There has been no time since the
opening OF the Exposition when visit
10 the great show could be more de-
lightful. Everything connected with
the enterprise is mt the zenith OF its
glory Every night the magnificent
illumination takes place; the fountains
are everywhere active the floral deco
rAtions and the exhibits OF flowers are
at the height OF their perfection; the
best of musicians are playing every
day in the Temple OF Music and In the
various band stands; the military
camps are alive with troops, which
lend their share TO the public enter
tainment by daily drills and parades;
the Midway IL gay and noisy every day
and evening; the crowds are big and
every day growing bigger. Indeed,
rothng is lacking to make the EXPOSE
zion complete and Its magnificence can
never be adequately described.
In the various exhibit buildings every
thing is moving with most interesting
regularity. The large number Of NOV
ing exhibits In the 20 or more great
structures devoted to exhibits give TO
these magnificent displays OF merchan-
disc very keen interest. Never was
American enterprise more perfectly ex-
plotted than here at the Pan-American.
The variety Is something particularly
Noteworthy There Is no tedious repe-
tltion OF exhibits, but what Is shown Is
intended to be and Is typical Of the
particular industry to which II may be-
long.
One cannot see the Pan-American
satisfactorily In a week He should
have at least ten days or two weeks
and as much more as he can afford.
Those who live continually at the Elk

appreciation as privilege to be val
ued beyond price.
