 THE PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION. ONE SHOULD. NOT FAIL TO ATTEND. The-Pan American Exposition at Buffalo has proved great success, in so farlas artistic merit and general eA- cellence can make them. That the crowds that were expected are begin ming to come, is evidenced by the at tendance, that is now about 45,OO per day, and is constantly working up. II is a magnificent show, and one who con possibly go and don't, will miss the opportunity of life time. You can't see all there is to see in short tune, but one may pick out subjects of per- sonal interest. The government ex- hibit is interesting to all, comprising as r it does modern inventions, exhibitions of heavy and light artillery; many sub l jects of interest from the Smithsonian Institute, }and thousands of other l The government exhibit in all its branches is remarkably well chosen l and instructive. The buildings are ahead of any exposition eyer held in point of beauty, the ensemble making a most beautiful picture. The climax of beauty. is reached when at night these buildings are illuminated by 1 thousands upon thousands of incandes- cent lamps. Then the beholder is!trans. ported in imagination, to fairy land. 1t is, indeed, grand, and no pen, how ever facile, can pretend to do this spectacle justice. It must be seen to be appreciated. .. .,..,
 The exhibits in the manufacturers and liberal arts, electricity, machinery, agricultural and horticultural build. Tings are all very fine. The forestry building, too, should not be omitted by any means, or the several state buildings, many of which are very fine, notably the New York build. ing and the New England building:
 "The Midway beats Chicago" they all say. There are really instructive and and amusing shows here which the visitor can profitably take in: But ii YOU want to see the Midway in all it's glory, wait until about 9 p. m.
 In the Connecticut exhibitin In the agricultural building, the writer saw fDaa fpom the % farm of fu Hon. f. K Platt. Also nuts and other products from farms in Roxbury and Nichols.

But 1t would be wise if you had a care who guided you, Most 1 every policeman ana trolley car con- ductor has an axe to grind, and if you have not been instructed you are just as apt to land in SKI hall room as you will in a nice room "With all the comforts of home," and you'll have to pay just the same "$1 per- A satis- factory breakfast may be had at many of these rooming places or near by, and for lunch and dinner you can pay what ever price you choose, and at whatever You can pay $l.5O for a porterhouse steak and bread at Midway restau rant, or you can get good dinner fol 50 cents.
 The transportation facilities at Buff falo are very fine, and it is very easy city to find ones way about in. Int cost is cents to the grounds, and il takes about p minutes from the center of the city to reach them, and car! may be taken at almost any minute.
 The music at the Pan is one of tht leading features, and you may take in atalmost any hour of the day, some band concert at one Of the Severa stands by some of the best band in the country, or you may go to the Temple of Music and hear an organ recital or the magnificent $l5, 900 instrument by some noted Organist, or may be some
 hne singer.
 Then there is, almost every day some athletic event in the Stadium, i you care to stop and rest awhile. An( these things are all free:
 Of course, if you go to Buffalo, yo! will 20 on that 2O-mile side trip to Nj agara. No trip would be complete d without seeing this marvellous ant awe-inspiring sight.
