A NOVEL EXCLUSION.

A novel excursion was given by the Intra-
mural Elevated Railroad. At o'clock a. m.
the officers OF the road, which encircles the
grounds on the inside, had train of four
cars brought to the Midway Plaisance gates,
and In response to invitations the population
of that cosmopolitan quarter embarked for a
ride about the grounds. The first car was
given up to the Iowa State Band, and Band
master Phinney and his men were kept busy
footing the airs OF all Nations and varied war
dances during the trip. Hagenbeck's animal
show sent forty men. King Bull, of the Lap
land village, came on with the party and sat
side by side with three swarthy seven-foot
Zulus. who were playing jackstones with the
natives of the Dahomey village on the seat
opposite ''Buffalo Bills" Indians, In their
gaudy trappings, filed the last car. Nearly
every Nation on earth was represented, and
as they went around the park they sent up
conglomeration of cheers and yells that al
most caused the statues on the big buildings
to crumble. The train finally stopped at the
south end Of the grounds, where the party
was photographed, and after a luncheon re,
turned to the starting point.
