art returning to this city.
The Trans mississippi Exposition.
DIR. A. Il. Winship, editor of the Bos-
ton Journal of Education, shortly prior
to the opening of the Omaha Exposi-
ton paid it visit. Following his visit
was lengthy letter from his pen re-
garding the Exposition, its prospects,
etc. Among other things, he says:
mo twenty men of my acquaintance
could have made me believe that half
have seen in Omaha at the grounds of
the Trans Mississippi Exposition could
be true. saw the Worlds Fairaweek !,
before it opened; sawit on the opening |
day and on the closing; on the Fourth
of July, New York day, and Chicago
day. l saw California's mid winter car
nival on Mardi Gras day, and the At
lanta Exposition on several days, so
that what is here is written from an en-
perience with the rivals of the Trans
Mississippi Exposition. Neither the
San Francisco nor the Atlanta eXposi-
tion is to be mentioned with the Trans
Mississippi. In both these there was
sense of sadness in remembrance of
the Worlds Fair, but not so with Oma-
ha. How often has it been said that
the world would never see another
white city. But it has. Irreverant rs
it may seem from one who hasadmired
the white city almost to devotion, to
say it, venture the statement that the
view of the court of honor up the Ia
goon to the Administration building is
more beautiful than any possible view
in jackson Park in 1893. In proper
tion, in uniformity of beauty, in per-
spective, in continuous line of build
ing and colonade presenting an un-
broken graceful white line back from
the winding shores of the lagoon, by
day, and the maze of electrical glory by
night, there is beauty unknown at
Chicago.
1.-THE government exhibit is in every
respect more elaborate, more interest
ing, and more instructive than ever be
fore made. The electrical exhibit far
outshines that at the Columbian expo
sition. The world has moved electric
ally in five years, and every latest
beauty and device of harnessed
lightning will be on dress parade
from June lst to October 3lst. The
agricultural exhibit is to be larger and
up-to-date. Out of doors as we'll as in
doors there will be grand display of
these resources of the West notably of
the wheat, corn and sugar-beet indus
tries. The art exhibit is good second
to that at Chicago. There will be cash
prizes for stock competition, aud dis
play Of blooded horses, cattle, sheep,
and swine, that will far outshine that
of Chicago. The Transportation build
ing equals that of Chicago. The man
ufactures building is not SO extensive,
but is very interesting. The mining
exhibit will very nearly equal jackson
Park, and the Midway-well, there will
be as much fun to the square inch as
on the plaza. The streets of Cairo, the
Streets of All Nations, the Moorish
Palace the Japanese and Chinese vii
lagos, will rival the same Worlds Fair
displays. The general arrangement of
the merry making will be more salts.
factory, and the instructive foreign
features will be almost as good. Sew.
eral things will be missed. Vienna
will not be there. nor the undrcssed
South Sea Islanders, but the supply of
fun will be ample"
The people of this state IRE fortu-
nate in that the most direct route by
which they can reach the great expo
sition is one justly famed for the ex-
cellence of its equipment and service,
the courtesy of it's officials and en-
ployes, and the attractiveness of the
country through which it passes. We
refer to the Burlington Route.
