margin was AN uncomfortable one, but

ping the hot drives Cotter's Indians
sent at him which very materially
aided the Grays in achieving the VIC
tory.
The Hartfords started in with a dash
which made the 'rooters' feel quite un-
easy. The visitors took the first goal
with ease, burt when Lincoln by adrodt
manipulation of the sphere sent IL into
the cage for a tie there was a general
revival OF spirit. Then the Grays
buckled on to two more goals. This lead
was reduced by Wodtke. who galloped
the bali down the surface and shot
IL into the home goal almost before the
crowd realized what had happened.
In the second period Providence took
two and Hartford one goal. making the
score 5 TO 3 in favor OF the Grays.
In the final period Lincoln, Conway
and Pierce put up combination play
for two goals. A general miX-up fol-
lowed and out of this Providence made
two fouls. thereby forfeting a goal.
Wodtke scored three times and without
interference. but when the gong was
sounded Providence had a lead OF one
and THAT was sufficient. Summary.

VUST where to begin a story Of the
great Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo is a problem Offering many
ways of approach, all of them at
tractive. all of them so inviting as to
leave one still in doubt which to choose.
If we begin at the upper left hand

might do in making a picture, we shall
straightway find ourselves in the Iaby-
rinths of the Midway, surrounded by
tho gayest of scenes, in maze of nov
elites. threading serpentine walks.

northeast corner, we shall sit in the top

amphitheater, larger In its dimensions
than the Coliseum built by Vespasian
and Titus to please the sportive Romans
at the beginning of this era.
Rather let us come up from the CITY
by trolley, as most of the visitors will
do, and approach the exposition from
the south. 1t Is q close four miles from
the business center of Buffalo TO the,
southern gates of the exposition but
no city ever had better street railway
system than this and ii Is a short ride.
Several hundred new cars have been or
dered for the Pan-American year ana
cent fare will take passengers from
any point in the city, no matter how
remote, to tile gates OF the exposition.
The ride is through as beautiful res
idence section as any city can boast.
There are miles upon miles of smooth
asphalt pavements. bordered with green
lawns, embowered with naples and
aims. Nearly every dwelling has

'anked with brilliant blossoms. Every

arets. flag standards, finals and fes-
toons, with countless ilags, streamers
and banners waving gayly. combine to
heighten the festival aspect.
The style of architecture here observ-
ed Is described as a modification of the
Spanish renaissance, it having been de-
cided that this would somewhat pro-
claim the All-American or Pan Ameri-
can character of the exposition.
Throughout Latin-America the approx
ed architecture is that which has come
down from the Spain of old. changing
somewhat through the lapse of centu-
ries. The visitor from California. Mex
