1t is remarkable what difference of
opinion exists ia the minds of the peo-
pie who have been at the Worlds Fair,
as TO the proper way of seeing it and
the amount of legitimate expenses for
such trip. Generally he who goes
and stays week or more at an average
expense of from seven 10 eight dollars
per day, comes home pleased with his
trip, but strongly asserting that should
he 60 again, and remain a like period,
it would not cost him to exceed twenty
five or thirty dollars. If he has any
doubters among his listeners he explains
TO them that one should 90 there with
fixed purpose of seeing only the Fair.
He should stop at one of the five hun
dred or more suitable hotels that are
within walking distance of the Park,
and above all things he should know
where to eat when be wishes to eat
By careful attention to all these rules
and with determination not toindulge
i'll the luxuries of rolling chairs, electric
yachts, Old Vienna or German restau-
rants, Intermural Railway or any of the
million and one things that are there as
an expense and supposed comfort 10 visi-
tors-by avoiding all these unnecessary
luxuries and by curtailing expenses in
every other way possible it is estimated
that one person can see the Fair, but
not Chicago, at a total expense not to
exceed thirty dollars.
A pretty lawn party, in which about
fifty of our young people participated,
occurred at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Stephens last Friday evening.
The evening was cool, a delightful
breeze permeated the decorated sur
roundings, played lightly with the
verdant foliage, and gave to the myriad
number Of pretty chinese lanterns
which were suspended from wires, a
swaying motion, which ever and anon
caused them to flare up as if a sudden
desire to display their wealth of bril-
liancy had come upon them. Animated
by the propitious weather and the
elegance of the surroundings, the young
folks laid no strait upon their actions
but individually set out to have q good
time and incidentally to help all others
present to have the same. Music and
pleasant tete-atetes occupied the time
until luncheon was announced. The
young people then sat down to tables
spread on tie lawn and partook of
several courses consisting of ice cream,
cake, delicious fruits, etc. After lunch
con new diversion was proposed by
the Misses Stephens, and penny and
card was handed each person. On the
card was written series of questions.
The questions asked named some
thing that could be found on the penny
and prize was offored in compensation
for the mental strain necessary to the
answering of the dozen or more ques-
tions, which was secured by Mr..
Frank Webb. Music, singing and
pleasant chats again became the fea-
lures of the evening and at late hour
the happy galaxy wendell its way home
ward with the consciousness of having
been royalty entertained Ippermost in
the minds of all
A grand excursion to Chicago and
the Worlds Fair from Lancaster and
neighboring cities has recently been in
auguratcd. 1t is intended that this OK.
cursion shall be the LARGEST and most
complete of any from Wisconsin. In
view of the fact that the present is
much the best time to visit the Fair, be-
cause everyone knows that later on the
crowds will be so large as to make it al
most impossible for one TO see all there
is to be seen with the same comfort
that one now enjoys, it is fair to pre-
sumo that many will avail themselves
of this grand opportunity to see the
sights at reduced travelling and
hotel rates. The excursion, which will
be made up of parties from all the
towns along the Northwestern line be-
tween here and Madison, will be
under the direction of an agent of the
Revere house, first class hotel, CEN
trally located on Clark ST., and also on
the cable car lines to Jackson and Lin
coin parks. The management of this
hotel have made the following extreme
ly low rates for this excursion: Euro
pean plan Sl.00 per day; American
plan g 90 and upwards. Every ac-
commodation that may be asked for
can be had at this hotel. The follow
ing are the railroad rates for the round
trip from the several points along the
line of the excursion: Lancaster. $500;
