Notes.
ELIZABETH HORNEY

Correspondence of the Palladium
st. Louis, September 19.-In this
first letter especially, l shall not at
tempt full description of any class
of exhibits, for may duties have kept
me so busy that l have taken but a
cursory glance at anything thus far.
OF course, what l have to say will
not be for the edifcation of those who
have been here, but hope that | may
be Of some slight benefit to those who
are yet to come, or will not come.
One word to those interested in
passes may be Of help, for a World S
Fair pass is obtainable only after a
goodly amount Of red tape and the
payment Of two dollars and the ex-
penditure of nearly three hours time.
As a result you get temporary pass.
In the meantime you've had your
picture taken by the flash light pro
cess. You are told to return within
week and get your monthly pass
book and in it you'll find the most
abominable caricature Of yourself you
ever beheld. Of course, the photo is
necessary for Identification but you
do wish Messrs. Dalby or Parsons or
some other reputable Richmond photo
grapher held the position Of World s
Fair photographer. Upon pass you
can enter the Exposition grounds any
| tfffe from a. m. till 1890 p. m.
From the latter hour till midnight
