Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Boyd have re-
turned from a tour of Europe and a Wis
it to the Paris Exposition. They left
this country on the 31st of March and
after very pleasant voyage arrived at
Rotterdam early on the morning of the
18th of April. In speaking OF his trip,
Mr.. Boyd said: After making visit
to the principal cities in Holland, which
/ liked very much, we went TO Berlin
where we spent several days taking in
the sights at that city. From Berlin
we visited several other cities in Ger
many, going to Italy via Botzen in
Austria. After spending a few weeks
in the principal cities of Italy and Wis
iting many places of historical interest,
We went to Switzerland, spending much
of our time in that country in visit
ing the lakes and mountains. From
Switzerland we left for Paris via. Brus-
sells, the usual route taken by tourists
doing Europe. We spent two weeks in
Paris, during which time we visited the
exposition quite often. / was very fav-
orably impressed with the great inter-
national show, although in most points
| do not think it equal TO our own Chi
cago exposition. In looking over the
maps of the Paris Exposition one would
think that all the buildings were close
together and easily reached from any
point in the grounds, but such is not the
case, the buildings being scattered along
on both sides of the river Seine, which
is very detrimental to the visitors. The
price of admission is about eleven cents
in our money, but one generally buys
four or five tickets in getting in and
out to the different parts OF the grounds
The art buildings were beautiful and
built of soft stone which could be cas-
lily crushed between the fingers when
first built, but time hardens this Pc
culiar stone and the buildings will, as
was intended; remain after the rest of
the exposition is torn down. Mrs.
Boyd took especial notice of the arch
at the main entrance, which was finish
ed in very pretty shade OF blue, but
a statue of a woman surrounding the
arch, dressed in the latest style and in
very gaudy colors, did much to lessen
the beauty of it. The beautiful cos
tunes of the Partisan ladies at the fair
attracted much attention.
The United States building which is
built after the capitol at Washington,
is more of a resting place for Ameri-
cans who attend the fair than any
thing else. There are but five exhibits
in the building, and nothing is sold, as
is the case in the buildings OF other
nations. There is also another Ameri-
can exhibit in which corn is served in
every way imaginable and served free
to all nationalities. In another build
ing Worth gowns and Redferns are on
exhibit, all mixed UP with machinery
exhibits. The statuary is fine, and the
architectural design of many of the for
eign buildings surpass in beauty the
foreign buildings of the foreign coun-
tries at the Chicago fair. This is es-
pecialy true of the buildings of Italy
and Turkey. Very lew OF the side
shows are interesting, and no COMPARE
son can be drawn between them and the
ones at Chicago. Many of the build
ings are still under course of construc-
ton, admittance being denied to all
wishing to enter them. To go into de-
tail and describe the Manufacturers
buildings, art galleries, gardens, plazas,
the beautiful view of Paris from the
Eifel tower. and the other too numer-
GUS to mention attractions at the great
exposition would require too much of
your time and space. Suffice is to say
we had most enjoyable time at the
fair. We spent eight days in London.
going through England, stopping at
Warwick, Stratford on Avon and other
points of interest. We also spent a few
weeks in Scotland visiting Melrose Alb
hey, Edinburg, Sterling Castle and
Glasgow, from which place we went to
Liverpool, sailing from the latter point
July 5th and arriving in Boston on
the 18th.
