The 6fst feeling Of stranger en-
tering the gates at jackson Park il
that Of speeohless ave, Of insrtioula,s
establishment, OF voioeless wonder, OF
dumb admiration. Stretching away
on every hand, with magnificent
temples Of snowy whiteness, colossal
pillars and titanic domes, Drowned By
luminous halo Of sunshine or yelled By
pearly gray mists, which on somber
days beat about those st1pendous
submits Ike winged oouriess Of the
sky above some Alpine peak. There
are palaces there more magnificent
than ever crowned Athens OF Rome
in their palmiest days. The marvel
Gus beauty Of Venice has been sur
passed in this little world 1t Jackson
Park. Ono is puzzled which to ad.
miro most in tho mighty congress OF
peerless struotares that grace the 600
arches Of this park. The e.inspir>
ing proportions Of the Liberal Arts
building present = strong contrast to
tho Administration building, with lie
towering dome overlooking al the
rest. One gazes loneingly and low
i"gly at the severely classical facade
Of the Fine Arts buildings. and returns
to It sRsin and sgsin. II covers ten
acres of ground, aud is 90 perfect in
proportion and 90 classic in design
that it has been pronounced the
grandest piece Of all tho group.
1t the visitor should enter the
ground At the Fifty.seventh stree.
gate. the first building to stissc, hi.
attention il the South Dakota building.
This 10 ono OF tho oldest and cost
typical buildings within the grounds,
inasmuch a. it not only repre- SCENTS
in appearance the Black Hills, but IL
characteristic of its country in every
sense. The Black Hills have q world
wide reputation already, and no
trouble and expense have been spared
by tho thrifty people of this State to
make their exhibition one long to he
remembered by every visitor.
In outward appearance the building
is dark gray. almost black. stone.
Il has . massively diani6ed look, a.
though il would fain frown upon the
frivolous white and gay oolored struc-
lures around il.
In tho mineral exhibit no other
State in the Union has so great disc
play ~ South Dakota. Specimens of
every kind Of ore found in the State
have been placed artis.ic.lly in paw.
lion in the mining building, while a
miniature cave, represr n,ing the
Crystal cave Of the Black Hills, is be.
ing made underneath tho dome of the
Horticultural Hall. This cave 10 to
DO adorned with about zoo, 900 pounds
OF stalactite gathered from the
original cave.
Truly tho people Of South Dakota
may we'll DO proud OF their part in the
Columbian Exposition.
The Sultan from Jehore will be at
tho Fair in great .tate. He will array
himself in about 100000 worth of
jewels. and will bring with him royal
retinue. and will ,trive to demonstrate
by bis method of living while IN
Chicago, what tho home life of the
Eastern nabob is like. He will bring
with him several wsh wah birds, and
three or four jubbonacks, which will
nest in tho bamboo trees with which
tho japanese village is planted. The
wah wah birds are . cross between .
parrot aud . nightingale, and are said
to DO rare imitasors of human songs
and sounds. A number of native
princes with their attendants and
squipsses are also coming With the
Sultan. Americana viii have plenty
OF chances next summer to shake
hands with everv kind OF city or
country cousin from across the waters.
