Stutsman, a mistake has been made by
not having the photographs show actual
farm operations. These photographs
make an attractive display and are IN
themselves splendid advertisements of
the country. Photographs taken before
July lst can yet be shown with the
states various exhibits and an organized
effort by counties should be made in
this direction before it is too late.
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS.
The question OF entertaining the thous-
ands of people who will come to the fair
has received a great deal of attention.
About $50 hotels have been erected ad-
jacent to the grounds. Some of these
are substantial, but most of them are of
most fimsy construction. Don't engage
quarters in any Of them unless you
know from personal knowledge or
through some friend that you are not
going to a building, called a hotel, that
would be about as commodious as the
old stage barn with 500 beds in it, &C.
cupied by as many different classes Of
humanity. Some of the new hotels are
we'll constructed, built for permanency,
to be used as apartment houses or sum-
mer hotels after the fair is over. Ira
DeCamp, who formerly managed the
Columbia at Fargo, is in charge of a new
hotel here, the Hayes house, built of
brick and even more modern in con-
struction and appointments than the
Columbia. The Hayes is located con
veniently to the main entrance to the
grounds, and as Ira knows the needs of
North Dakotans he has prepared to sup
ply them at an expense much below the
exhorbitant prices charged by others. If
you are coming to the fair write to him
and engage your rooms in advance.
ANXIOUS TO SEE DAKoTA's EXHIBIT.
The North Dakota state building
would be crowded with visitors every
day if the sign "keep out" was not on
the front door. Word has gone out
around the grounds that they have some
grain artists at the North Dakota state
headquarters and the visitors and those
interested in the displays of other
states ask only to be giving a peep at
the inside. But this has been denied,
except to those from the state, until all
is IN readiness, which will be much
earlier than very many of the other
| agricultural states. CAPE.
A Successful Opening.

Almost from daylight Michigan ave.
nue.. that grand gateway to the fair, the
pride and admiration of its visitors at
home and abroad, was alive with pc.
destrians and vehiclesof subscriptions,
In their sleeping chambers ON the sec
ond floor of the Auditorium, the Duke
Of Veragua and his party, even before
they had arisen, could hear the contin'
uou rumble of wheels. the hoarse
shouts of the drivers, and the mcessant
chatter Of the pedestrians. Even while
the duke was bidding a hearty good
morning to the members of his suite, 8
local band, animated by a spirit Of
courtesy and good cheer toward the de
scendant of the illustrious discoverer
had already arranged itself under the
portico of the hotel and given a few
toots preliminary to
Serenade of Spanish Airs
that served to whet the appetites of the
b~reakfasters. By the time the mea1
was concluded a committee of escort
had put in an appearance. and, afte,
greetings had been exchanged, the
members of the ducal party were shown
to their carriages. 1t had originally
been intended that the parade should
form at the Auditorium and pick ur
the president and his cabinet when the
Lexington hotel had been reached, but
questions of diplomatic usage and
etiquette were interposed, and it was
determined that the ducal party should
rendezvous at the Lexington and that
the parade should start from that point.
It was $3.50 when the party left the
Auditorium and ten minutes later they
were shaking hands with President
Cleveland in the blue parlor Of the
Lexington.
Stevenson and Party Arrive.
While the handshaking was in pro.
gress Vice President Stevenson and his
party, which had been hurried out O.
the Palmer House under conditions
similar to those experienced by the
guests of the Auditorium, put in an ap
pearance. On their heels came the
members Of the national commission,
and the fair directors who were to
act as hosts and escorts to the dis.
tinguished guests on a memorable day.
Meanwhile the procession was in course
Of formation on the avenu north of its
intersection with Twenty-second street,
and promptly at 8 o'clock, right on the
moment set in the official orders, Major
T. A. Baldwin, Of the Seventh United
States cavalry, in command of the es
corting division, was preparing to give
the signal for the procession to move.
