The Indianapolis party which was at the

of members of the Board of Trade and Com
mercial Club and a few others, including
Rev. c. G. Lasby. President Parry, OF the
Commercial Club, and President Kinney, of
the Board of Trade. were at the head OF
the party. When the visitors alighted from
the train each was taken in tow by local
and walked to the Bates House. South Me
ridian street, the principal wholesale dis
trict was visited on the way, and the route
was made circutous enough to give the Wis
itors a view of the soldiers and sailors
monument and the State Capitol.
At the Bates the visitors scattered out to
take a little view of the city on their indi-
vidual accounts or spent the time resting
longer one which is to come. They have
been on the road since last Sunday, and
expect to continue their pilgrimage until
Feb. q, the entire trip requiring fourteen
days and fourteen hours. and covering five
thousand miles. w. H. Green, chairman OF
the delegation, was at the Bates House IN
the interim between the arrival and the
reception. He said that the trip was intend
ed merely to advertise the Transmtssippi
and International Exposition, mainly by
visiting the principal cities IN the manuIac-
turing districts and inviting the manufac-
turers and producers to make exhibits and
compete at the exposition. Ihls is the
heart of the manufacturing district, he
said land we hope TO do much good here.
We hope the people of Indiana will come
out and show the twenty-five million people
whom our exposition represents what they
have to offer them. We are not beggln
anything; we only open the gates ana you
can take your choice
