may of few self-styled aristocrats, and
to the extreme delight of the people of
Chicago in general and the thousands
of visitors, Eulalia, the infanta of Spain,
went to the worlds fair today without
any military escort and without any of
the fussy ceremony that royalty are
usually supposed to require. The
democratic princess was accompanied
by three or four friends, and she
laughed and had fun and enjoyed the
sights just as any sensible American
young woman would. And to the still
greater horror of the aristocrats the OBJ
stiDate princess persisted in passing 10y
the fine arts galleries. and led the way
right up into the Midway Plaisance,
where everybody has been accustomed
to go, excepting the self-styled aristo-
Gratis.
Eulalia did not tell anybody of her in
tended trip to the fair until near noon
today. and then she unceremoniously
announced that she was going to take in
the fair
ssJust as Americans Do.o
Commander and Mrs. Davis and Mrs.J.
l.. NJ. Curry. wife of the eX-minister to
Spain, were the original party, but as
they were about to start Hobart Chat
field-Taylor and his wife came in and
they were invited to join the merry
making. A private steam yacht was Sc
cured. and by this they went to the
grand basin at the fair grounds, where
they took gondola and were rOwed to
the women's building. Here the
princess and her friends took a slight
luncheon. Not one specially prepared,
but such as is served to visitors at the
fair every day, and was paid for by one
of the party.
Some one suggested that the party
take in the big manufactures and liberal
arts building, and another that they go
to the fine arts building, but the princess
vetoed both propositions. and said she
wanted to see the sights of Midway
plaisance. of which she had heard so
much. She had her way, and up the
plaisance they went unheralded and un-
noticed by the thousands of visitors
who jostled past the princess as they
would any ordinary mortal to her great
delight. After walking to the extreme
west end of the plaisance, the princess
wanted to ride in one of the rolling
chairs, and chairs were procured for all
LlS lduleS Vi tlle party.
The First Stop
they made was at the captive balloon,
and to the sorrow of the infanta it was
too windy to make an ascension. From
here they went to the Chinese theater,
and sat in the seats among the ordinary
patrons OF the show, which greatly
amused the democratic princess. It
was not special performance. The
next stop was made in the street in OLD
Vienna, and then they crossed over to
the Street in Cairo" Here the Egyp-
tian temple was visited. The Soudanese
full Indian juggler. All the while the
princess chatted and talked and
laughed and asked questions with theg
freedom of an American girl just from
the seminary. She laughed heartily at
the akward antics of visitors who wereo
making their maiden effort to ride the
camels. and was greatly amused at the
donkeys driven by swarthy Arabian
boys. Leaving Cairo street, the party
went to the Algerian theater.
She was deeply interested in Hagen
beck's performing lions and in the inter-
national dress exhibition, especially In
the young woman who
Represented Spain.
As they were about to leave the plais-
ance, the princess caught sight of Blar-
ney castle and the Irish village. She
insisted that she was not at all tired,and
through the village the party went.
Eulalia listened with delight to Miss
Sullivan performing Irish melodies ON
the harp of Erin's Isle, and applauded
the performance generously at IT'S close.
When it came time to go back to the
hotel the princess was loath to leave.
She declared she had never had better
time in her life. Tomorrow she will
again visit the fair. but this time it will
be ceremOnious visit and there will
be bands of music to greet her and dig
nifed committees to meet her. She
will be accompanied by all the MEM
bers of the royal party, and during the
afternoon she will attend grand con-
cert given in her honor at festival hall.
The buildings and grounds will be
brilliantly Illuminated in the evening,
the buildings being kept open until 10
aud the grounds until II o'clock. The
music entertainment in honor of the i'll
fanta is an invitation concert rendered
