THE WHITE CITY.
A Well Known Young Lady Of
This City Writes a Breezy
Letter.
CHICAGO. MAY Is SO.

week and l take the first opportunity
to comply with my promise to write.
Time is money here, and we are trying
to see all these combined wonders, in
the space of two weeks, that really
requires months, and then not see all
that is to be seen.
1t is very chilly and disagreeable
and every one you meet is in furs and
heavy wraps, and it will be a month
before things are in a perfect condition
for sight seeing.
The great exposition far excels
anything my imagination could posi-
bly, conceive. jackson park is city OF
white palaces open from Z o'clock in
the morning until 10 o'clock at night.
Last evening as stood gazing about
me / imagined l was in the storied
Alhambra with its soft lights, pendant
pillars. luxuriance of flowers, rich
exotics, and longed for the gift of a
facile pen to describe to the friends at
home the grandeur of these gigantic
buildings. filled with rare and costly
curios, and people from all parts Of the
globe.
The transportation facilities between
the city and fair grounds are of the
best, 100, 200 people per hour can be
carried to and from the grounds with
ease and safety and VIXEN inside O.
jackson park an electric elevated
railroad with electric launches conveys
the visitor to all parts Of the grounds
for % cents.
Then the roller and sedan chairs at
30 cents per hour is great comfort to
tired feet and weary limbs.
Two large pumping plants furnish
the thirsty free of charge with o.
600, 900 gallons OF water per day. AND
there are hundreds of neat and com
Portable waiting rooms Gree of charge,
where YOU can sit and rest As long a.
YOU desire.
FOREIGN EXHIBITS.
The foreign exhibits are magnificent
Germany and France take the lead, i,
my opinion.
The former stands along the lax,
shore and is an ARCHITECTURAL poem.
The Germania group in bronze on s
pedestal one hundred feet high, is :
grand monument. and the chimes in
the clock ZONES here | can never for
get. Their deep, mellow tones ming
ling with the dash of the surf vii
hold You spe!lbound.
The crown jewels, guarded day and
night by the Emperors guardsmen,
and the suite of three rooms. furnished
after rooms in the palace of King
Ludwig, the German Emperor, and
the King OF Saxony. all of the pomp
of royalty and the wealth of a King:
purse is expended. From thi'
magnificent German exhibit. we could
hardly tear ourselves away. 1t is
worth the time and money to see it
alone. France has fine building
and here the ladies mostly gather, t.
behold the display of woman's gown.
and millinery, direct from Paris, and
they are beauties, too. Some article.
valued at thousands of dollars, and
can't tell you how | did long to try
some of them on.
The art palace Is 800 feet
long. Here is the grandest
display of art ever seen at one time,
and right here you could spend Il
month.
AMONG THE TURKS.
In the Turkish village the turbaned
Turk attracts much attention. Here
| saw pieces Of handwork lace and
silk with hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars, also the silver bedsteads at
$50, 900. Fine horses, from the
Sultan's stable and hundreds OF Bel
Onions with their camels. The Midway
Plaisance of which 50 much has been
said and written, Is street 600 feet
wide and a mile long, our guide tells
us. To me it Looked like Bellam,
turne,i loose, crowded with side-shows.
customs Of all nations illustrated.
People from all parts of the worlds are
here exhibiting the manufactures and
products of their native land. There
are great many foreign buildings
and exhibits l would gladly tell you
OF but time fOrbids.
California has fine display. Her
orange pyramid fifty feet high, and
Powers sculpture. The last Of his
race" is very fine.
Kentucky has handsome structure
which does credit to the blue grass
country.
The building is used for a club
house and here l met some of my
friends, whose acquaintance l made
at the Kentucky capital last winter.
