press via the Lehigh Valley railroad.
Arriving in Buffalo, after trip of ever
ehanging and wonderful scenery, at
1880 p. m, the route soon continues to
cleveland and st. Louis, which is due
to be reached at Z p. m. the next MORN
ling.
There is a Market-street trolley
(which soon speeds over the six miles
from the Union station to the Christian
Endeavor Hotel, a hosiery opposite
the central entrance of the south silse
of the EXPEDITION grounds For care,
comfort and good Accommodations it
cannot be surpassed. The nearest ex-
hibit is that contained in the Art Pal
ace and its adjoining buildings.
Here Japan displays wonderful wall
hangings, screens and pictures, all Of
white silk with animals and birds SO ex-
quisitely embroidered that one wishes
to touch and see if the fur and feathers
Iare not really there; while the lacquer
work, and varied articles of perfect
handiwork leads one to decide that this
people takes time to do many things
thoroughly besides the war. The ex-
lhibits of the United States, Great Bril-
tain, Scotland and Ireland are very
fine. One large painting represents the
coronation Of King Edward with the
incident of his rising from his throne to
assist the venerable archbishop up the
steps approaching him, to give the
blessing.
Crossing to the front of the magnih-
cent architectural crown, the Festival
Hall, the great Panorama of the Expo
sition grounds spreads out like a view
in fairy land, so beautiful and yet so
imposing. The immense auditorium of
Festival Hall afforded the pleasure Of
hearing twelve hundred voices in patri-
otto songs on its stage. and accompa-
MED by the powerful organ, while hun,
dreds of spectators listen with delight.
Taking an "Official Guide book and
its accompanying may, with the sys-s
tenatic plan of seeing some section
well each day, much satisfactory work
will be accomplished with as little fa-
tigue as is consistent with the large
spaces to be trayersed. AT the east end
of the grounds the state buildings, the
Fisheries and Government buildings,
with their contents, makes a fair be-
Iglnning. Walking through the Liberal
Arts, Varied Industries and all the
eight central palaces, and taking differ
ent aisles each time, very good idea
is gained of their general contents.
The German building has large chime
of bells. ringing several times a day;
while powerful near by, 1t has a sweet
mess that is charming when heard
across the grounds. The Mines build
ling has wonderful display Of our min
eral wealth. The great iron statue Of.
Vulcan from Alabama, the figure Of
Lots wife In a salt exhibit and SAM
pies Of numerous, beautiful and valu-
able ores found in different sections of
our country make this one of the very
interesting collections to study. The
Manufacturers building presents many
beauties Of Italian sculpture costume
exhibits, and with an almost endless
Kaleidoscope Of ingenious forms to dis
play the attractions presented. At the
Horticultural building fruits and flow
ers, with nuts and prunes, so arranged
as to simulate buildings. animals and
various shapes, how great ingenuity in
their displays.
The Agricultural building is replete
with wonders that win repay careful in
spectfon, The massive machinery in
this building for uses in the western
Igrain fields, makes the harvesting of
those crops seem much more possible
than to read of it. North Dakota has
the cabin occupied by President Roose-
welt in 1885,
,,,oIrae I, !, f,,,,,, ,,s.1, IT.,
play of its cotton industry, presided
over by King Cotton, a figure thirty
five feet high. The Ralston Food Com
pany has a fine exhibit Of their cereals,
! and still better is their lunch ROOM
where these foods are served, all very
good, and of moderate price. Next
the floral clock a most ingenious COM
bination Of machinery and flowers, with
tits dial three hundred feet in circum-
ference, its minute hand seventy four
feet long which travels each minute
over five feet of alternate groups of
red and yellow foliage plants, while at
leach hour the bell strikes the number,
and an immense hour-glass is seIf-in-
yerted and ''ceaseless time" moves OIL
The Varied Industries building, with
tAlo oAlAPUlteAA SlouH .eAIhi1ANAGH
gesting fear at the approach of disas-
tier, Egyptian antiques the wood carv-
Iings from Switzerland and many speci~
mems made with no teaching but the
natural talent possessed by these in
Igenious craftsmen, and their familiari-
Ity with natures beauties; every style
. of jewelry, laces, gold and silver work;
glass, more Japanese embroidery, also
Chinese bronzes and corals we'll repay
, inspection.
The Connecticut building is eonsid-
cred among the most beautiful of the
state buildings, while the genealogical
displays, and many quaint reminders Of
; "long, long ago." are only enhanced by
the gracious hospitality Of the officials
in charge.
In the Administration buildings are
several rooms devoted to Queen Victo-
ria's golden and diamond Jubilee pres
i ents; also valuable manuscripts, mo-
sales and paintings from the Vatican.
In fact, one can wander through every
building and section of the grounds,
and never be satisfied as long as physi-
; cally able to endure the exertion.
