courses, and included oysters on
the half shell, a clam boullion, a
boiled meat, roast beef, roast wild
duck, the usual number of entrees,
and the usual amount of pastry and
dessert. The dining car, one of the
| finest of the kind ever turned out,
was decorated with natural roses,
orchids, ferns and the like, and
these were wards distributed
among the lady guests of the car.
The Milwaukee s Pioneer Limited
is we'll advertised in return for
these floral offerings, I was told, as
the ladies insist that nothing excels
the service, and tell all their friends
to travel that way.
1t was an early spring visit to
Chicago, yet the day was beautiful
and was thoroughly enjoyed. A
visit to the Driving club s grounds,
where some golf players were
pounding the balls through the
links, and to the Field Museum,
were features. At Lincoln park
we were fortunate. The animals
and birds had just been restored to
their summer quarters. The grass
was as green in the park as it was
at any time during the summer, and
thousands of children were rolling
down the grassy e!nbankments, or
sporting on the level grass. Around
the cages of the animals and of the
birds thousands of people were en-
ioying the first spring outing of
1903 and viewing again what most
of them had previously seen. The
sea lions were sporting in their pool,
the polar bears were striding around
feroclously in their pit, while the
cinnamons and grizzlies were sit
ting on their launches catching
nuts and candy and pop corn thrown
down at them. The bengal tigers,
the lions and the leopards were sniff
ing and roaring as If in welcome to
the spring, while the many varie-
ties of birds, game and otherwise,
were singing joyfully over the re-
turn of their lovliest season. A
herd of buffaloes, another Of elk,
and still another of deer were all in
their open pens watching the crowd
that was watching them. A couple
of zebras were renewing their &C
quaintance with spring, while trio
of kangaroos were hopping up and
down their enclosure next to the
zebras. Inside of the animal build
ing a lone elephant was eating hay,
peanuts and popcorn, and evidently
not sorrowing over the fact that he
had been taken from his jungle home
and placed in this lovely spot to re-
ceive visitors. Swans, wild and
domestic geese, brant, wild and do
nestle ducks of all varieties, herons,
storkS and pelicans were all out in
the pools, happy at returning to the
water A cage of American eagles,
a huge vulture and flock of star
ing owls were all on exhibition de-
lighting the kids, while half dozen
monkeys in the winter quarters
held their share of the audience.
The park, skirting along the
shores of Lake Michigan, was love-
ly in its spring attire, sand the
thousands of people visiting it that
day on foot, in carriages, in auto
mobiles and on horseback, gave it a
stunning appearance.
