THE PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION
GOO

l HE PAN Al lEkl\AEN EAfOoll HUN. ONE SHOULD NOT FAIL TO ATTEND.
 The-Pan American Exposition at Buffalo has proved a great success, in so farIas artistic merit and general ex- cellence can make them. That the crowds that were expected are begin ming to come, is evidenced by the at tendance, that is now about 45, 900 per day, and is constantly working up. It is magnificent show, and one who con possibly go and don't, will miss the opportunity of life time. You can't see all there is to see in short time, but one may pick out subjects of per sonal interest. The government ex- hibit is interesting to all, comprising as 1t does modern inventions, exhibitions jects of interest from the Smithsonian institute, and thousands of other things.
 l The government exhibit in all it's branches is remarkably we'll chosen and instructive. The buildings are ahead of any exposition ever held in point of beauty, the ensemble making a most beautiful picture. The climax of beauty is reached when at night these buildings are illuminated by 1 thousands upon thousands of incandes- cent lamps. Then the beholder istrans- ported in imagination, to fairy land. It is, indeed, grand, and no pen, how ever facile, can pretend to do this spectacle justice. It must be seen to be appreciated.
 The exhibits in the manufacturers and liberal arts, electricity, machinery, agricultural and horticultural build ings are all very fine. The forestry building, too, should not be omitted by any means, or the several state buildings, many of which are very fine, notably the New York build- ing and the New England building.
 "The Midway beats Chicago" they all say. There are really instructive and l and amusing shows here which the visitor can profitably take in: But if glory, wait until about g p. m.
 agricultural building, the writer saw from the farm of Hon. T. B. Platt. Also nuts and other products from farms in ROxbury and Nichols. Buffalo has opened wide her doors to visitors, and many of the best homes in the city that have never before taken in strangers, are receiving Pan- American visitors There is no reason why any one going there cannot get good place to rest his weary bones, for the general charge is S1 per night each for rooms. But it. would be wise if you had care who guided you. Most every policeman ana trolley car con- ductor has an axe to grind, and if you have not been instructed you are just as apt to %and in a 5x7 hall room as you will in nice room "with all the comforts of home," and you'll have to pay just the same "$1 per-" A satis- factory breakfast may be had at many of these rooming places or near by, and for lunch and dinner you can pay what ever price you choose, and at whatever place these meal times overtake you. You can pay $l.5O for porterhouse steak and bread at a Midway reStau- rant, or you can get good dinner for 50 cents.
 The transportation facilities at Buff falo are very fine, and it is a very easy city to find ones way about in. The cost is cents to the grounds, and it of the city to reach them, and cars may be taken at almost any minute. The music at the Pan is one of the leading features, and you may take in atalmost any hour of the day, some band concert at one Of the several stands by some of the best band in the country, or you may go to the Temple of Music and hear an organ recital on the magnificent $15, ,OOO instrument by some noted OrganiSt, or may be some tne singer.
 Then there is, almost every day, some athletic event in the Stadium, if you care to stop and rest awhile. And these things are all free.:
 will go on that 2O-miie side trip to Nj agara. No trip would be complete without seeing this marvellous and awe-inspirin2 sight. The cost for the round trip From Buffalo by either steam or trolley cars is 50 cents. The trip to Lewiston and back along the edge of the surging rapids below the falls, the whirlpool, etc., costs 75 cents more, and know you will say it is the best investment you ever made.
 1 unqualifiedly and unreservedly ad- wise any one who can possibly to go to Buffalo and the Pan, :" knowing that no such a combination of electrical SpectacleS, mans handicraft and na- ture's wonders will be laid at our doors for many year to come.
 In closing, we wish to extend to Mark Bennett, MT Beard and the men of the Publicity department, who have in very material way made the "Pan" the success that it is, our thanks for special courtesies extended IF. w.
