THREE DAYS AT THE FAIR.
A Correspondent Tells a Visitor How 10 See
II in That Time.
Should n have SO limited q time as
three days for the exposition, says a
correspondent of the Indianapolis
News, and it be possible, select q time
when the night sessions are held. The
first and best thing to do on reaching
the grounds is to make o Decline for
your own state building. There are
several good reasons for this. In the
first place you place your name on its
m opportunity to find you. Then each
state building serves as a meeting place
who visit the exposition. Moreover,
each one must see his own state build
ing while at the exposition. From
boat landing at the fisheries building,
and ride from one end Of the grounds
to the other for eb cents, stopping for q
moment at the landings of each of the
great buildings With this trip o
will have located each principal build
ing, beginning with the foreign build
ings punched together, with the naval
exhibit, including the ship of war, and
light house and life saving station at
the beginning of the trip. After this
trip it is advisable to go at once to the
department in which you are especially
interested. Everyone Will care more
particularly for one line ofexhibit than
for another, and no one ever can see or
will stay long enough to see everything
at the exposition. 1t is appalling TO
think of attempting it. Only such ex-
hibits as possess intrinsic attraction for
you yourself are the ones to devote
time and attention to. A view of the
worlds fair will be easy enough to get
in a cursory glance on one trip through
all the buildings, which every visitor
should take ut least once if possible.
But first, most and best time must be
devoted to the one thing, or
two things in which he is in
terested. After this devote
as much time as possible to
the art, manufacturers and liberal arts,
the horticultural and government ex-
hibits of our own country To the Amer
lean who has never been around the
world, the foreign buildings and Mid
way plaisance will be a great attrac-
ton, and the whole day spent with
these will not be too much time out of
the three days trip.
The Second Days Program.
The day spent here should be begun
at the west end of the Midway plat
sancc. These attractions will all speak
for themselves, as they are labeled with
large signs and their gates surrounded
with their own peculiar jabbering peo-
pie. Coming out of the Midway
plaisancc, acros the lagoon by
the women's building and on the
wooded island, visit the Hooden, a col
lection OF Japanese buildings. These
together with the specimens of the
Japanese Landscape gardening, are the
most celebrated OF the fair. A little
to the northeast of these is the Japan
csc tea house and garden, where you
may have an opportunity to take a cup
OF the best Japan tea served with a
Japanese cake-both totally unknown
to foreigner9-in a ceremonial tea sa-
loon, served by Japanese ladies, with
he mahy curious tea ceremonies.
From here you are in sight of
all other foreign buildings, which
are grouped together at this
point, and day will be well-nigh gone
before you have hurried through half
OF them Should one be exhausted and
need a rest before further sightseeing,
they can stop an hour in the music hall
near the casino, listening to the Thom-
Us orchestra at II o'clock in the morn
lug, or an hour in the afternoon, be-

listening to the festival choruscs, or
enjoy an open-air concert near the
administration building, given contin-
ually by two bands from Germany,
who play an hour each, turn about.
The Third Days Doings.
A third day can be p~rofitably spent
in what is called by Chicago news
papers the Back Yard" This con-
tains the convent of La Rabids, which
is of great popular interest, rs it con-
tains all the relics of Columbus. The
department Of archaeology is also here,
which includes the exhibit OF Yucatan
ruins, in six sections, the cliff dwcllers'
exhibit and the anthropologicnl build
ings, which deal with hygiene, SANTA
ton, etc. Here also is located the bureau
of charities and corrections. Other
things of interest in this department
are tho Krupp gun, forestry building the
dairy, live stock department and the
private manufacturing exhibit.
10 be sure, the architecture, sculp-
ture and decoration, the landscape gar
dening end the beautiful s%tatuary. will
all be noted as one makes their way
about the grounds from one building
to another. So that while one has seen
but the beginning in three days, they
may claim to have a very fair idea Of
the worlds fair.
