 Leaving here al s.s- pm, we arrived d WyLns hall an bOgT later. An h0lr was spent there FeTy p.esszn;iy oouvsT- sipe with car friends. Of whom we have a zsodIY sgmbsf in .hat splendid toHo. The Cannon Ball arrived promptly oD laae from Memphis. and He were soon comfortably located ia a handsome, e,esn ard eozy Pullman sleeper. ia which, after va had enjoyed the aroma Cf iairiy good c5zaT, se retired aud were soon obvious U al surroundings.
 We arrived al St Louis oeiiu g ntxt morning. and taking Market stree. Cal going ges. were soon landed st the Si4ie Building eItTaBcs. which is d. L q within a stones throw of the Ia s-ds Inn, the place of our abode during C4r say st the Exposition.
 Tue Inside Inn contains zz5- rooms si.d wiil accommodate g,GJ1 persona. : uaiet ss II is uloa one of tie mosi sightly. picturesque and coolest spot. U.On the Exposition grounds, t has al tae advantages Of convenience, and al t8e same time ef home in the woods. Tie trees of Forest Park surround the Ian. There ATE many acres of noble tees dotted here and there with the handsome staie buildings, 30 that the b0tel appears to bs located ID a selec. suburban section of beautiful city. Being open to the south and situated On high ground. there is an unobs;ruc- ted sweep Of southern bfeezes. Far away from the dust and gTime Of the city and yet within few minutes walk Of .be beart of the Worlds Fair, this hotel offers greater inducements as d place fl summer resort than any other ! 'stelTy in the world this season. Here the visitor nay tafry until he has seen tie Exposition completely without leav- ibg the grounds. All tue wonders that n.tions have brought together ic just without hi- window, and about him are a the comforts Of home. The tour of sightseeing may begiG with the awaken ing Of the Exposition in early morning and not close until the mantle of s!um- Der has fallen. late at night.
 These conveniences ara especially valuable to aged persons and children. for the private apartments are always near al hand during tie day and inter. sals Of rest thus taken will make the visit more enjoyable There are none of the discomforts q street traffic to aud from the grounds 10 be contended with, and all contac. with the crowds is avoided.
 The Inside Inn Is or the Plateau of States. The lntramural railway. which touches every part of the Exposition grounds, passes it's doors. From Union station 1t IS reached by direct car lines. IL oyerlooks all of the Exposition and will bc made the favorite headquarters for many prominent persons during the Worlds Fair. Rates are fromsl 90 Der day up European plan, and 8 co per day up American plan, including ad mission to the grounds.
 The dining room of this immepse ho. tel contains 2le tables with a capacity oi SIX persons to each table, or grand total oi l2sJ persons at one sitting. During our stay the capacity of this immense hotel vas taxed to it's utmost to accommodate the vast throng which sought it's comfortable quarters. In addition 10 the above there is a cafe wheie meals are served Ia carte with capacity for about 500 persons. More thdn 3ooO persons were domiciled at the laSlde Inn while we were there, and We could not say too much in praise of seN AA"habC Atit IDI tG6 manner Tn winch the crowd was cared for. and the uniform courtesies shown all guests.
 Just outside the grounds at the aprj. cultural entrance, is the Forest Park io.el' managed by that genial caterer NIT. Eli Loea, formerly of this city. He spares DO pains to see that his gueste from Arkansas are properly cared for aud comfortably homed. Mrs. Ioda to-, IS very attentive to the ladies of ths state, and extends cordial inyi. tation to Forrest City folk to make their headquarters at the Forest Park
 There is much at the Exposition un. hnished, but the story of mans achieve ment in every part of the world is told daily to the thousands who visit the great Fair the gates to which were opened on April 80 :
