Buffalo, July %, 1901

| In my FORMER letters l have endeaY-
ored to give detailed accounts of Ger.
| tain features and individual exhibits
| at the Pan-American EXuosition which
| appealed to me- and which | thought
would interest nay readers In this
letter | shall give some practical in
! formation and directions with a view
/ to relieving those. who contemplate
visiting the Exposition, from much
| delay and possible useless expense.
First let me say that the Exposi-
! tion is now entirely finished. An ex-
hibits are in place, and the Fair is
complete in every detail, and every
| thing runs smoothly.
! Its irridescent beauties and compre-
heusive exhibits are viewed, enjoyed
and praised by great throngs Of Wis
| itors daily.
There are accommodations in Buff
! falo and its suburbs for all who may
/ visit the Exposition.
The rates at the hotels, boarding
houses, restaurants and private
houses for lodging and meals are rea.
| sonable.
These statements are made on the
authority of the Exposition officials
with a view Of counteracting as far as
possible false and misleading reports
which have gained currency N certain
! localities.
Hundreds Of thousands Of fair
minded, appreciative people have Wis
tied the Exposition, and returned to
their homes delighted with the show
and their accommodations. Their
words of commenuatiOn will go far to-
ward correcting the evil
No other exposition has offered so
many fine attractions. Never before
has human interest been so graciously
| catered to. The illumination Is the
grandest and most inspiring specta-
Gle ever produced by the genius of
man. Bathed in incandescent radi-
ance the Rainbow City possesses a
| beauty exceeding that of fairyland, a
! loveliness beyond expression.
BY day the scene IS one never to be
! forgotten. Unequal is the most ia
! cile pen to an adequate description
of the magnificent architecture and
| beautiful coloring of the palaces,
| grand sculpture, cooling fountains
| smiling lakes, wealth of fora, waving
| foliage and grass-covered glades, de-
| lightful vistas, and rising high above
all else-its pinnacle piercing the low
! lying clouds--a tower Of graceful pro-
portions and amazing splendor, upoR
and about which the newest and
grandest ideas of genius are fittingiy
exploited.
Passing from the enchanted courts
into the splendid palaces one reads
in the comprehensive exhibits the
story of development and progress in
the New World during the nineteenth
century, vast discovery, stupendous
invention, marvellous Advancement,
wnlch constitute an example never
before furnished in the revolution Of
time.
Buffalo is amply prepared to accom-
modate all who may come to the EX-
position. The rates are reasonable.
The reports that the hotels are
charging So and $40 day for single
rooms is utterly false and extremely
absurd These charges are for mag
nifcent suites with extraordinary con-
| veniences at one or two hotels. There
are scores of good hotels where
/ the charges for rooms are 81 to So per
| day. At the mammoth hotels near
/ the Exposition the charge for lodging,
| breakfast and evening dinner is but
| $3.50 and so a day. The charges at
| down town hotels are as reasonable.
( There are upwards of 200 hotels in
/ Buffalo, with accommodations for 45,-
| 600 people. There are $50 boarding
and rooming houses, accommodating
| 1S,500. More than 10000 household
/ ers have opened their homes and will
provide accommodations for more
/ than 100000. The rates are 80 cents
| to 81 per day,
In a majority of the boarding houses
and at many private houses lodging
and breakfast are to be had for 81.
To sum up the situation, Buffalo and
| its environs are capable Of accommo-
dating nearly a quarter of a million
visitors in a comfortable manner and
at reasonable rates.
1t is well, when convenient, for the
| intending visitor to make arrange.
