see the Fair thoroughly in one week ?'
In answer to this auerry We would say,
that if one goes at it Systematically,
not squandering too much time retrac-
ing their steps, they can get a pretty
good view Of the Worlds Fair i'll one
week. Beginning Monday morning
they can enter the grounds at $50 from
the elevated railroad at 63rd street en-
trance. The first thing that strikes
the newcomer with awe is the Admin
istration building with its monstrous
gilt dome towering majestically above
the terminal station on the west, the
Machinery hall on the south, and the
Mining and Electricity buildings on
north. The visitor naturally turns to
the left when that gorgeous spectacle,
the transportation building, stands out
conspicuously from the white building
near it. Passing through the court of
honor on the left between the Admin
istration building and the Electricity
building, one comes our to the front Of
the grand basin. Here they stop. The
scene holds even the best travelled per-
son in thrall: McMennics' fountain
throws giant streams of spray into the
basin, while facing you from the east
end towers the statue of Liberty en-
stands the finest peristyle in all the
world. After few moments of silent
admiration of the scene in the court
of honor, you cross the bridge over the
lagoon and view the largest building in
the world, the Manufacturers and Ii
beral Arts building. Passing north
through its wide perches you come to
the Government building which stands
in large square. You still continue
north, crossing the vast channel Of the
lagoon when you come to the Fisheries.
After hurried glance at this beautiful
structure you turn west and before you
stands the Illinois building. This is
one of the largest State building on the
ground. You next visit the Woman's
building, and then the Children 3
home. Coming south again you next
sec the Horticultural Hall and still far
! ther south comes the Festival Hall,
and then the transportation building,
the place you started from. This is a
big days work; but person can get
good view of the grounds and build
ings in one day if they take this plan,
and they will not retrace their steps
once. Tuesday a person should devote
to the Manufacturers building alone
Starting at the southwest on the main
floor and take the aisles north straight
through the building, and then the CEN
ter ais!es south The most interesting
things in this building are the Italian
marble work at the south side, the
German and ivory carving on the left
center aisle, the French section entire,
the Austrian jewels i'll the northeast
portion OF the building, and King Lug
wig, the king Of Bavaria's suite of rooms
inca" the center aisle and well toward
the north of the building, There is also
| q diamond exhibit from some New York
| firm in the northeast section of pavilion
| d which it is well worth ones time to
| inspect OF course there is much more
in this building, but these are the
fiuest displays. Wednesday one should
visit the M MachiEery Hall, Agricultural
and Forestry buildings. Many persons
have examined these buildings pretty
thoroughly in one day. Thursday
should be devoted to the Transporter
ton, Horticultural and the Woman's
and Children S buildings. (By ali means
visit the ciildren's pretty little hone,)
and the Mining building. Friday one
should 90 down 10 the grounds either by
the Illinois central or cable ears, which
land YOU al the 51th street entrance.
There commences the row Of State
bindings, most Of which circle around
the orth part Of the grounds. One
day Will snilice to give a short lnspee-
ton of the State buildings and the
Foreign buildings which are mostly To-
Gated on the Lake front. It is wise 10
devote Thursday evening to viewing
the fireworks on the lake frant, and
afterwards seeing the wonderful cleo
tr!cfaunt tainS which play immediately
