O'Clock in the morning.
Dear Chronicle: We arrived i'm

from New York. The railroads seem
20 understand the economy Of time,
i"f thrN hrln" the vlsitOrS through the
darkness, and rush the specials INTO
'hc great Exposition CIV Just as the
milton little shops ami mral.markcls
IN The endless suburbs are letting down
their striped awnings aud sweeping off
tic front steps.
AT the particular station where we
! stopped there waited thousands ,r
hungry Eotcl runners and hundreds of
chnopicd wagons. When the frs,
train wound around lhc curve below

indeed heavy! AS The barrarc cor

thing {" sleep all night in il day coach
where one man always snOrcs and

seats. Some one drops egg shells ON

y where arc we now?'' Besides,
some OF these people had come thous-
ana miles and had put III two nights,
considering which lacl they were
rather fresh and confident. The girls
were trltlc striugy and mussed un, il
IS true, and some of the men blinkcd

Hadn't they arrived? ? There were
the big white buildings glislcning i'm

'Ie sights the first dome, so did these
travellers rush their baggage madly to-
ward an exit and tell each other to
- come on
Some were old men wearing dusty
sinuch hats pulled over their eyes and
cach with nervous following OF wo-
men and wraps. There were many
lat old ir"wsy women waddinw about
IKE lost ducks. There were country
hoAs who had saved up for this trip,
ana had begun by purchashing cigars

where they wished to 90, and had
asked thc way of the policeman who
lold them to 90 30 many blocks in this
direction and then - turn to your right !

cars came u procession all brushed off I

DISAPPEARED IN THE HOTEL.
In five minutes the one thousand
weary men, women and children had
scattered into l'an-A mcrican byways, d
luictly absorbed by the long hotels.
This was one train. See them come Y
in on this road and that road, one after /
he other; watch the moving parade of &
'atchcls and umbrellas, and you will $
)cgin to understand why the attcn- t
lance is jumping. Go into one Of the /
rcvivirg hotels and watch the names c
90 on the cGistcr-Savannah, Boston, v
Butte City, Montreal, City Of Mexico, | f
Joliet, Ncebcrsburg, Red Dog, Seattle, \
Cape Nome, Then you need not ask, i
as some do; "Whcrc do all these folks |
come from2" :
AS the Chronicle announced some 1,
years back when the oil null was first (
built, "The Boom Is On" {
But if you would fully appreciate |
how the people arc coming, and why =
they arc coming, just rid" up from 5
New York on night train. Every ,

man from Georgia has guide book f
and asks questions of man VINO is
going for the second time. This man
fIom Georgia has read up on the Fair, {
and knows more about it than some
bright people who live eight here in
Buffalo.
