W0RlD,s FAIR NOTES.
A Few Pointers About Chlcar.

A Few Pointers About Chicago.
As a great many readers OF the Trtr.
GRAM will make their first trip 10 Ghic,,.
go during the Worlds Fair, a few point.
ers regarding the geography OF the CITY
VIII be appreciated. In the first place.
Tx firmly in your mind the fact that
Lake Michigan forms the eastern
boundary of the entire city, and If Won
stand facing the lake with both arms
outstretched, the left hand will point to
the North Pole and the right hand viii
point straight down the tracks OF the
Big Four Route TO tile Worlds Fair
Buildings, situated at the southern end
OF the city. Paste this in your hat and
you have: the key to MISREPRESENTATION.
Coming into Chicago on trans of the
Big -Four Route, whichis. the only rail-
road having I'm ettrance OH the south
side along the lake front, where all the
hotels aud boarding houses are located.
you Will lind yourself passing practically
through the Exposition Grounds and a
magnificent panoramic view Of the Fair
is obtained.
At the Worlds Fair Station of the
Big -Four Route, if You step off ut the
right side, you are ut the entrance -ate
TO the Exposition and can begin doing
the Fair at once; ii you step off on Tie
left side, you will find yourself in the
finest residence portion of Chicago. and
right in the midst of the Worlds Fair
hotel and boarding house district The
chances are ten toone you will be within
few minutes walk OF the very place
you hayeselected for your headoiarters.
lyon prefer TO go down town, ten
minutes ride will BRING you to the new
Twelfth Street Stationin the heart OF
the city. Now bear in mind the mani.
lest advantage of entering Chicago on
the Big -Four Route In. the first place
you avoid entirely the bother and
trouble oil ia tedious transfer across the
city, which is necessary via an other
l5nes, being landed directly at the Ex-
position Grounds. an advantage offered
by no other line; and IN the second
place you can so tx the geography az
the city in your mind that you will at
once become as familiar with Chicago
as you are with your own town.
Another point in favor of the Rig
-Four Route is found in the fact that II
You enter Cincinnati on the Queen &
Crescent Route, Louisville & Nashville

peake 4 Ohio Ry., or Baltimore & Ohio

confederate dead are dear to the
