sentative met Mr.. F. \. Sampson,
and obtained his impressions of some
of the Fair. In answer to the ques
ton what interested you the most al
the FAIR he said :,
81 have frequently been asked that
question. but it is one that | can
hardly answer There are so many
things of interest in all of the depart.
ments and of such diverse character
that it is hard to compare one With
another. Perhaps the Manufactures
and Liberal arts buildings having npre
than forty acres of floor space would
interest more persons than any other
and would take longer to see it. This
building would reach from the FIRST
National bank to Broadway, and
nearly as wide. In it are cOntaiIed
articles of artistic manufacture from
all countries and while looking at The
articles on exhibition one can see
something of the natives OF the v,ri.
Gus countries. The persons in
charge of the exhibit generally
are dressed similar to our own people,
but some retain their native dress.
THE EAST INDIANS
of both sexes and the Japanese women
are examples of this.
The farmer would naturally first go
TO the Agricultural building, and the
examination of the displays of the diff.
feren. states would show him IN a
short time the productions OF the va
rious parts OF our country. The inter.
est would be extended by visiting the
displays made by the foreign
countries.
The artist or person who aspires Ia
be an art critic or to be looked on as
understanding painting and sculpture
would have to spend days in nearly
six acres of floor space in the art
building. The ordinary observer can
soon recognize difference in the ex-
hibits of the different countries, and
some of the artists have so much in
their different paintings to character
ize them, that one can tell the pic
lures of some artists as quick as they
are seen.
What plan should one take who
has. say only week to stay at the
Fair?'
They should not attempt to see
everything.
THEY SHOULD GET A CATALOGUE
published by Rand, McNally d Co.,
or another one published for twenty
five cents. either OF these being better
tor person having a short time than
the official catalogues. These will
point out to him the more interesting
objects and he can make up list of
what he wants to see and then hunt
these up without giving much time To
other things. In this way a dav could
he pu, in at the Liberal Arts build
in, one at the Agricultural and Ma.
chinery buildings, one at the Mining
and Electrical building, one at the
Horticultural and Woman's buildings,
one at the foreign and state building.,
and exhibits not mentioned. II one
mad only six days the above wouH
have to be squeezed into one less. and
this day taken for the Midway
Piaisance.
What about the last place. Is it
part of the Fair, and is it a place
where any person can take his lady
friends"
1T is tract Of land one mile long
at right angles to the other grounGs.
1t is enclosed as part of the Fair
grounds and any person
WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE,
can walk through the whole length Of
it, and see very much of interest both
OF objects and of people without pay
ing a cent. There are enclosures cos
tanning villages representative OF all
parts OF the world, and to get in these
a person will have to pay from ten to
twenty-five cents. After he is in be
will generally find a theater or some
other place to enter which he will
have to pay twenty-five cents more
The most of these exhibits are well
worth the cost of seeing them, be-
cause one can get al idea of foreign
places, people and customs that could
otherwise be got only by travel in
foreign lands.

of Cairo jus, at the time of wedding
procession and this was of very great
