The Lights City Editor.

St. Louis, Mo, Aug. l6. If all
the states in the Union patronized
the fair as literally as Texas is do
ing this week there wWlld be little
danger of the management declaring
"a shortage at the expiration of the
big show.
This week could rightfully be
called Texas week There were
more than three thousand Texans
on the grounds yesterday, and ac-
cording to information from the rail
road people this number will be
greatly increased before the close of
the week. The sale Of coach excur-
sion tickets Saturday was the result
of the unusual attendance today
from Texas The Texas and Pacific
delivered one thousand passengers
to the Iron Mountain at Texarkana
Saturday. The Katy, Cotton Belt
aud Santa Fe also did "A big business.
The train that the Light represen-
tshAf y NAtAhG va ht}S nat " DStG
Fair Special, brought more than two
hundred passengers, and nearly all
Of them were from Texas This is
one Of the best trains in operation
between Texas points and St. Louis.
Waxabacuis passengers can leave
/ home at 6.2J p. N. and arrive in st.
Louis the next evening at G:30
The strike of the operators doesn't
appear 10 affect the operation Of pas
ssuger trains IN toe least. Dis
patchers have been located at all
, division points aud they are hand
ling the trains quite successfully,
After spending one day and half
Of night at the fair am at d loss
IA know where to begin my observa-
tiJu % this stupendous exposition.
/ might begin by saying that the
buildings alone, which comprise the
main fe atures, and decorative struc-
tgres Of the exposition are worth
coming from any part OF America TO
see. But besides the buildings, the
exhibits they contain are not only
vast ia extent and variety, bat they
are unus ally beautiful and attractive
from The standpoint Of art and deco
rative skin, The twelve main tx.
hihit palaces are Of varied styles Of
architecture, at once pleasing to the
eye and artistic taste. The size 81
these building might be given, bat
ths mere matter of dimensions Is of
little Importance. The main thing is
that they are IN marvslousiy symme-
trical and rather simple than com
plicated IN their general execution.
Besides the exhibit buildings forty
four states and territories have
erected tndtvi iual balldiugs, each
one 81 these buildings is specific
exhibit of the state which erected IL
and In each one ot them may be
seen througs from each particular
state aud territory
it is the general opinion Of
visitors that tho Texas build
ing has toe most delightful
location ~ auy state building on

elevation aud is surrounded by a
