THE FAIR CAN BE SEEN CHEAP
Ticket Agent Brewer OF the Central
Gives Facts and Figures.

Ticket Agent Brewer Of the Central
railroad returned yesterday from a two
/ weeks trim 10 the worlds fair, where he
! was sent by the railroad 10 acquaint him
1 self with information as to accOmmoda
/ tions. etc. In order TO furnish the Cen
/ trails patrons with pointers on the oie
! show and what IL costs 10 take In tho
sights. Mr. Brewer was accompanied on
! the trip by his wife and little daughter.
1T is al nonsense said Mr.. Brewer,
"f0r any one 10 say the fair cannot be
seen on an economical and at the same
time comfortable scale. Those who offer
these claims must have no idea of econ
omy or are naturally eXtravagant.
The cost for myself, wife and
baby for twelve days was only $40. We
stopped at a frst-class boarding house,
took in the fair every day, saw all the
side-shows and ate nded the theater sew
eral nights. OF course, however, was
under no expense for railroad fare, ex-
ceDt sleeping car accommodations, but
the fact that three Of us were in Chicago
twelve days at such a small cost shows
that any one can go there, see everything
and live comfortably for ten days for but
very little over 500 ...
"There are many elegant private board
ing houses in Chicago where room for
two can be had at 81 per day, and there
dIG any uullOtI Vi ADbElS, Oh uDbn ullC
American and European plans which are
giving rates from 81 soto SO 80 per day.
Mr.. Brewer is enthusiastic over the
fair. at is one of the grandest sights l
ever saw or expect TO see again. he
said, "und l advise everybody who can
possibly afford it TO make the trip, if even
for only week. Words cannot tell what
the fair is like 1t must be seen. The
only thing which married 1t to my mind
n a &c 4 ao,,crfa = ba
hibits of the entire world. 1t is the
only missing link in the grand
combination. Florida's exhibit, while
very small, is attracting much attention
and doing that state a great deal of good.
Only few of the buildings are incom-
plete, but yet person can get from their
outline an idea of what they will be when
finished"
A number of Savannahians were at the
fair at the same time Mr.. Brewer was
there, and he tells good joke on we'll
known young lady of this city. In nearly
all the state buildings there are little
houses filed with specimens OF the prod
ucts of the soil supported on
short glass pillars, also packed with these
specimens. In the Ohio building the
young lady, on seeing one of the miniature
to the beautiful little pillar
of Ohio granite. She was so enthusiastic
over its variegated composition that one
of the gentlemen members of the party
went close to the pillar with her to
examine it only to find in place of granite
a glass tube filled with beans peas and
other Ohio products. The young lady
was much chagrined at the result of the
investigation and had' to submit to much
good-natVred guyiug about her eye for
Ohio granite.
Mr. and Mrs Brewer stopped one day
at Lookout Mountain on the return trip,
taking in the scenery of that famous
place. Mr.. Brewer speaks highly of the
railroad accommodations to the fair. He
will be glad to furnish any information
desired and has authority to name rates
at dozens of hotels and boarding houses
in Chicago which he guarantees will be
respected
