COST OF SEEING
 THE WORLDS FAIR.
For the Majority of Visitors It Will Be Less Than Railroad Transportation to St. Louis and Return Would
 Cost In Any Other Year.

From any point within 200 miles of St. Louis a person may travel 10 t;le Worlds Fair this year, view the won ders of the Exposition for three days and expend less money than i'll any other year he would pay for train fare alone.
 This may seem an astonishing state ment. but it is fact.
 Railroad men have practically deter mined that lone fare for the round trip will be the rate during the seven important months of 1904. Public an nouncement of this only waits the pas sage of certain legislation concerning "scalpers' y tickets and formal indorse- ment by the various passenger agents associatio
 With this fact in mind clear dem onstration of the statement in the open ing paragraph can be made.
 The fare from Chicago is $1.5O. or $15 the round trip. So under the new schedule S7.50 will be put down as the i railroad fare from that city to St. Louis and return. If you are econom- ical. your per diem expenses in the Worlds Fair City need not exceed those given in this table:
 Breakfast ........................... .SO.25 Car fare to grounds. ds.............-........ .05 Admission to grounds. dS................... .00 Dinner on grounds. ds........................ .35 Car fare downtown. Wn....................... .0o supper ...-.................... 70 Nights lodgings :.........................1 1.00 : Total ........................ .S2. 4o
 Multiply $2.45 by 3, and you have S7.35. the sum total for three days sightseeing. Add to this the $7.5O rail road fare, and you have a grand total of 15 cents less than the car fare alone would cost you in any other year.
 For this money you have thrown open to you the thirteen grand exhibition ! palaces the forty and more state build ings, the fifteen and more foreign gov ernment structures, the ten great stone edifices acquired temporarily from Washington university, including tie Hali of Congresses and the Physical Culture Hall with it's adjoining Stadi- um. the Filipino Village and many other pleasant places
 Should you desire to remain longer than the three days you can do so with out greater per diem expenditure than given above.
 But, supposing that you have plenty of money to spend and desire certain l comforts and even luXuries, yet are not eXtrayagant. what will the figures be? Less than $5 day!
 Breakfast ........................... .S0.50 AG-HiSslon ...................... -o0 Admission to one or more Concessions
 or the Pike. .......................... 50 I'iiiiier ....................... .l3 Souvenirs and extras. s..................... .50 supper ....................-.-... .60 Car rare ......................... .05 Hotel room ........................... 50 Total per diem. ........................$4S S5
 Suppose you desire 10 remain six days. Tn that time you can devote a morning to one main building. an after noon to another. and so on. from Mon- day to Saturday, inclusive. passing the evenings on the Pike and the grand to- tai of the weeks expenditures will be $29.
