasion was nc
exception to their general rule.
How very much those who had the
pleasure of listening to Sousa's band,
regret his leave-taking for Manhattan
Beach. While others will come who
will do much toward filling the va
cancy, still many Of us will not be
satisfied until he comes among us
again.
The music in Festival Hall continues
to improve, II such thing were posi-
Bile. It's treat to hear any Of these
concerts or oratorlos, and disappoint-
ment to be absent when one has q
taste for music, and has attended any
of the series. U
Ceylon, that lie of the sea, was
among the Others who put their best
foot ahead, and told those interested to
step into her home, and see what she
produces. There was no noise or undue
commotion attendant upon this open
ing, and yet many will be surprised to
know that some of our best teas and
choicest woods come from that far
away land.
Chief Allison and those ofhis friends
who did not fall by the wayside, ac-
complished as much as George Francis
Train, and did 1t all in four hours. In
that immense manufactures and
liberal arts building they started to
walk from one nation of this earth to
the othes, and a right royal welcome
did they receive from those who repre-
sented the powers that be. The truth
is the said George Francis was not in
it, and ere Mr.. Allison and his friends
finished, 1 reckon many of them
wished they were not ''in it'' also.
What could be more conducive to
fair junketing than the weather last
week. Comfortable days, bright sun
shine cool, restful evenings and nights.
Don't forget your wraps and light
overcoats.
We must not forget to chronicle the
reception given to Miss Sophia b. Hay
den, who is the architect of that
beautiful building, erected through the
efforts of the gentler sex. 1t stands
out prominent among the rest, and
takes rank among the best, and where
most all are best, this is saying a good
deal-of course Mrs. Potter Palmer
and many other women identified with
woman's work, took a prominent part
in the reception.
The evident sincerity depicted on the
faces of the interested audience who
gathered and took part in the Sunday
worship, speaks well for the stand
taken and accepted, In holding these
services, and it is the intention of the
fair officials to continue them, and to
have noted ministers of different de.
nominations officiate, from this time
on.
How much we are dependent on
those who till the soil, and the COM
plete installation ofexhibits in agricul-
tural building shows to the world what
mother earth can produce. The ban
quet served because Mr.. Buchanan had
set his house in apple pie order, was
made up of contributions from the ex-
hibitors in this immense granary or
storehouse, and it is safe to say that
none went away hungry because of
lack Of variety.
Those queer little people from the
island of Java have been beset with
many difficulties in getting their viii
lage in shape, but now that it is done,
it is one of the great attractions.
Arkansas travellers or newspapermen
ran up to see how things were going,
and, judging from the reception given,
they must have had good time.
Many of the bright lights in that
States journalistic circles, told us how
they do things down where "Kito
lived, and where sawmlls abound.
Brooklyn which is destined to be
part and parcel of Greater New York;
when the solons at Albany 80 decide)
held high carnival on June 81, and
one would have thoughl that all her
inhabitants had been turned loose, SO
great were the number wearing rib
bons with the magnetic word Brook
lyn" inscribed thereon. The Arion
singing society of which that city is
justly proud, came all the way to lend
their voices, in specially prepared
program. Mayor Harrison of Chicago
greeted Mayor Boody of Brooklyn with
his wellknown hospitality over in the
New York state building where the
reception was held. A more beautiful
day could not have been chosen.
Sweden says she has no natal or an
niversary day. for almost before the
mountains were brought forth, she had
been from everlasting; there, emblem
atical of her people, In quiet way,
she bid all who would, come in and
see her exhibits, for they are contained
in this one building.
That white-haired old man, Freder-
ick Douglass lifted up his voice at the
dedication of the home builded by
Hayti, and many distinguished person
ages were present
The Missouri newspaper people came
up, so that when they go home, they
can advise all their readers to make
haste and come to the fair, and If the
good time had while here, isindicative
what they will write. we can expect to
