sunset, had whipped tao neighbour

Next moruloB carriages took as TO
+ the Bau0 hotel, where Ne had a
+ breakfast served in the most modern
/ style, with all the accompaniment Of
I large rooms, cosy tables, uniformed
walters, elegant dishes. Thence We
drove up aud up and up a we'll made
carriage road till We reached the
warm sulphur spring. We found a
mountain house there whore, after
taklng q bath, we took dinner, and
then singing Hawaii Ponoi by
way ot farewell, drove drown the
mountain side, visiting by the way
cave with another sulphur spring,
aud bringing some curIosIJie5 and
photographs as mementoa OF pleas
ant days experience.
The next day our tram was moving
out OF the mountain passes on 10 the
low pralCies of the ke,l River

that it WAS known how to grow

observation we made that We had not
found recoEdel--that mosquitoes are
numerous. and that they are very
savage. They came Into the cars,
and one young CARL Ia oar party suf-
fsrsj severely from their bites. They
made no noise ABOUT II, but settled TO
business Immediately on ahgh0ng. I
Men were blowing with gloves GA /
their hands and Dig mosquito sroof 4
around their heads, as If they were /
OF on q bee hunt.
Wespens q few hours only ia Winni- /
peg, ''the heart city OF the continent"
It IS one of those marvelS OF sudden (
growth, which seem to realize the /
fabulous tale of Aladin's lamp in the
4uickneSs with which city with ali
the modern cOnyenlenceS springs up
where once was only a m0rasS. The
streets of the city, that we're unpaved,
showed how deep the mud must have
been IN the ruts, along which tie
wagon wheels moved, sunk to the
lub.
Chicago Is reached at last, and be
lore long we are on the boat, leaving
he pier at the foot of Van Buren,
street, for the fair grounds at Jack
son park. We Just missed taking
he whale back Columbus, the biggest
excursion boat IN the world. It was
/ curious shaped affair. as we saw Ii,
With its bow and stern so differently
from any ordinary yes
iel. Two decks on it's rounded back
we're filed with passengers, and the
music OF q brass band enliyened the
-oyage and h0ated on the waters to
,ur ears. The view of the White
lily" from the lake was as enchant-
ne as We had expected, but married
" the black mass of q big building,
,egun bat never finished, near tie
FAIR grounds.
Our first view of the Exposition
was disappointing, because
We made the mistake OF taking the
inter- mural railway for ride around
be grounds. We were taken along
he rear Of the buildings aud close to
hem. seeing all their incompleteuess
nd imperfectGess. Lath and plaster
10 lot make very pleasing impress 7
ion Of architectural beauty when
he corners are broken of, big
iatches scarcely covering tho ravages
ime aud weather have already begun
o make. But when we took passage
n one Of the electric launches for a
our around the lagoon, We found a
ision Of beauty constantly changing
efore orr admiring gaze. No one
mo visits the Fair and wishes TO
airy away some adequate impression
{ the beauty OF the arrangement of
ne building and the location, should
sil 20 take this tour in one OF the
lectric launches. i
It is the buildings themselves, :;
nan the exhibits, that make the
eepest impression upon the visitor t
hers is nothing particularly inter h
sting in the machinery or manufac-
Tres Oh exhibition beyond the d
sual display at such fairs. What o
iany would overlook from its il
