St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1893-05-06

ministration building, and then for Ma
chinery hall. We cannot nor could
not make any sort of a complete inspec-
tion of this building if we put in every
day here during the fair, but we will
take layman's look about. From here
we pass to the stock pavilion. In this
vicinity are gathered oil and lumber ex-
hibits, etc.
Passing toward the south end of the
grounds, we look at the displays Of agri-
cultural implements, windmills, ETC.,
and this brings us to the dairy barns
and on to the great stock exhibit. When
we have gone through that, we return
by way of the power house to the south
east corner of the grounds. Here are
the forestry, dairy and leather exhibits
in succession.
Passing the great Krupp gun exhibit,
we come to an Indian school, and be-
yond, on the point, is the Monasterio de
La Rabida, q reproduction of the convent
in Spain of that name, in which Colum-
bus once took refuge in time of trouble,
and where he is said to have evolved his
theories as to the existence of the west
ern world.
Crossing a bridge, we come to the
Agricultural building. Here is where
farmers will gather and study and dis
cuss new ways and means Of making the
soil give full returns for their labor.
Now let us go over to the Casino, cross
to Music hall and find our way into the
Manufactures and Liberal Arts building,
which is the largest structure of the ex-
position and contains enough to keep
the visitor busy investigating for months
and months, and investigating in very
casual way at that. From here we go
through the Government building, then
to the naval exhibit, and here we are at
North pier. It is but short walk from
here, past some of the foreign buildings,
to the fisheries exhibit. This is very IN
teresting, of course, and here we see just
how the government stocks our fshed
out streams and lakes and ponds.
The Art Galleries and State Buildings
We will go now to the Art galleries,
stopping at the Illinois building en-
route. This edifce will see lots of visi-
tors on Illinois day. That dome sets off
the pile to good advantage, doesn't it?
On the way to the Art galleries we pass
also the state buildings Of Indiana, Cali
fornia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan
and Ohio. Our tour of the Art galleries
takes long time, of course. And now
we have been through all the mai,
buildings. Now walk through tbl
north end of the grounds, where all the
state buildings are located, and a special
visit to the Eskimos and the building of
our native state, and we walk south
again.
Here, in the long stretch of ground be-
tween the gate and Cottage Grove ave
nue., are gathered miscellaneous exhibits
and amusements Of various kinds, for
seeing and indulging in which one pays
fees varying from 10 to 25 cents, and in
the cases of the Hagenbeck animal show,
the panorama of Kilauea and the captive
balloon more are charged. Seats to see
the performances at the animal show all
cost from 80 cents to 81. The panorama
fee is so cents, and the trip in the cap
tive balloon costs the visitor So.
Well, what have we on this side as we
walk out toward Cottage Grove avenue3
Here ON the left we pass the Irish village
exhibit, the Hagenbeck animal show,
the Dutch settlement there's more of
this on the other side Of the plaisance,
you see), the natatorium, the panorama
of the Bernese Alps and the Turkish vii
Iage. This is the Moorish palace There
is 81 100000 in gold coin exhibited in
there.
Now we come to the ice railway, and
next to the Chinese teahouse, passing by
the French cider press, the fire and guard
station, and two or three minor exhibits, |
and here we are at the Austrian village
am more interested, however, in the
Dahomeyan village just beyond. These
are some of the colored ladies who have
had disagreements with our French
friends. Along here are the Roman
house, the Hungarian orpheum and
other things, and these passed we arrive
at the nursery exhibit and at the end Of
Midway plaisance.
Poor Lo and His Cousins.
Here on the way back we find Poor Lo
and his cousins from India hobnobbing
together in adjoining villages, next to
