DEARLY BELOVED
One who expects to remain in Chicago
a week or more visiting the big show
will save money by taking a day il neces-
sary to secure accommodations, pr0vid- !
ing that they have not already done SO
before their arrival. One acquainted in
the city will save much OF this trouble
by securing quarters in advance. But,
as previously limited. it is not at all
necessary, and before engaging quarters
at a stiff rate one lad better look up ac-
commodations in person after their
arrival. Providing one arrives in the
city in the morning they a get their
light baggage checked at any hotel, after
dropping into any restaurant for break
fast, and then start out in search of
lodgings. II one prefers to stop in the
vicinity of the fair grounds they can
find plenty of desirable places by taking
anyone of the transportation lines run
ming to South Chicago. There are so
many ways of obtaining accommodations
with but little trouble that l will leave
the details to the intelligence OF those
interested. l can but reiterate what !
have said in a previous letter, that every
thing else being equal-that is. in regard
to price-I would prefer quarters down
town rather than in the %neighborhcod of
the fair. 1t only costs 5 cents to reach
the grounds by the elevated road or the
Wabash ave. cable cars or 10 cents by the
Illinois Central. None of the lines are
crowded. The ladies want to do more or
less shopping, gentlemen have business
to attend to, restaurants are better and
cheaper, and the short time it takes to
make the trip counts for nothing.
The railroad companies and hotel pro-
prietors advise everybody to take nothing
but light baggage. The reason for this
is plain-less work for the same money.
There isn't the slightest reason in the
world why one should not take a trunk
or as many of them as they please, and
no more danger Of loss or miscarriage
than at any other time. 1t is always a
good plan, by the way. when travelling
to have your name and address on your
trunk or other baggage and a particular

board all incoming trains and exchange
checks for transfers. Visitors to the fair
