China. While not specially interesting it
was certainly novel and unique. The lit
tie actors in fantastic costumes >truttcd
over the boards, and muttered their lar
gon. Admiring mothers pcered from be
hind the screens, and the attendants and
stage managers performed all their duties
in full view. In fact, the Chinese do not
use scenery. Much is left to fancy. and
we had to stretch our imayinations An
acrobatic performance by boys from toto
years of aye followed the drama, and then
our crowd retired to view the Chinese
beauties in another hall There we found
society, and dressed in appropriate cos
tunes. In the Chinese village many
phases of the life of this peculiar people
are illustrated, and beautiful and inge-
NOUS wares are for sale. Some of the
party had the heather write their names
on scrap books, and many exchanged nick
els for Chinese coins, worth a fraction of
a cent to carry home as curios.
UNCLE SAM At THE FAIR.
Uncle Sam has improved by his cXre-
rience in attending Fairs, and Atlanta may
boast of about the best he has offered vet.
The Government building is really com
rlete and attractive, having exhibits from
nearly every Experimentation navy, in
terror. treasury. etc The Light house
Board, Fisheries Commission and Signal
Service present interesting features. and
in one section are tanks filled with bcauti-
full fishes of many species. Here may Al
WAYS be found lingering crowds
RANDOM DOTrINGS.
OF course must omit mention Of many
notable features of the Exposition. Each
one of the large buildings contains a great
show in itself, Some of the State build
ings are full of interesting objects. In
Agricultural Hall, Arkansas makes great
showing, and bids vigorously for immigra-
ton But Florida carries off the palm for
luscious fruits and mammoth vegetables
Even California Is hardly lin it with her
dl iIldHtd. LoulSland Has Il Dcduill III us
play also of her products.
The Forestry building is unique in con
struction from the fact that the timber on
its exterior surface and the interior sup
porting timbers are not denuded of their
bark, which gives the structure the APP
pcarance of being Il colossal rustic sum
mer house.
The Midway at Atlanta is perhaps better
than it was at Chicago. In the streets
of Ciaro' the architecture of Egypt is
represented both in form and decoration.
In the Mexican village they advertise Il
genuine bull tight-but neither man nor
beast is hurt.
The negro building enjoys the dStinc-
ton of having excited the special interest
of President Cleveland when he went
South to open the exposition. Much has
been written and said about it. II, indeed
presents creditable showing for the race
in industrial arts, and even the fine arts.
The training schools in different parts of
the South have specimens of the work of
pupils and a Banking House at Rich
mond is represented by photographs Of
the building, the officials, etc
NOTES.
The trip offered opportunity for the
removal of old friendships and the form
ing of many pleasant new ones among the
members of the Association.
Thanks We're voted to the Southern
Railway for courte les, and the Maryland
Editors think it deserves all the praise it
is getting. For a pleasant trip take this
route.
There are many handsome women in
the Southland, but, to Maryland's credit
be it said, that the handsomcst one We
saw was Mrs. Nelson, wife of the Bishop
