In water polo there are six men to a

and backs, with one goal keeper.
Halves of six minutes are played. The
Goals. which are situated at either end
Of the tank, are boards four feet long

which they catch their first view OF this

exclaimed one woman near whom was
standing as she caught her first glimpse
of the beauty Of the cascades and the
magnificence of the grand exposition
palaces. Such is the general verdict.
For beauty, for magnificence, for extent,
st. Louis has beat the world.
There is another feature, or rather
collection of features, which seemingly
appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason, and that is "The Pike" The
fair management do not wish to appeal
to the public with side-show. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, as monument to the worlds
progress, but realizing that an amuse-
ment feature was necessary they set to
work to provide the biggest and best in
this line that has ever been known. That
they have succeeded in this is evident
to every visitor who travels "The Pike"
Nor is this great amusement feature
lacking in educational interest. Here
one may etudy the architectural fancies
of the world; here he may study the
nations of the world, their methods OF
life, their surroundings, their customs.

St. Louis.-Early visitors to the Louis
lana Purchase exposition have found
at st. Louis an exposition SO nearly COM
plete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were unfin-
ished on the opening day, and which
have since been completed. In fact in
an exposition of such proportions as
this it would be impossible to discover
a thousand little details that might lack
completion.
Weather conditions were against the
exposition management for a few days
preceding the opening. Now every
thing is favorable, and the great fair
is entirely complete. a completeness, we
must repeat, that is so enormous that
it is all but impossible to comprehend
what it has meant to the builders. The
last vestige of scaffolding that for .
few days surrounded some of the less i'm
portant buildings has been torn away;
the last wagon load of refuse hauled
from the grounds; every flower and
shrub the landscape gardeners included
in their scheme Of decoration growing
under the benign influence of spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth q
completed giant, beautiful in concep-
ton, wonderful in execution, stupendous
in size, by far the masterpiece OF the
worlds expositions.
i. Stupendous size does not half express
it. This worlds fair has many sur
prises for the visitor, but. its immense
size is the greatest astonisher of all.
Amazement at the extent of the fair is
heard from every visitor.
1t has been interesting to watch the
visitors these first days of the fair. In
teresting to see what would appeal to

the mass of humanity in their quest for
the wonders it is hard to select any one
feature that could be designated as a
general favorite with ALL OF course all
visitors are enthusiastic over the general

Electricity had only 1--WE and one
half acres at Chicago. while at ST. Louis
nine acres are given to the same de-
partment, besides a large display of
electrical generators in the Palace of
Machinery.
No one should be deferred from visit
ing the worlds fair because of the fear
that living expenses in st. Louis are too
high. If anyone has this notion it is
high time that it be dispelled. There is
absolutely no doubt of the fact that one
can find excellent living accommoda-
tions in st. Louis now at rates not ex-
ceeding the charges this same month in
New York, Chicago or any other great
American city.
No one need pay more than one dollar
day for good room. That is an aver
age rate. though many accommodations
of excellent character may be had for
less. There are many unrented rooms
at five dollars week, advertised every
day in the newspapers. Hundreds of
restaurants serve meals or give short
order service at the same rates
that prevailed before the exposition
opened.
1t is suggested that the stranger in
st. Louis. who wishes to find reasonable
clearinghouse rates, make inquiry at
a grocery store or meat market In the
vicinity where he desires to stop. The
grocers and butchers know nearly all
the boarding houses in their neighbor-
hoods, and they are quite willing to
oblige the stranger by directing him to
place to suit his purse and his tastes.
The want" columns of the daily news
papers also contain columns of small
advertisements for boarders or dodgers.
