credit to old Bourbon, taking all the pre-
miums on that grade of tobacco. Dan
Peed has charge Of this display and re-
ceived nearly all the premiums. Mr. Peed
deserves great credit for his efforts in this
exhibit as no doubt Bourbon would have
been without representation only for this
gentleman.
On Thursday the party in body, "did
the Pike" every attraction extending
courtesies except one. The Pike is about
one mile in length and better lot of at

the following attractions, all of which ex-
tended courtesies to our crowd: The

Village, Over and Under The Sea, Hagen
beck's, Japanese Village, Old St. Louis.

quimaux Village, Cliff Dwellers, Cairo,
Jerusalem and Asia; the very best attrac-
tons are the Galveston Flood, Battle
Abbey, New York to the North Pole,
Over and Under the Sea, Boer War and
Wild West Show. The above attractions
are estimated to have cost $1,000, 900.
The most beautiful sight is the electri-
cal display. to be seen properly you must
take ride on the Lagoon from which you
can see all the principal buildings brilliant
ly Illuminated.
Festival Hall, The Cascades, and the
Terrace of States are the most prominent
among the dazzling sights to be seen after
dark from this beautiful waterway.
The area of the Fair is 1,24O acres;
area under roof 1913 acres; length, ~

$50,0~O,0O0 The Palace of Agriculture
is the largest building on the grounds be-
ing 500 by 900 feet There is 80 miles
of asphalt and gravel roadways
To describe the exhibits and the various
buildings would be an end less task. From
our observation of the Fair, we think if
surpasses the Chicago Fair covering three
times as much ground.
The Fair is about completed, and in
three weeks it will be in "apple pie or
der" The best time to visit the EXPOSE
ton will be about the first of September
Among the ex-Parisians we met in St.
Louis was Domingo Garcia who is spend
ing several months IN that city and from
there he will go to his home in Porto
Rico. We also met Mr.. Fred Gorham
who has for three years been connected
with the St. Louis Globe Democrat and
now has charge of half the circulation de-
partment. Fred is a handsome Young
man and is married, being the proud father
of a handsome boy. Mr. Gorham saws he
will be president of the concern some day.
Carey Morgan, Jr., was another Partisan
whom we met and he was very glad to
see his old friends. Mr.. Morgan is one of
the Jefferson Guards and is we'll informed
about the different points of interest about
the grounds and took great pleasure in
directing his country cousins about how
to get in and out the gates and showing us
to the most interesting sights
On Saturday the Kentucky crowd be-
gan to separate and the most of them left
for home. 1t was suggested that the
next outing be held in February and take
in the Mardi Gras and a side trip to Cuba.
This would make an elegant trip and is
favored by nearly all the press. s. C.
