Lewis and Clark Visitors to See Bic
W. Bunch Of Shows

enable the visitor to the Lewis and
Clark exposition to see every conces-
sion on the Trail, the amusement thor
oughfare of the Centennial. At st.
Louis it cost in the neighborhood Of
$50 to see the Pike" with its 70 shows
and many Of them were not worth the
price Of admission. The Trail offers
S5 Of the finest attractions ever includ-
ed in an exposition. Fancy seeing IS
shows for 81.
The most expensive concession on
the Trail is the Carnival Of Venice. a
spectacular production designed by the
King of the Ballet" Bolossy Kiralfy.
The price of admission to this attrac-
tion is so cents. and after seeing the
show the fee will be pronounced rea-
sonable. Five hundred persons parti-
cfpate on the stage. The scene is laid
IN Venice and by means Of some very
fine scenic offerings the illusion is
faithfully carried out, even to the can
ais of that Italian city. The canals
are of real water The = Carnival Of
Venice Is a terpsichorean extravaganza
OF the highest order.
Leaving the Carnival Of Venice the
visitor meanders over to the Homer
Davenport Farm. Paying 25 cents ne
enters and beholds the foremost car
toonist Of the world comfortably seat
ed on rustic bench before a crudely
built log house. Surrounding the H.
lustrous penman are hundreds of
hlooded fowls. several specimens OF
horses of Arabian blood and a magnifi-
cent Hambletonian. Davenport will be
found affable. urbane and democratic.
and IL the visitor is of the right sort
the cartoonist may offer him a modest
sketch as a memento.
Across the way from Davenport's is
the Klondike mining exhibit This con
cession is pre-eminent from an educa-
tional standpoint and offers the visi-
tor truthful portrayal OF mining
methods in vogue in the gold fields ol
Alaska. The building that houses the
show is designed inside in panorama
effect and a full sized placer mine 1.
found In operation. Clean-ups of rea
gold worth $4,000 are made every hour
The admission is 25 cents.
Following the Trail the visitor en-.
ters the Streets Of Cairo. paying fe,

now a diminutive donkey belabored b,

| gains entrance to this foreign shov
house and spends a pleasant half hou
viewing the antics Of a strange peo
pie.
A wonderful snow Is located almos
oppo tie the Streets OF Cairo. the In
fhnt Incubators. There il no gaiety
about this concession. 1t represents tn
most astonishing achievement OF mod
ern science. the nurturing Of the hu
man being by artificial means. In tn,
pleasing little building housing thi
attraction are several ingeniously con
structed incubators containing real
live infants. Visitors are allowed 4
gaze at them through plate glass, an
apparently the tots are content to re
main in their snug homes. The admis
sion to the infant incubators is 2
cents.
And so on down the Trail the ,visito
may meander. A great many Of tn
shows offer admissions as low as i
cents. The visitor finds foolish show
ana serious shows. or he may devot
his time TO instructive shows. N
matter how hard he Hits the TrAir
he cannot spend more than 81. whicl
