"Who will show us the show" is this years
version of the classic louis custodes custodiet:'
An exhibition is thing to be seen. But there is
an art in seeing as well as In exhibiting. Every
visitor to n Worlds Fair-save perhaps. the few
who were able to devote whole season to sight
seping-has felt the need not only OF an authori-
tative g,lidebook on the ground. but also of adj
vance information so that he might most read
ily find and see those things in which he was
most interested. and not waste time IN aimless
explorations Of mighty maze. The great ran
American Exposition at Buffalo. which is about
to open its gates will afford no exception to this
rule, but rather a striking example or it. In

account Of what he may see. In order intelli-
gently to plan his itinerary.

plished scribes will tell of the history and the
general scope and features Of the exposition,
of the lighter advertisements of the Midway.
