s Buffalo N. r., May 29.-tSpeciai Sor- respondence. .)-Though the weather has been very unfavorable and there has been much to delay 1t. the great Ex- position is open and on in full blast. While it will of necessity take several weeks to finish the placing of exhibits. putting the finishing touches on the grounds and building and other small matters. it can be truly said that so far as sightseeing is concerned the mighty aggregation of marvels is com plete. To those who have read of this great enterprise on the northern from tier 'of our country there has been much to interest them, but the story told so often and So lucidly is but a faint outline of the grandeur that be- longs to the Pan American. In the first place no description will ever do 1t justice. One enjoys the sight the best for the impression made on the eye Is more vivid of the ever changing panorama that glides before the vision like some enchanted scene from fairy land. Those who know say that this exposition is larger than the Colum- bian, but be that as it may, 1t Is cer- tain that in many things this one will eclipse all American efforts.

Be- fore it's immensity and beauty all ex- pressions pale and it has to be seen to be appreciated. r ~ s ,s
 In it's conception and execution this exposition is as perfect as executive ability of the highest order can make it. It has had only one day that might be termed a big day, and that devel- oped the fact that there was nothing lacking in the exposition itself but that the facilities for feeding the peo- pie on the grounds and the street car service for handling crowds were to- tally inadequate. This. however. taught lesson that will be remembered and 1t Is likely that now the deficiencies will be provided for before the heavy business sets in.
 The street car system here on its usual footing is we'll night perfect. The Cars are equipped with air or electric brakes and are heated by electricity. Most all the cars run direct to the ex- position grounds and those that do nor give transfers and from anywhere in the city one can reach the grounds for five cents. The admittance price is 50 cents. There Is no other expense con- nected with the exposition proper but there Is the Midway with It's many at- fractions heralded by lusty 1unged spielers who never seem to, tire. Ev- erything that American ingenuity can devise to tempt the wary nickle from the travellers pocket Is here, but 1t is of course. discretionary with the trav- eller as to spending 1t, for the wealth of a more than empire is at his hands awaiting to be seen. The pick and pride of all Americas finest things are here all garbed and gowned in costly fittings, and weeks could be advanta-
