ernment building. where the navy,
the war; the postal and other de-
partments have some stunning ex-
hibits, and where you ought to
spend two hours or more. The gov
eminent fisheries building is but a
few feet from this place and into it
you can pass and spend and hour or
more looking at the different vari-
cites of fish exhibited, the Matching
process, and the seals in the center
tank of the building. 1t will be six
o'clock when you finish this exhibit
and all buildings will close for the
day. You will eat dinner at one of
the restaurants near by, pay roober
prices, even paying for hot water IT
you wish it, and then take ride on
the inter-mural railroad around the
grounds. Be careful that you get on
to the car going the long way. This
will slowly wind its way around the
grounds, ride ofeight or ten miles,
the speed being purposely reduced
to allow you to see everything on
the way. You will obtain a general
view of the grounds, see the Filipino
village, the Indian village, the domi-
Gle of the Patagonians, and the like,
and the ride will rest you wonder
fully. Be sure and be at the COM
memorative monumental few minutes
before 7:30 o'clock. At that time
the lights are turned on, dimly at
first, gradually growing stronger,
until, at the end of sixty seconds
the most wonderful electrical effect
is complete. The waters commence
falling over the cascades and the be-
wildering scene is perfected. Take
a ride on a gondola or a launch,
listen to the songsof the gondoliers,
and you will be enchanted.
ON THE PIKE.
1t is eight o'clock and time that
you are over on the pike, the great
cosmopolitan thoroughfare of the
show-where the Turk and the In
dian, the Jap and the Chinese, the
Filipino and the Patagonian, the
Arab and the Sulu, the Spaniard
and the German, the French and the
Highlander, the Italian and the Aus
trian, are all humping shoulders
with the American. The Indian
squaw, richly clad in buckskin gar
ments, with papoose strapped to her
back, will excite the greatest won
derment, but in this pike of the ma
lions you will be as much of curl
osity to most of them as they are to
you, and you muslin lose sight OF
the fact. A snap shot of a gaily be-
decked buck will result in YOU be-
ing tapped for quarter, and an
ugly Indian display if you fail to
give down. And here it is well to
recall a witnessed scene wherein an
old buck, accosting a pretty Ameri-
can woman, insisted that he had
seen her before-on the Pan-Ameri-
can Fairgrounds, when she had
cheap less powder on than at this
time, " and the buck told her she
was growing old.
A couple of hours on the pike,
taking in the shows at either end,
will be enough for one evening, and
if, by ten o'clock, after following our
course, you are not anxious to follow
US to bed you are hard person to
make weary. Turn out at six O clock
the next morning, takea good wash,
get breakfast and get over on the
grounds at 7:30, starting where you
left off the following day, all the
time carrying a map of the grounds
and crossing of the buildings you
have been in and other sights you
have witnessed. Do this system
atically, because by system alone
can you expect to see everything
and save the greatest number oil
steps. The buildings where varied
industries, machinery, mines and
metallurgy, electricity, manufac-
lures, education and social economy,
and the like must all be inspected,
