Some idea of Washington fat stock may
be Cleaned from the statement made Dy q
meat company OF Seattle. that a couple
weeks ago they slaughtered four-year-
old steer weighing 800 pounds and
four-year-old heller which kicked the
beam at 2. $50 pounds. They claim to have
butchered the heaviest and largest two
year-old sheep known to any market.
This one weighed $50 pounds. They have
twelve sheep on hand now which average
over 50a pounds each, and number OF
hogs which will dress over 600 pounds
each.
The state has up 10 a very recent period
bought from the Montana ranges cattle
for butchering purposes. II Is believed
that Washington has at last reached the
position in which she can supply herself
from her own ranches and in addition
spare a good percentage to neighnorihs
states.

De la Reforma. Some 600 acres have
been set apart for the buildings and
grounds, and this area will be divided
into three pOrtions-the Grand court,
the Mexican National court and the
Foreign court. a statue of Porfirio
Diaz, the president of the republic, will
be erected at the entrance to the Grand
court, and in the center of the court
there will be n beautiful electrical ex-
hibit, while to the rear there will be an
electrical fountain and cascades. Differ
emit attractions will be placed at the four
corners, such as an old Mexican mining
camp, a scenic railway, captive bal
loon and an Indian village. Palms and
orange trees will line the walks. The
National court will be to the left, and
In it will be the Administration build
ings, buildings for each of the Mexican
states and so on. The Foreign court
will be to the right of the Grand court.
In the corners will be Spanish, French,
American and German restaurants and
cafes, while the center will be occupied
by something very similar to the Mid
way plaisance at Chicago Everywhere
there will be beautiful tropical plants,
shrubbery and flowers. The grounds
Will Do accessible Dy several lines OF
street cars and will also be placed in
connection with the chief railroads.
Special privileges in the way of customs
concessions to exhibitors will be made,
arrangements for cheap travel and trans
portation are being perfected, and the
Mexican government has assumed the
responsibility of diplomas and other
prizes Machinery will be admitted free.
The buildings will be as handsome and
imposing as can be put up in the time at
command, and they will be of such a
substantial character as to be serviceable
after the close of the exhibition.
Among the prizes to be offered Will
be several for model houses and hotels,
and every inducement to builders of
stone and iron buildings, which have
not heretofore been feature of the City
of Mexico, Will be extended, with the
idea that impressive exhibitions of such
structures will go a long way toward
inducing Mexican capitalists to erect
similar ones there. One of the chief
promoters of this exhibition is Viscount
r. dc Cornely, who is director general
of the foreign department and had a
great deal to do with the Midwinter fair
at San Francisco.

Mexican capital, current rates of trans
portation thither and of living and

a year from now the big Mexican
Worlds fair Will be in full swing. This
exhibition was authorized by federal
concession on Jan. 0, 1895, will begin
on April 2, 1896, and Will remain open
for at least six months It will be the
first big fair ever held in the sister re-
public and Will include all kinds of in
dustrial, scientific, commercial and ar
tistic productions, embracing, in fact,
the entire range of human activity.
The grounds upon which it is to be
held are situated below the castle of
Chapultepec and may be reached by a
ten minute ride from the center of the
City of Mexico, along the grand avenue

