The Worlds Fair,

There is no question, from what we
learn from all who have returned from
the fair, that it is well worth seeing, and
all it costs to visit it. 1t is as much
larger than the great Worlds Fair at
Chicago as that was larger and better
than the average county fair. The
japanese and Philippine exhibits are
alone larger than the whole Buffalo
exposition.
The cost is not excessive. A party of
two ladies', who have just returned after
spending ten days at the fair report a
total cost of only about $50 each, The
railroad ticket costs S24 for fifteen day
trip which gives ten days on the grounds.
The Pullman rate for a berth that two
can occupy is S13 for the round trip.
Large, nice rooms in private residences
with bath privileges, cost only 81 a day
for each person, and small single rooms
same rate. Meals do not cost any more
than in Boston or New York At the
Inside Inn 80 cents pays for breakfast OF

afford the trip to 60 If you wish a
room in a private residence, you will
find a bureau with headquarters in the
Union Station that will furnish it with
out charge, and, if ladies are alone
send messenger with them free OF

does not suit, come back and they viii
give you another and no charge for the
