| ed several very pleasant days at the
Worlds Fair last week. 1t mas been
rightly termed the White City, and II
seemed to us one of the most beautiful
scenes one may be permitted to look
upon In this terrestrial sphere. Many
of our contemporaries have written up
the fair, but we should as soon tackle
the armament. One admires most OF
all the nerve Of the men who invested
such vast millions in an uncertain spec
ulation. Stupendous buildings, miles
of paved walk, acres of landscape
gardening, all to fall into disuse and tc
become practically valueless after Oct
3lst You have read many columns
and seen many illustrations descriptive
of the magic city, hut, dear reader, you
have and can have no idea of the i'm.
mensity of the Worlds Fair plant un
til you look upon IT for yourself. You
have read that the manufactures build
ing covers forty acres, but this gives
you no conception of its gigantic yet
well proportional dimensions. Every
thing is on scale incomprebensihl Il
the mind injured TO pastoral scenes
There is surprise and wonderment on
every hand, as well as things to instruct
and excite admiration. 1t Is a pleas.
ant place In oil respects. The Grove
may be characterized as similar to thai
of big picnic, orderly, courteous and
uniformly good natured. 1t is SO wei
distributed that you are Seldom jostleC
or Inconvenience, After a busy da,
of sight seeing comes the exquisite de
light of comfortable seat from which
to watch the illumination. The AID
ministration, Agricultural and Manu-
facturers Building, and the Perstile
which surround the grand basin, art
Illuminated by thousands upon thous
ands of electric lights, strong search
lights are thrown FROM one piece oil
statuary TO another, while electric foun
tains, with ever changing form and
color play In front of the administra
ton building. In the lagoon electric
launches softly glide and stralns OF
music come from YOU scarcely know
%here. 1t Ia an enhancing scene
which IL one saw In his dreams, would
be Incredible, but it exists at the fair