or about the same actual value, and the
dishes will be somewhat similar to
those served here, saving that potatoes
viii not be furnished unless called for,
and they Will be expensive, and every
thing will be very peppery and highly
redolent of garlic The walters do not
speak English, as a rule, though occa-
sionally one is found who can utter u
few words in the Anglo-SaxOn tongue.
The street cars are hauled by mules.
The tracks are narrow gauge, and the
mules are generally harnessed tandem.
The cars 90 careering through the streets
at about eight miles an hour and stop
only on the corners. Open cars are little
used, but every one smokes in the cars
who wishes to. In fact, you may smoke
anywhere in Mexico, save in the cathe-
dral, and the SWEETEST daughters of the
city are daily TO be seen smoking ciga-
rettes in their carriages and in the public
gardens, where also the senoritas often
deign to refresh themselves with beer.
To most American travellers these same
senoritas are less comely than they are
expected to be, but this is somewhat due
to the large amount of paint and pow
der with which they decorate their facial
epidermis.
Street car fares are centavos inside
the city limits and , centavos outside,
being about the equivalent of 3 and
cents American money. Public carriages
are to be found ut hack stands very con-
Veniently located. The hacks are blue,
red and yellow and. are all about alike,
excepting for the color and the fact
that they vary III price accordingly.
Thus it costs 100 cent&voS or 81 an nOur
for blue carriage, - cents for a red
one and so cents for yellow one. If
you wish 10 stand well III Mexico, from
a social standpoint, You ShoCid never
patroniZe anything but a blue carriage.
In many ways the Mezicaus Go things
in exactly the reverse fashion from
Americans. For instance, the men wear
their hats III the theatcrs and the wom-
en- take theirs off. At some tLeaters
each act Is little drama b.; itself, and
between acts collectors come around TO
take pay for the next one from those
who wish TO remain. The performance
rarely begins before O'Clock and rare
ly closes before , o'clock III the morn
ing. The hotels do not furnish meals to
their guests, nor arc any restaurants
attached to these establishments, az Il
rule. At some hotels il Is necessary for
the guest TO furnish his own towels and
soap and a servant to care for his room.
a great feature of Sunday III the city

sicians of exceptional ability. 1t is a

THE NATIONAL PALACE.

tavos for the use of chair by the side
of one of the chief avenues. All day
long the people of Mexico, rich and
poor, stylish and humble, promenade
or drive up and down these avenues,
and in no way can the visitor see so
much of the Mexican character as to de-
vote an afternoon to this sort of sight
seeing. Although bull fighting is not
now patronized by the better classes as
it once was, and President Diaz did all
he could to suppress it a year or two
ago, it is still the favorite amusement
of the common people, and every fine
Sunday the seats about the bull ring
are crowded with eager spectators, some
times as much as So n seat being paid
by those in attendance. Bull fighting in
Mexico, however, Is not what it is in
Spain. The horses used are generally
old, wornout animals, and the bulls are
frequently lean and spiritless. Some
times, when bulls cannot be got, COWS
are substituted. 1t is needless to say
that in such cases the contests are not
exciting In fact, the cows sometimes
run away, to the great indignation Of
the spectators.
The foreign population of the city of
Mexico is not very large, there being
more Germans perhaps than English
speaking people. OF the latter there are
about 400 or 500, but they manage to
support a paper printed in the English
Language entitled The Two Republics
1t is quite possible chat this paper re-
ceives some financial assistance from the
government At all events it never
criticises the administration.
President Diaz, who is not only the
chief executive, but practically all there
is of the federal government, seems to be
very popular with the Mexicans and is
the soul of courtesy in his intercourse
with foreigners, especially those from
the United States. He is greatly inter
ested in the coming exposition, as he is
in everything that seems to have tend
ency to introduce the spirit of progress
in the Mexican capital. He is a fine
looking man, and his wife, to whom he
seems devoted, is 4 comely woman,
though now a bit stout. They are often
seen in the streets of the city in a car
riage, the president often goes on horse
back, and both are cheered at every ap-
pearance. The president has done all in
his power to hasten the completion of
the great drainage works which were
begun 800 years ago, and it is hoped
that they will be finished next year.
The castle of Chapultepec, the resi-
dence of President Diaz, Will overlook
the exposition during its continuance.
Chapultepec is a noble edifice and has
been prominent IN Mexican-American
history. From its grounds the volcano
Popocatapetl can be plainly seen on

amusing ones self there may interest
those who think of taking in the exhibit
ton. From New York the round trip to
Mexico costs 1920. Add $40 for sleep
ing car accommodations and meals on
the trip, which occupies six days each
way, and the cost Of going and return
ing would be $3.50. You can lodge, eat,
drive about in cabs, attend the theaters
and amuse yourself in all rational ways
while in the city for about $40 week
Mexican money, or in the neighborhood
of $25 a week United States currency.
At this rate one can so to Mexico from
New York, remain fortnight and re-
turn for \ little over 5000, the total cost
of the trip of course varying according
to your starting point. During the ex-
position the fare Will be less, OF. course,
but possibly the expense of living Will
be greater.
