week or ten days there were grand re
lnonial visits to the fair grounds, and
altogether a perfectly delightful season
was enjoyed by those of the upper ten
dom who were privileged to participate
in the festivities Then Infanta Eu-
lalia burst upon our social horizon in all
her regal splendor and society had an
other round of hobnobbing with roy
atty. The elite of the city reveled for
brief season in the smiles of their
titled guests and fairly jcstled one an
other i'm their efforts to get nearest to
the fair princess. But It is all over and
we are compelled to fall back upon the
lesser lights from abroad. who were for
the time thrown in the shade by the
brighter luminaries of more exalted sta
ton.
The duke and princess having taken
their departure from our city, we can
give our eyes a moments rest and then
look about us upon the palmer but
more satisfying celebrities of ,our own
country Within a few days past
among the visitors at the White City
were noted ex-President Harrison,
Vice President Stevenson, Senator
David b. Hill and a number of other
prominent figures in political and
business circles, and they all pro-
nounced our great exhibition YER
liable city of wonders. 1t is sail that
Mr.. Harrison remarked in private that
he would sooner visit the fair than go
duck shooting. Knowing the ex-presi-
dents great love for his favorite pas
time, we may believe that he thinks the
fair is well worth seeing.
Having recovered from the thorough
dampening received during the recent
heavy rains, the fair is now respleu-
IDENTIFY abloom with the variegated cos
TUNES of all nations. Each day brings
crowds of people from all parts of the
world to view the wonders about which
they have heard and read so much.

GOING TO The EAIr

With pocket full OF money
And a gripsack full Of clothes,
And with kodak loaded
For most anything that shows,
And with enthusiasm
That is way beyond compare,
I'm going 10 Chicago
To be ..in it, at the fair.
III gaze on greater wonders
Than were ever dreamt befc
The world in past and present
am going TO explore.
And all its rarest treasures
VIII appear before my eyes,
Which we're, wish, as many
AS are given TO the flies.
Among the strangest people
In their native streets Ill go
'Mong dwarfs from darkest Africa
And frozen Esquimanx.
Like in the ancient fairy tales
III visit every land
From Greenland's icy mountains
To India's coral strand"
III gain so much OF knowledge
That forever / win be
A bright encyclopedia
In high society;
And folks will crowd around me
When there's silver in my hair
To listen to the story
OF Chicago and her fair.
What care for the trouble
Or discomfort or expense
When fifty million doll RS worth
I'll see for fifty cents;
To miss that biggest thing on earth
Would be lasting crime
lam going TO Chicago
II il takes my bottom dime
The railroad trains are crowded
And the ocean ships are crammed.
The highways are with carriages
And bicycles all jammed;
The lakes, canals and rivers
Haven't any room TO spare
For all the world is going
To Chicago and her fair.
At least a million pocketbooks
Brimmcd full of ready cash,
ia million Saratoga trunks
ar baggagemen TO smash,
And countless bulging gripsacks
Packed with the greatest care,
Are going TO Chicago
To boom along the fair.
Uoo-ray. then. for Columbusl
Three tigers for his fairi
I'm going to Chicago

III feast my eyes on wonders.
With knowledge nil my brain,
And proud III tell the story

of Negro Extraction,

The baseball editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, Sam Mckee, who is
travelling with the team, sends this
to his paper:
There can be little doubt that Tread
way, Baltimore's right fielder, is a
negro. He LOOKS and acts like one, all
the players say he is, and Treadway
has never done anything but acquiesce.
A few years ago negro could not
have played in the big League. A
negro. who was a splendid ball player,
was sighed not so very long ago by
one of the Association clubs. but was
so badly treated by both public and
players that he had to give up and
quit. There seems to be little preju-
dice against Treadway on this account,
however, and il he drops out of the
game it will be simply because he is
