were on the grounds that day was fully
justified by the official figures. The day
was not a lovely n by any means and
yet there was little to complain of. If
not bright or beautiful it was comfortable
and not so very sloppy. The delay in
making ready resulted largely from the
sloppy weather. There were but five
fair days last month. While the North

may not be complete in all of it's decora-
tons for three weeks yet, it is as nearly

and in its decorations is the finest thing
on the grounds. There is nothing equal

The transportation arrangements for
getting to and from the fair are perfect,

Van Buren, street land you at the
grounds in fifteen minutes. AS you
enter the grounds from these trains turn
to the left. 1t is two blocks to the
North Dakota building. A register will
be provided giving your home and city
address, and from theee you should
start on your pilgrimage. Good
luck will go with you. The fare is 10
cents. Come back on the elevated trains.
1t will take longer, but you will need the
rest. The fare is q nickle. The suburban
trains will land you at other parts of the
ground if you desire to reach them at the
start. The cable cars also accomplish
the same result.
