at the Pan-American Exposition. Nobody wanted
rest, but nearly everybody except the
worknen had 10. The rain fell all day 4 few
people who had come 10 town 10 see the fair and
whose time limited. felt that they must see II
rain or no rain. So they did il, but there were
Tot many others on the grounds. II was day 10
see the exhibits under roofs. There were spots
where even the roofs did not keep out the rain
but, on the whole. the buildings more com
Portable than they likely he for the most Of
the summer on account Of the absence Of crowds
1he eNhlhlts presumably the primary object of
any exposition, are now beginning TO assume their
proper place in the relative importance Of the parts

placing the Midway in the affections Of the visit

hibits IN the United States Government Building
and these remain and likely 10 be permanently

Specialists may find themselves better pleased in
one CT another OF the other departments The cleo
tticity building is still rather backward but the
most Of the exhibits are installed in the ma
chineTy and transportation building. The same is
rue n the manufacturers building and OF the
agricultural building
The mines building is virtually in the condition in
which will remain, and the mineraogist will find
many beautiful specimens in il. The fragrance Of

subject OF supreme interest 70 persons who in
tend 10 visit Buffalo is. of course. that Of
nodations and prices and the usual stories of
extortionate rates have gone abroad. The wealthy
visitor doubt by going TO some of the
expensive places, pay almost any rate which he
feels 10 be commensurate with his dignity but
there Is no reason why the visitor of more modest
should allow himself 10 be frightened away.
