On New York day Governor Odell

An elaborate programme has been ar
ranged for the Temple of Music and a
reception in the New York State build

Illinois day, on Oct. {, is TO be one
of the great days of the Exposition.
While the death of President Mckinley
made it necessary TO postpone the day
from Sept Is, Governor Yates and the
State commission have determined that
the day shall be an event of great i'm
portance at the Exposition. Thousands
of Illinois people are coming. The
great middle west, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, with Michigan, have sent great
crowds already TO the Pan-American,
and there is every indication that the
attendance from that section will he
greater than ever during the month of
October.
Buffalo will have a great day on Oct
10. At the Chicago fair Chicago day
was the crowning event Of the Exposi-
tion. So Buffalo people are laboring
hard to make Buffalo day the climax in
point of attendance.
Many nearby cities will have special
days in October notably Erie, Pa, on
Oct. 10 and Dunkirk, n. Y, on Oct. 10.
The list is constantly being added to.
National Grange day, Oct. 10, will bring
Patrons of Husbandry from every part
of the nation. Atlantic City people
and New Jersey people will visit the
Exposition on Oct. IL, Atlantic City
day.
Alaska day, on the 2Sth, will bring
into prominence the products and peo-
pie Of that great golden land of the
midnight sun, ice, snow and wealth.
Every day from Oct. l to the 3lst will
be replete with interest, from Carnival
week, which opens the month with the
gorgeous floats Of King Rex and the
replica Of Mardi Gras pageantry, TO the
magnificent pyrotechnic display on the
night of the last day Of the month.
No exposition ever held in the United
States so appealed to the American
public as has the Pan-American Ex-
position in its architectural beauty and
symmetry, its gorgeous flowers, now in
the fine beauty of fall bloom; its gar
dens and fountains and its special
amusements music and carnival fea-
lures. "No person." said Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson during a visit on
Sept. 10, should miss seeing the Ex-
position. 1t is magnificent beyond COM
pare" Never again will the world see
such an illumination. Not every city
has the wonderful electric plant driven
by Niagara Falls, and without some
such plant it will be impossible TO re-
produce the solemn grandeur, the glo-
rlous beauty, the impressive radiance
of this City Of Light.
There are yet few more weeks In
which to see this vision with all Its
attendant beauties.
