At the Worlds Fair.


Like the lingering impression of an elegant
feast where the assortment of rich viands al
most clogs the appetite is the memory of the
Great Fair. After the banquet We sometimes
long tor some one tempting dish which in the
profusion was but tasted, and think what a
feast in ltss.fit would be at the present mo
ment: So almost any single feature of the
Great Chicago show would afford an agreeable
entertainment for . halfholiday.
In the last issue We attempted to give an
outline of the most promi .ent attractions that
delighted the editorial party in the "Windy
City," it 10 our purpose now to say something
of the interesting exhibitions that cluster
about the Worlds Fair proper. There are
fcrty-,wo foreign nations represented by three
hundred and twenty-seven individuals. These
men are from all parts of the world. The fol-
lowing list comprises some Of the principal con
cessions or side shows, most of which arr To-
Gated in Midway Piaisarce within the enclos-

The editorial party was invited TO visit in a
body the Turkish theatre whore perform
aucs such as may be seen in Const.ntinople
was given by the Orientals. 1t was very IN
teresting to see these foreigners in their naive
costumes, to listen to their primitive music
and songs, and to witness their theatrical per
formances which were quite realistic and strik
ing TLsre were dancing girls from the region
around BethlaheM and expert sWordsmen
with keen Damascus bl. des from Palestine.
A popularity of the oriental dances is that near
ly every muscle of the body is male TO keep
time with the music, and yet the movements
of the dancers is full Of race.
The Esquimaux folm unique feature OF
the Fair. Here are these uncouth beings,
men, women and children-clad in native cos
tunes indulsing in their native pasiimes and
as far as can shown occupied in their ma
tive pursuits. They are equipped with sle.is
and a fine collection of noble dogs, with boats
and other implements used in fishing and
hunting.
The Mosem can be seen worshiping IN his
mosque, aud just few steps away the ''hea-
then Chineev bows to idols in the joss
house. Japanese merchants from San Fran
CISCO shrewd and clever, offer beautiful wares
for sale on one side of the Plaisance, while on
the opposite side children from the Emerald
Isle frisk and frolic in real Irish village with

acteristic surroundings. You look on enc
hand and see sturdy Turks carrying the sway
ing sedan; and on the other . hugh Scottish
Highlander, clothed in the garb Of bis native
aills and playing Oh the bag pipe, may jostle
you as he passes. The panorama OF the Der
nese Alps, the most beautiful mountain scene
ry in the world, delays the visitor for an half
hour of sweet reverie, and then by going a
few PAGES his wonder can be excited by seeing
a lion ride ahorse, pig playing marbles, and
tiger manipulate a bicycle. Such is Chicago,
such is the Falr-a world of wonders.
