 In comfortable. rapidly moving cars
 visitors are carried over the In,ramu. raj Railway and many tkus obtain thelr frs. idea of tLe magnitude Of this $. Louis display Starting near the Lin de. boulevard entrance, they are car- red on shai ghta.ay track a distance l 9f mile. between TOW Of giant exhi- D.lion palaces on the left and the curi- 1 ous buildings 0u the Pike CD the right. Then the train skirts lawn. crosses 6 tTesile and curves around the hand. some buildings of the Administration group, structures of pink granite tba, have been universally admired for theIr architecture. Beyond these a field is reached, aud the Stadium is pointed put, it's wide expanse already in eondi- ton for the interesting Olympic games aud other athletic contests, which be. gan last Saturday.
 Totum poles standing in front of tue Alaskan village seem to nod at you al She cars pass, and in the distance are the thatched roofs of Filipino habita. tons and tue white walls of Manila buildings in replica. Ou the left again
 is the giant Palace of Agriculture. the | largest building in the world. beyond which IS Horticulture, and after climb | Ing grade the tra in pulls into q wood ed area, to emerge behind the Art Pal l ace on the Plateau of States. Down grade again you go in the vicinity Of tue government group, and passing Mines and AetaliurPy and the Gu!ch adjacent you reach the main entrance once more. The magnitude of this Worlds Fair cannot be better sent home to one than by the statement that forty-hve minutes were consumed in making that round trip on the Intram. ural.
 Follow that throng ot people and you come to the banks Of the lagoons that are dotted with gondolas and electric launches. Hark to the medley of sound as the swish of the cascades joins the music of the band that iS playing on the plaza, and above all rise the notes of song from the gondolier who is swinging bis craft under the bridge on which you stand.
 Alive is the water, alive are the broad thoroughfares, alive are the great buildings, and you are told that in few weeks alive also will be the air, for then the balloon contests will be in full sway.
 Now you fully comprehend what was meant when word was sent forth 5y the Exposition management that this should be Worlds Fair in which the reveaIment Of processes should be par amount. It is one continuous panora- ma from the time you enter the gates until you leave again.
