class of exhibition to this country, anl
after the close of the never-to-be-gotter
exposition many and loud were the ex
pressions of regret that the Midway

music had passed into oblivion. All hac
; read Of the land of the Orient with iti
classic romance and barbaric splendor
but comparative few had ever beer
able to visit the lands beyond the sea-
+ and view the Oriental in his native
! heath.
The Midway, therefore, presented
scenes and people, the multitude coulC
t not have otherwise seen, and proFet
e highly entertaining and instructive a

! effectively given, particularly to til,
young, as when it is combined Will
amusement features.

money-amounting to hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars-has succeeded III repro
ducing and even improving on tn
Worlds Fair Midway by tile intraduc
zion OF late carnival features and othe
attractions which We're not in eXistenc
Al the time Of the Chicago Exposition.
