said, was matter OF pride with every
man in South Carolina.
q Col. Hoyt, of Greenville, was then
called on and made q short address, Ina
which be endorsed the remarks of Gov
crnor McSweeney and President Aull,
and said that the women Of South Caro-.
lima beat the world, and that he would
advocate the expulsion of every bachelor
from tho association at Its next meeting.
GrsenyiIle would not have been repre-
sented at the exposition at all if it had
not been for her women, and all honor
was due them for their noble work and
success in the face of so many obstacles
At the conclusion Of the speaking Mrs.
Simonds invited the visitors to partake
of the dainties spread upon the tables,
which were served then by the ladies of
the reception committee and their assist
ants. The refresments were heartily
enjoyed by every one and at the conclu-
sion OF this important part of the pro-
ceedings Mr.. j. @. Hemphill raped for
order and introduced Mrs. Andrew Si,
monds, Jr., chairman of the entertain
ment and reception committee. Mrs.
Simonds, in enthusiastically grace
full and witty speech of welcome, said
that she was glad to speak to so fine and
representative body as the Press Asso-
citation, which was always ahead in
everything that pertained to the public
sured that if the exhibits we're not all
ready that a welcome always was, and
would be, ready for them from the
women, whose hearts were in the right
place, even If nothing else in the build
ing was.
woMAlN's WORK.
1t was our pleasure here to see the
sights about the grounds in company
with Mrs. j. 9. 1iedeman, who is well
I'm IN, Vol IhaVl pl, hnc
friends. She has been, and still is. an
indefatigable worker for the exposition,
spending a great portion of every day
with affairs in the Woman's building.
She takes especial interest i'm the day
nursery, which is conducted by the South
Carolina kindergarten Association, an
extensive notice of which appeared in
our columns two weeks ago. AT her
invitation President Aull and several
editors visited the two bright and sunny
rooms upon the second story at the rear
end of the Woman's building, where the
babies are comfortably cared for while
their parents are seeing the exposition.
To such bright and enthusiastic spirits
as Mrs. Tiedeman the success of the ex-
position is largely dine.
ON THE MIDWAY.
OF course there could be no exposition
without Midway, and here will be found
f. w. Wagener and the exposition Off
cials, at p. m. the editors and their lady
friends went down the line and had a
jolly good time. A regular programme
had been arranged, starting with the Old
Mill and closing at Bostocks wild animal
show. The Midway people were anxious
to please the editorial party and the en-
tertainment was one of the best of tho
day.
At the Old Mill the visitors took many
trips in the little boats, which passed in
and out of the caves, although o few of
the ladies were afraid to risk it, They
could not be induced to ride, but none Of
the members was missing wnon the party
went next into the Esquimaux village.
The Esquimaux were put through a
series of tricks, and the novelty of the
entertainment appealed to the crowd.
Probably the attraction which will leave
tho more lasting impression was the re-
markable wisdom of Jim Key, the edu-
Gated horse. Manager Rogers piloted
the editors to his little theatre, and they
were amazed at tho intelligence of jim.
Scores of questions and mathematical
problems fired at the stage by the audi
ence were answered without the least
hesitation or delay, and Jim made him
self solid with every man, woman and
child, who applauded his wise tricks.
Over at Mr.. Bostock's arena the wild
animals and the tame ohes delighted the
visitors. There was full programme
and many of the more important beasts
were made to perform. Mr.. Bostock has
very nice show, and it will doubtless be
seen by every visitor to the exposition,
as it deserves, and the entertainment by
his animals was a distinct pleasure.
Bears, lions, boxing kangaroos and many
other splendid animals showed how we'll
and how thoroughly they had been
trained and mastered.
In the foregoing we have endeavored
to give our readers a brief account of
what the editors saw and the manner of
their entertainment on tho exposition
grounds. But language is lame in ex-
pressing the beauty, variety and magni-
tude of this great exposition, which is
just now being successfully launched.
1t will have to be seen to be appreciated.
Before the gates close for the last time
on the first day of next June, everyone
should see it for himself To multiplied
thousands it will prove revelation of
the marvellous resources of our country
and the achievements of modern science
in their development for the comfort,
happiness and welfare of mankind.
