'9HoHE leading question with nearly
Nl everybody is "How can l can |
see the Worlds Fair in the time that it
is possible for me to devote to this
purpose 2" Railway men are usually
the busiest people in the world; but
the officer of great railway company
has taken the time to satisfactorily
answer the foregoing question. Geo.
81. Heafford, general passenger agent
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul railway company. has performed
really valuable service for the public
by writing and sending out a pam
phlet which contains numerous sug-
tons in regard to seeing the Worlds
Fair. Mr.. Heafford thinks that you
can see the exposition in six days; or,
if you have but three days, you can
gain satisfactory knowledge of it, if
you know how to spend those days
proftably; and he says, if you have but
ONE day, "come and pass the most
wonderful day Of you life"
BY running through coaches be-
tween this city and Chicago, the
C. NJ. and st. p. company have made
it an easy matter for people from this
section to attend the Fair, and have
also further emphasized the desire of
the company to give US the best of
everything at their disposal, and have
extended to the territory tributary to
Mineral Point division advantages
equal to those enjoyed by people of
the most favorably located cities.
The convenience thus extended will
be appreciated by all Worlds Fair Wis
itors, but more especially by women
and children unaccustomed to tray
ing by rail.
Here are Mr. Heafford's suggestions
for "Seeing the Fair in Six Days
A lack of space forbids us giving
in this issue his suggestions for see
ing it in Three Days. and in One
Day:
GENERAL DIRECTIONS.
Always have a plan. Know before
you start for the Fair what you intend
to see that day. The Exposition is SO
vast and so distracting that without a
programme strictly followed you drift
about, feel confused, experience great
fatigue and little profit.
Buy a complete guide book to con-
suit in your room in the evening, but
do not bother much with it at the Fair
Use your eyes to see instead, and fol
low the programme furnished you by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway as to what to see.
Do not be afraid to carry your lunch
if you think best. Many do this,
though lunch may be obtained at rea-
sonable prices at numerous lunch
counters and restaurants. Do not fail
to remain some evening for the illumi-
nation.
If you complete a days programme
early spend your extra time in the Fine
Arts building.
Whenever you can, hear the concert
given in Choral Hall, at II O'Clock
daily, free of charge-by Theodore
Thomas orchestra-led by the great
musician himself. Listen to the finest
music in the world, and rest.
FIRST DAY.
Give this day to the outdoor study
of the grounds. If you go by water
from downtown" begin at the piel
jutting into the lake from the Peristyle
This is the proper entrance. Study the
classic Peristyle. The forty-four pill
lars represent the forty-four States Of
our Union; the statues above, idealizeG
racial types. The spirited group il
the center is Columbus driving, in {
triumphal car, the steeds of progress:
into the Exposition. Read the names
of early discoveries inscribed beneath
and the inscriptions. Read ever.
