Automobile Ride.


Automobile Ride.
Wednesday was Automobile day for
the editors. This was a, compliment
tary ride in the Fay exposition auto
mobiles around the city of ST. Louis
and environs, rendered offlclally by
the Minnesota Exposition commission
to the Minnesota Editorial assocla-
| ton. The governor and his staff also
got in under the same canvas. There
was room for all, and the ride was
heartily enjoyed.
ssThe Pike Rare and Clean.
Perhaps it would be fair to call
Wednesday ssPike day Nothing of
fetal was doing on that day, and
large share of the party went to the
amusement end of the fair, though
of course it was also the place where
many of them could be found each
evening. The Pike at the st. Louis
exposition is the biggest and best ar
ray of entertainments of its kind
ever brought together at great fair.
The amount of capital invested is
enormous. One of the concessions
alone represents cost of nearly
million dollars, and half a million
apiece has been spent on several 9th
ers. Not only is The Pike expensive
and extensive, but it is clean. This
is not the place for critical estimate
of each show and entertainment, but
it is perfectly true that a visit to
any one of them selected at random,
or to all of them, will give the visitor
more than his moneys worth and
will not shock him beyond a safe
voltage. 1t was the subject of gen
| eral remark that the Pike people were
| among the most courteous and gen
tlemanly at the fair, one of whose
strongest points is the uniform and
unfailing courtesy of every person in
any official position. A Coney Island
barker" would have several kinds of
fits at the liberties taken on The Pike
with that important and naughty
class; and everybody, the ''barkers"
included, seem to think it is all right.
Inland Type Foundry.
On Thursday the editors accepted
an invitation of the Messrs. Schraub-
stadters to visit the Inland Type
| Foundry, model mandatory of
type and printers supplies. The
party was attentively shown the vari
Gus processes on the seven floors of
the building, timely entertained with
a sumptuous lunch, and presented
with numerous souvenirs of a most
instructive and pleasant visit. Not
the least attraction of The Inland
was the presence of our old Mime
sotan, Frank Verbeck, whose recent
management of the Chicago branch
has but added to his geniality and
good fellowship.
Tribute to President Macdonald.
One of the pleasant episodes of the
trip took place here in the presenta
ton to President C. F. Macdonald of
! a beautiful gold watch and chain, the
associations appreciative comment on
his courtesy, thoughtfulness and de-
votion to it's welfare. In his appro-
pirate speech of presentation, c. w.
/ Stanton referred to President Mac
donald's ability and high standing,
which had contributed to bring him
the presidency of the association;
and gave beautifully eloquent com
parison between Col. Macdonald's vir-
tues and the various features of the
timepiece. President Macdonald had
a neat response, saying among other
things that the kind things said about
him, and the beautiful gift itself,
were far less applicable to the presi-
tee of the Association, who had
borne the lions share of the respon-
sibility and work.
