Ti.RQ5 WORTH SEEING At THE
WORLDS FAIR.
Where To Eat, Etc.

Between the Live Stock pavilion
and the windmills, south of the great
Agricultural building and overlook
ing tho lagoon, stands a large rectan-
gular structure called the French
Bakery. Here are exhibited wonder
ful bread making machines Zone of
which is capable of furnishing the
staff of life to 100000 people each
day. and ovens of French manufact-
ure, WHICH are a revelation to our
bakers.
"The proof Of the pudding is the
eating" as the old saw has it, and
the proof of machinery is the quality
of the articles produced; therefore the
exhibitors are manufacturing bread
and pastry of every description before
the eyes of the spectators. They sell
these goods at a nominal rate, and
serve you the best cup of coffee on
the grounds for nickel. Not salts
fed with this iberality considering
that they have to pay As pr cent.
blood money to the Exposition they
offer free ride on the Intramural
railway to every one of their patrons
spending thirty cents at the bakery.
In other words, a person gets thirty
cents worth Of the fines French
bakery goods for twenty cents which
is the best argument why visitors
should By all means patronize this,
the fairest and squarest of all eating
places at the Fair.
| Using the Intramural ticket thus
provided by the liberal management
of the French Bakery, and taking a
moth bound train, one should stop at
the Midway station. Passing many
interesting shows previously des-
cribed in these columns, we come to
circular edifce, ornamented with a
delicately carved wooden facade, the
famous Panorama of the Swiss Alps.
| 1t took thirty months and twenty-five
eminent artists to paint this huge
canvas, which measures 500 feet in
| diameter and stands sixty-fve feet
high, making it the largest painting
ever conceived and accomplished.
So faultless is this magnificent repro
duction of the wonderful Bernese
Alps, that one can readily transport
oneself in Switzerland, away from the
din and nose of Midway Plaisance.
A delightful Swiss trio of Alpine
singers and genuine Alpenhorn artist
add yet to the illusion. This stupen-
dous work was executed purposely
for the Worlds Fair, and is the only
exhibit at the Midway Plaisance that
has obtained medal from the jury
of fine arts. This very fact is sufi
cient proof that the Swiss Alps pan
Drama is one of the best exhibitors on
the grounds and should not be miss
ed by any visitor to the Fair.
Leaving the panorama in westec-
| ly direction and to the right of the
great Ferris wheel, we come to an
other marvel of French skill, the
Eiffel tower exhibit. The great sue
cess of the Paris exposition in 1889
(which numbered total attendance
Of 4,O0O,00O was due in lareg meas
ure, to the celebrated Eitfel tower,
nearly 1000 feet high. A French
engineer, Mr.. G. DuPasquier, exhibits
here an absolute correct reproduction
of this gigantic tower. This min
iature copy cost 100000, is COM
posed of over 100000 pieces of bronze
and is justly considered the most
complete aad most artistic reproduce
ion known. There can be seen eleya-
ors running to the several platforms,
a revolving search light on top of the
tower, over LOCO of the smallest in
candescent electric lamps ever made,
living gardens crowded with pigmy
people and better yet, an electric
fountain spouting several hundred
fancy colored water Jets. This work
is so astounding in it's scope that it is
impossible to describe it adequately
either with tongue or pen. To add
to the comfort of the spectators, the
management has established cafe
in Partisan style where the inner-man
can be accommodated and from which
a magnificent view of the Ferris wheel
and Midway Plaisance is obtained.
