although it was sickly smile, and
quickly presented the husband of the
infanta with a box of the very best
cigars in the pavilion; the box was OF
polished fine woods. tied with silk rib
bons and locked with silver key.
/. Leaving the Cuban section, the party
embarked in the launch and was ferried
across the grand basin to the manufac-
tures building, where the Spanish sec
ton, still incomplete, was visited.
Through the Moorish arches that roof
this section the visitors passed, to the
admiration OF the biggest crowd OF the
day. From there they went to the
Spanish building upon the lake shore.
Here another big crowd and long
bright carpet stretched across the sand
from the roadway up the steps and
within the building were waiting. As
the royal ones appeared the Twelfth
Infantry band from Saragossa, stationed
in the grove outside, made music and
the thousands cheered.
CHOICE WINES OF OLD SPAIN.
About 200 guests had been hidden to
che building to be received by the in
fants. They included all the foreign
commissioners and the other notables OF
the fair, and they were all present. The
princess, standing in little parlor full
of gilt chairs and EN- powered with palms,
received the most of these. Then the
royal ones and their followers sat down
TO nice collation., which was made more
acceptable by the choicest wines OF
Spein. After they had lunched, the in
vited guests were served. There was
not a bit of formality. The opening of
Spain's building, with its white interior
and groined roof arches, was very jolly
affair.
This function done, the princess went
across the way to Victoria's house,
where, as the guest of the British COM
missioners. her party was entertained
at a 5 O'Clock tea. After this the visit
ors were taken 10 launches to the yacht
Gryphon, which lay at anchor in the
outer harbor, and early in the evening
they returned to the Palmer.
MR.. HARRISON AND BABY M'KEE.
On the 18th of June, in company with
President and Mrs. Palmer, ex- President
Benjamin Harrison and Baby Mckee
visited the fair, the latter guests of the
former. General Harrison came unher-
aided, and therefore was driven through
the gates without attracting much at
tention. Even those who knew him
only few years ago would hardly have
recognized him, as his hair is winter,
his step less elastic and his smile much
sadder. The Grape, therefore, was not
needed to tell the story of the grief that
beats within his heart. 1t was only a
loved best was at his side. She now
loa oIn ord tho
dent will always mourn his loss.
The drive through the park was un-
pretentious. Mrs. L. ". Palmer sat
beside the ex.president. and Baby Nc
Kee, all eyes and ears and fingers, sat
joyously on the lap OF his illustrious
grandfather. They were driven through
out the grounds for awhile and then to
the administration building, where
breakfast had been provided by Presi-
dent Palmer. Aiterward the ex-presi-
dent was taken through a number OF
the buildings, including the manufac-
lures, transportation, horticultural,
mines and mining and others. While
at the administration building he was
called upon by Senator Morrill, of Ver-
mont, President Higinbotham, Secreta-
ry of War Lamont, and a number of
other we'll known people.
After leaving the administration
building, the ex-president was accom-
panied by Mr.. Higinbotham, and the
party walked across the court OF honor
to the waters edge, while others from
the breakfast room etrolled along in the
crowd.
The parties took electric launches for
rides around the lagGoM ma king the
whole tour. In convefsatibh with Mr..
Higinboth&m. Mr.. Harrison, declared
that the scene was fhemost brilliant he
had ever witnessed. !. Z Z. .s.There id no tell
ing" said the ex-president, what the
American people may do. This will not
only prove to, be, the grandest event of
its character ever known, but it will be
the foremost educator of any age. The
people of America should arise as one
man, and make this the most monu-
mental success the world has ever
seen."
While in the manufacturers building
the distinguished company promenaded
incognito the center aisle to the French
portal. Mr.. Harrison turned, honoring
the illustrious European republic by his
first visit. There was wondroua
wealth of things to interest him, and he
stayed very nearly half an hour. The
party went from the manufacturer to
the women's building, where President
Palmer secured secluded section in
Roof Garden cafe for his guests, where
luncheon was partaken OF.
All HA BABY M'KEE.
General Harrison made the tour of
the women's building, and declared that
he was entranced with all that be had
seen. Baby Mckee said it was the big
gest thing that he had ever dreamed of,
although he says he likes geese and
pelicans a little better than the peristyle
and the statue of the republic. There
are those who would question the taste
of Baby Mckee. Needing this the gov
erness often laments that the baby's
tastes are still quite bucolic, and
that he just gets right up
on his feet when anybody
talks of onions and sweet potatoes. She
also says that the Baby Mckee OF
Washington, who was so full of hope
and ambition, and who at one time as
pired to be a statesman and 60 to Eu-
rope as an envoy extraordinary and
plenipotentiary, ia getting to be in In
diana more of Cincinnatus and rather
likes to follow the plow. Indeed, he has
thrown by his books on languages and
statistics and is studying up cucumbers
and tomatoes. b. U. L.
