steer for corners remote from the
throng, and when they think no one is
looking reach into their inside pockets
and draw forth adult-sized sandwiches
which they speedily dispatch and re-
sumo their tour of sightseeing.
There will soon be better outlook
for provender, however, for the rigid
investigation of the fair officials into
cases of extortion has put the restau.
rateurs on their good behavior, and the
action of the people in boycotting the
restaurants has had a salutary effect,
SO that the difficulty some have expert
enced in obtaining creature comforts at
moderate prices will soon be overcome
and it will be no longer necessary to
load ones self down with food or trans
form ones self into a perambulating
commissary when contemplating a visit
to the worlds fair.
Those gay and festive gondoliers,
about whom there has been so much
talk, are now busily plying their oars
about the lagoon. AS their boats skim
along with their bright colored stream
ers trailing in the water behind them
and their gaudy hangings fiuttering in
the breeze they remind one of the
pictures of Venice in the art galleries.
These sunburned sons of Italy are gath
ering in American coin at great rate,
for the gondola has become very popu.
lar with pleasure seekers from alllands.
Among the most novel modes of con.
veyance at the fair is the sedan chair
which is fast growing in favor among
young women of an aesthetic turn OF
mind. 1t takes two strong Turks tc
handle one of these oriental carriages
and now that the weather is getting
warm the eXertion makes them per
spire very freely. Occasionally some
young man with taste for luxury will
engage one of the chairs, and as he is
logged along he will sportively stick
his feet out of the windows and assume
an air of utter languor for the express
benefit of those who are trudging along
on foot. Such a scene never fails tc
create q great deal of fun, and every
body joins in the laugh. Good nature
seems to possess everybody who visits
the fair.
Outside of the fair grounds the fakir.
and peddlers fairly swarm, and the dir
they keep up in calling their wares ant
attractions is enough to ruin an cal
trumpet. Everything in the shape O
souvenirs is there in great profusion
badges, books and what-not. Here tn,

the week has not been large enough
to crowd the grounds, and the
going has been constantly improv-
ing SO that the discomforts of the
first day have almost entirely dis
appeared, and visit to the fair
is now much more pleasurable. Each
day brings forth some new attrac-
lions as the exhibits are unpacked and
installed and fresh features of interest
are constantly being added about the
grounds.
The electric fountains and search lights
have been completed and are now in OPP
Grafton at night and the displays are
perfectly dazzling. The gilded statue
of the Republic and the dome of the Adj
ministration building CLINT in the flash
ing light and the whole city of white is
flooded with splendor These displays
undoubtedly surpass anything of the
kind ever witnessed before, and their
magnifcence will be one of the great
est wonders of the fair when COM
,)leted. The search lights are stationed
on the Agricultural building and by
their aid the whole country for miles
around can be illuminated. In addition
to these there are many great arc lights
which lend their brilliancy to the scene.
Those portions of the fair which still
remain unfinished are now receiving
the attention of doubled force of
workmen, who are putting forth every
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1893-05-24

effort to bring them to completion. Day
and night the work goes on almost un-
ceasingly, one force relieving the other
at regular intervals, scarcely losing a
moment, so eager are the exhibitors to
reach the completion of their tasks and
have everything in shape as soon as
possible,
The exhibits are still coming in from
every direction, and as fast as they ar
rive they are seized upon by their own
ers and conveyed to their respective de-
partments. in most of the large build
ings great piles of boxes await their
turn to be relieved of their contents,
and as fast as they are taken away 9th
ers arrive to take their places.
When one views the immensely of
space that is to be covered by the ex-
hibits of all kinds it seems an intermin-
able task to fill it, and it hardly seems

possible to get things arranged within
the time allowed for the completion of
exhibits; but, Judging from what has
already been accomplished, but little
further time will be needed to finish
the work of installation.
There is just about as much 20 inter
est one in viewing the people at work
at the fair as there would be were it all
finished When it is all done there will
be the display of products, curios, etc,
but at present there is much to be
learned in the different methods of
doing things in vogue among the
various nations. 1t has been said by q
crca, many OF the early visitors at the
fair tina. they wouldn't have missed

REFUSED PASSES,
Papers That Have MalIgned the Exposi.
ton Unknowingly Reject Courtcsics.

Adpers mat nave Malgned the ExpOsi.
ton Unknowingly Reject Courtesies.
The papers that have been for the
last two years maligning Chicago and
the worlds fair have learned that for
once they have been checkmated. The
papers that exhibited the most malig-
nant spirit have been the ones to make
the first demands upon Maj Handy for
passes. Their requests would proba-
bly, have been granted had common
civility been displayed; as it is they may
be compelled to spend their money at
the exposition gates.
Maj. Handy's department has for
many months been sending all over the
country mass of descriptive matter
concerning the fair. This matter has
invariably been refused by the papers
that have opposed the fair, and the en-
velopes have been returned unopened.
When the notifications concerning
passes were sent out, Maj Handy di-
rected that they be inclosed in the
same sort of envelopes used for the It's
sue. The ruse worked well, and as a
result probably a dozen papers have
cut themselves off from passes.
