Visitors Enjoy the
Worlds Fair at Little Cost
First Class Accommodation Furnished
For Thousands Within the Grounds
-Reservations Can Be Mads
in Advance If Desired.

The folks who raised hue and cry
about the lack of accommodations at
the worlds fair and the prospects OF
high prices at hotels. have had to take
a back seat, for the worlds fair man
agement, keenly alive to the fact that
accommodations and moderate rates
must be furnished to the people. TO as
sure the success Of the fair. have built
right within the grounds magnificent
hotel. capable of entertaining tens of
thousands of visitors. This hotel,
(which is called The Inside Inn, sur
passes in size. in general equipments
and in conveniences anything ever be-
fore attempted In the way of worlds
fair accommodations. 1t stands in the
southeast corner of the grounds, 2oo
feet above the level of the city and is
readily reached from the union station
hy the Market street, Laclede ana
Couteau avenue car lines, or from any
of the exposition gates by means OF the
Intramural railway which passes IT'S
doors. 1t is three stories high. with
broad verandas extending round the
entire building. It is 400 feet wide ana
500 feet long, contains 1851 bedrooms
and has dining room capable OF seat
ing $500 people at single meal. Inc
Inn is run on both the American and
European plans, and the rates vary
from s1.5o to $3.50 per day. European.
and from $500 to $500, American. in
Guiding admission in both classes. The
range Of prices is determined solely by
the size and location of the rooms-aH
guests having equal dining room priVi-
leges. TO those whose visit TO the ex-
position must be short, the conven-
fence of thus living within the grounds
cannot be overestimated. All weari-
some and annoying street car or subur-
ban train service is avoided and no adj
mission fee other than the first is re-
CURED. The saving thus effected is
obvious. The enormous capacity OF
che Inside Inn assures ample accommo-
cations for all--no matter when or IN
what numbers they come-and the
rates will be found sufficiently elastic
to meet every size of pocketbook.
Reservations can be made for any
period during the life of the fair. An
