There are some facts about Chicago and
the fair which every hesitating American
| ought TO know. They have often been
published. and l have mentioned them.
but as there are just now some indications
that many people are debating about a
Trip hither they deserve at least one more
publication. The first Is the ease and
cheapness with which one may get from
my part Of the city to the grounds. From
the legion OF new hotels in Hyde Park one
can walk in from five to fifteen minutes.
From any part Of that division known as
the south side, meaning south Of the
main river and east of the southern
branch thereof. he can ride on the street
cars for five cents, i'll a time varying from
a quarter of an hour TO an hour and
quarter, while from the remotest sec
tions of the north side and west side only
another nickel fare is needed
-.
ANY one who is not a cripple can make
the Illinois Central station in fifteen min
utes from any place in the heart of the
city, and for ten cents can reach the gates
of the White city in few minutes. But
the incest "trip, all things considered, is by
boat from the landings on the lake front.
One is thoroughly cooled, rested, and re
freshed, and enters the central section Of
the fair with a fine appetite for walking
and sightseeing. And on all the grounds
there il no more delightful place of after
moons and evenings than the slope and
walk along the shore In the morning the
sun beats on it little too powerfully.
Passing out of the group of state build
ings at the northeast corner Of the
grounds-on the lake side porch of sew
eral of these is delightful place of rest
one can walk far to the southeast with the
blue-green waters of Lake Michigan to
his left and to his right in their turn the
buildings of France. Ceylon, Norway,
Germany, Spain, Canada and Great
Britain.

The greatest discovery man can make
at this fair is TO discover himself That Is,
he finds himself capable of enjoying many
RI hluBs he had previously taken no inter
est in. And not only does he awake to
many new beauties, but in time finds in
himself new capacities. For instance,
have recently discovered that have some
iaste in art. Neither ! nor my best
friends had ever suspected it, but it must
have been concealed about my person
somewhere, for every day l walk around
any hig building discover new beauties
in the exterior decorations. and every time
l visit the Fine Arts rooms am delighted
