4 To THE REVIEW:
thinking that few lines telling f
my experience at ST. Louis might be of
interest to the REVIEW readers, | take
this opportunity of resting and writing
little at the same time In thef
place have been agreeably su prised
IN many ways. as I find that this city
has been grossly maligned. Before
coming heard that board and room g
were both high and hard to get, that
all conven ences at the Fair had to be
bought etc. My daughter and have q
large airy room furnished in modern
stvle and with every modern conven-
lence at very reasonable rates
Restaurants abound, whore one can get
meals for 10 cents and up. We ale
within block of the Olive street car
line, which is the principal line to the
grounds and is delightful riae morn
ing and night. at least 1 consider that
one of my pleasures. The Fair is sin-
ply immense, and that isn't using slang
either In other words it is stupendous
and one can form no conception of it's
size without seeing it. The electrical
display in the evening is magnificent
spectacle, and to enjoy it fully. one is
repaid to take ride on one of the cleo
triclaunches on the lagoon at about
, eight o'clock in the evening and watch
the myriad lights as they come out by
the thousands on all the buildings and
the cascades with their changing colors,
surely it is veritable fairyland. AS
one gazes on the magnificent architect
nral art displayed on all the structures
words fail to come that would in any
way do justice to what the mind and
hands have been able to execute. AS to
the exhibits inside, they are varied and
beautiful. So far l have visited the
Liberal Arts Varied Industries"
1.-The Fishery The Agricultural and
manufactures 10 attempt to tell
what saw of interest in them all
would take too much time, but must
sag that the Iowa exhibit in the
Agricultural building is fine and one
cannot help but be surprised to see the
many beautiful things that can be and
are produced from corn, wheat, oats
etc. Beautiful scenic pictures and
even clothing; saw several wax figures
q in very stylish garb, the dress Of corn
husks, embroidered with corn silk and
other decorations of corn. The Nebras-
ka exhibit in the same building de.
serves special mention because the.
0 management have made extra efforts.
for the entertainment of visitors. There
, are rocking chairs free ice water, and
day free en- ertainment consisting
OF moving pictures, very interesting
and entertaining. The Fishery exhibit,
do not think is quite as good a. Chica-
go that is the aquarium part of it.
They have no where near as many and
varied collection of live fish, but the
: stuffed fish. birds and animale to say
nothing of the collection of insects.
cannot be surpassed. A Salmon run

beautiful. There is a cascade of
water falling into rocky bedded stream
the natural home of the salmon but the
water flows over red electric lights and
the effect is fine. must not forget to
say that have also visited Jerusalem
and consider it q fake. You pay Is
cents to get in and then it is pay, pay.
pay, until you set out. The guides are
free, that is they are advertised as free,
but they expect to be paid just the
/ same and after taking you around to
! see things. you could easily find your
self, and didn't amount to anything
after you did see them, he takes you in
to church and after you are nicely
seated. he takes up collection. Now
) few words about the Pike There
{ are forty places of amusement there. 1
| have only vlsites q few so far and will
say for the benefit of .ose intending to
visit the Pike that they should by all
means see Creation. 1t is magnifi-
cent in its production. One can spend
severa; hours very pleasantly at Hagen
/, bscks. 1t is certainly wonderful what
control is exerted over the different
1 performing animals. Imagine for
instance apig walking tight rope and
, a sea lion beating drum with one OF
its ungainly fins. The weather here So
far is delightful don't notice that it is
any warmer during the day than in
Iowa and the nights are lovely and
: cool. Tomorrow l shall visit the
> Philippine Island exhibit, during the
. day and expect to visit the Galveston
r Flood building in the evening, as 1
am told that it is very fine. In con-
clusion will say, that everybody who
possibly can, should see this Fair, it
will be money well spent and will give
one food for thought for many months
