Buffalo, n Y, June 15-Now that
the warm season has really set in, sight
seers are rapidly coming into the city
to enjoy the sights and at the same
time to part company with their elu-
sive dollars. The stranger In Buffalo
will find plenty of ways for enjoyment.
All that is necessary is plenty of cold
hard dollars or a fat roll of greasy bills
people are not particular if the bills
are crisp Or greasy and presto there
you are. The story has gone abroad
that living is expensive in Buffalo at
the present time, but the statement is
erroneous, as good accommodations
and plenty of them can be had at very
reasonable prices.
- The cadets from the Virginia Poly
technic Institute are now sojOurning
here, but will leave in few days for
home. The climate of Buffalo struck
them hard, as they shivered and tried
various means to keep warm about the
time of their arrival.
Sousa and bis band are now giving
two concerts daily at the Pan Ameri-
can. and it is useless to add that he is
charming his thousands of admirers by
his supurb music He will be here for
several weeks.
If the stranger is enchanted with the
charming, delicate colors of the Pan
American in day time, an exclamation
oil delight and enthusiasm will be
forthcoming when the real beauties of
the Exposition Is shown at night. It is
a veritable fairy land. The Worlds
Fair was beautiful, but the Pan
American far surpasses it in electrical
illuminations. Nothing has ever
equaled it in this respect. The lights
are not turned on suddenly, but the
buildings look as if studded with
thousands of tiny jewels, which grad
ually become larger until the full force
of the incandescent light is reached.
Then it is wonderful sight. A pow
erful search light is now in operation
at the top of the Electrical Tower.
Elevators are now running to the top
of the Tower, and a charge of Is cents
is made for the round trip. If any one
is desirous of being highly elevated in
this world, surely this is the trip to
take. 1t is lofty aspiration.
Kiralby's "Constantlnople," at the
new Teek theatre, is blaze of scenic |
splendor. It surpasses America" at
Chicago. The music ls enchanting,
and the costumes are gorgeous. An
other new theatre opens June II, call
ed the Lafayette, with Weber & Field s |
New York Co. in Fiddle dee-dee."
Buffalo has plenty of attractions in
the theatrical line, and no doubt they
will all be we'll patronized.
Niagara Falls, too, are running at
5heir full capacity, and are visited by
thousands of admiring visitors. One
,an always view Niagara Falls with
out firing of the sight, as it is one that
IS full of wonderful grandeur and
notion.
If visitors have religious turn of
mind they can find ease and comfort
It the Evangelist Tent on Lincoln Av-
,nue. Here all the noted evangelists
will speak during the summer. Fine
music is provided and the visitor can
pend many a pleasant hour at this
ent.
Big days are scheduled for the Pan
american, such as the United CONNER
ial Travellers day, Odd Fellows day,
Firemen's week, Virginia day and
thers too numerous to mention. The
ummer will be we'll taken up with
pecial events. The firewOrk displays
It the Pan-American are the finest
yer seen in Buffalo, and affords great
'leasure to the thousands of bicyclists
vhO turn their wheels toward the Pan 1
American in the evening after their |
ay's work is done. Taken all in all, 6
'uffalo will prove powerful drawing
ard during the coming summer. "
