ARE THE BUILDINGS AT THE BUF-
FAlO PAN-AMERiCAN
EXPOSITION.
kewsy Letter from the Staff Core
spondent of The Republican,, Who
Speaks in Glowing Terms of the
Wonderful Worlds Fair-Fa allied
to Find the Specimen from the
Rambler Mine.

The Republican staff correspondent
sends the following written from Phil
adeIphia on the 10th.
We are still having an elegant time
and nave been kept constantly on the
go all the time, every minute being
enjoyed.
The Pan-American exposition is a
grand affair, although when We left
there it was not nearly completed. BY
the first of July it should be in good
shape. and will be worth the while of
anyone who a do so to see.
The government building in itself
is a revelation to say nothing of the
other attractions. The fisheries. too,
are something fine. The exposition is
not so much of what has been but what
is now, and there are many wonderful
inventions being practically demon,
strated-in fact nearly every II of
Importance may be found there, as
well as many that are not important.
The electrical display is almost indie
sCribable. Almost every state in the
union has creditable exhibit OF Il or
more lines. except Wyoming. We
searched the grounds over for some
thing from Wyoming without success
except in the government building,
II how, n modal nf n mppStrDuS horned
dinasour from Converse county is on
exhibition. There are several beauti-
full pictures of irrigation works and
their basis of supply. by Elwood Mead.
including a review of JaCkson's lake
in the government building. but these
as well as the author are not credited
to Wyoming.
A careful search through the mining
building failed to reveal any trace of
the much talked-of piece of copper ore
sent from the Rambler mine. 1t may
still be in one of the numerous boxes
which have not yet been u"npacked.
If ii is on exhibition it is certainly in
some obscure place. Other states have
fine and extensive mineral exhibits. 1t
is too bad Wyoming has not made some
sort of a creditahle showing, at least
of minerals. here. as there promises to
he a large attendance at the exposition.
and this show is so close to the money
market.
To tell people here that you are
from Wyoming eel to strike them as
though you were from another world.
and in comparison you would almost
think that California. Oregon or Wash
iugton were next DOR neighbors.
The buildings at the exposition are
very attractive and a relief from those
at Chicago and Omaha, as instead of
being pure white are more of soft tints
and there are many c%olorings. making
Il very pleasing effect. The grounds
are being rapidly completed and will
he beautiful when the plants and
shrubs are a little further advanced.
The midway. too. is very good and
embraces fewer fakes than is usual
ly the case. There are some really
m]eritorious attractions in this much
sought feature OF the exposition.
Aside from the exposition the Nj
agara falls and river are attractions at
Buffalo of scarcely less interest, al
though of less profit. The two combin-
ed form q combination worth travelling
almost any distance to see July and
to the middle of August are said to be
pleasant months at Buffalo.
During the visit of the N. L. A. the
exposition authorities and business
people of Buffalo were lavish with
their hospitality-in fact the meeting
amounted to nothing but n huge force
with IA good time for the simple plot.
And it was had. An excursion on Lake
Erie and an elaborate lunch on one of
the finest boats atloat came first, then
an excursion to the falls. next a ban-
quet at the Stattler hotel tbarn) and
finally free tickets to the theater, eX-
position and midway. So you see that
$S.25 was well spent.
We stopped two days in Albany ana
two and one half days in New York
and saw all that could be seen in h a
short time.
We are doing Philadelphia before
going t. Cape May. Had to change
our plans some as boats do not Il to
Cape May from New York. and came
here first.
With the exception Of the two cold
days at Buffalo and m at Detroit the
weather has been as near perfect as
we could wish for. Have slept under
blankets every night so far, However,
we may catch 1t yet.
