respect. The attendance was probably as

Rich and maenifcent as have been the

night have never been equaled; certainly
never in this country have they been sur

was called into play to present scene that

in the Assembly room, and on this occasion
its appearance was that Of one vast floral
bower. From the street below to the inner
most recesses OF the hall there was q pro.
fusion of natures choicest beauties, all
combining to make q picture bewldering
in its details charming in its conception
and harmonious in its development.
The floral bower began with the entrance
on the Madison Square side and extended
to the stairway forming the ascent to the
Assembly chamber above, The lobby it
self was trans ormed inioa veritahle garden
Trellises covered with vines concealed the
walls and arches and shut Off any glimpse
OF the ceiling. The corners of the hall were
broken and concealed bv an exceedingly
tasteful grouping of plants, in which many
blooming flowers were intermingled. The
entrance from Twenty-sxth street was
treated in similarly artistic way.
The place Of honor. the Assembly hall,
WAS, OF course, assigned TO the lnfania and
her suite. And here all that artistic skill
could do haC been ace mplished. This
royal apartment. was made up by making
the three boxes, at the south side nearest
the stage into one, the whole being convert
jecting canopy resembling in the exquisite
ness Of its treatment the interior of a sea

The front stage presented beautiful
sight. Nine private boxes were arranged
there, behind which there appeared con-

naturalness. II was created by an ingenious
grouping OF lofty palms, foliage plants and
jardinieres Of long-stemmed American

Reports of widespread famine in the dis.

cent years about Chinese iamines The gov.
ernment has been giving some relief, but
owing to the great distances of the towns
from one another in shensi and Shansi and
their remoteness from the richer parts of
China, it is very difficult to administer re-
lief efiectually, The peoble are driven to
such desperate straits that the sale of women
and children in the affected districts is be-
coming daily occurrence, while in many
places even male children are being sold by
their parents and in one prefecture it is re.

ing. especially TO any one who has never beei
abroad, are the English locomotives and rail
way carriages. These are the finest used
and the fret, second, and third class SEQ
tions are thrown open 80 ast to admit OF thu
minutest inspection. In this section, also
are q complete Get of the locomotives use,
from the beginning. which illustrate the evo
luton from the days OF the discovery of tn,
possibility Of the steam railroad. Passin.
through this fascinating section, the visito
comes upon carriages OF every kind and va
riety. from the feather weight sulky with
pneumatic tires to the heavy four-horse tally
no coach. and from the lghtest delivery
wagon to the heaviest truck. The Transpor
tation Building may be said to be one II
which the progress made is sufficient TO war
rant visitor spending good deal Of his
time there.
Having seen this building, you may come
by the main entrance and turning to the
right proceed about a rod and then turn to
the lett ana keep by the edge of the lagoon
until you reach the bridge Immediately in
front OF the Electricity Building, when you
may cross over to Wooded Island and take a
look at the Boone and Crockett Clubs cabin.
II is a modest enough log hut. with an Old
canvas-covered wagon in front of it. and the
doorway Is ornamented with old horns. In.
side there are bear and deer skins some old
harness and working utensils. The design is
simple enough, being the illustration OF the
frontier hunters cabin, and is well carried
out. Having inspected this bit of the far
west. you will do well to cross back by the
way you came, as the other attraction of the
island, the Japanese village. is not yet
sufficiently complete to warrant visitor in
spending much time over IL, when there are
so many other more completed displays.
The Mining Building which you find your
self in front OF is hardly worth the expendi-
ture OF much time at present. A few of the
exhibits are partly in place, but others are in
n state of chaos.
The Electricity Building, which IS l....- =

passed by. The outside IL the best part of it,
Inside there is now little to interest one, un-
less he desires TO make astudy Of the process

Next to the ELECTRICITY Building is that OF
Manufactures and Liberal Arts, and into that
you may safely turn with the intention of re-
naming for an hour or n week. Ten days
ago 1t was hardly an eXaggeration to saythat
there were not twenty complete exhibits in
place in this building. but now one-half OF
them are in place and the others begin to
show signs of what they will soon be. Hour
after hour you may walk through rows o.!
exhibits, ranging from pyramids Of tin pans
to parlors of the rarest bronzes and china.
Going up stairs among the liberal arts there
is the same attraction. Where you will
