City of Mexico, Nov. 2.-"vienta
Tres" means to hurry up, get out,
finish, Skidoo, or in plain English
'23,'' SO in few lines it is possible to
run rugh shod over the guide books,
and tell all about modern Mexico.
First, the city is the best governed
and policed town in the world. Like
wise the whole country for that mat
ter, the only outlawry, holding ups,
etc., happening in the rural districts,
not like in New York on 42nd street,
or all over Chicago. The climate
varies little the year round; there
never was case of yellow fever;
fresh figs, strawberries, green peas
and vegetables are served all the
year; no better hotels or restaurants
anywhere; gambling is prohibited,
lotteries are plentiful as a person is
satisfied with a small investment,
even the street car lines give you
lottery chance like a transfer slim.
this checks up the conductor as no
fares are rung up. AL funerals, by
law, use the car lines, and start from
the Zocalo (park), no carriages al
lowed; over 200 churches and cathed-
rails SUNDAYS ths, holiday, bull fights
attract $4,000 to $4,000 people, and the
talent, likewise bulls come from Spain.
Public parks in center of the city have
military band music daily, to please
the people. The cab service is under
government control, the saloons and
pulquerit cantinas close at 10 D. m.
to make the poems go to bed, while
the restaurants serve guests at any
hour. More English is spoken on San
Francisco street than Spanish, i'm
fact Mexico City is fine place Of
over half million of assorted people.
and well worthy of a visit.
Nearly three hundred million of
American money has been invested in
mines alone in this Republic the past
year. and the 'tinvasion' continues.
for now is announced the most i'm
portant amusement event in the
country's history and the inhabitants
are waiting with bewildering ex-
pectancy the advent of a great big,
real live American circus and men
agerie. The pictorial posters alone
have created CONSERVATION in the
minds of the people and eel Grandioso
Circo Sells-Floto, Museo Zoologico,
Espectaculo," will do the rest. Mr..
William Sells, the director general of
this monster Americana" enterprise
is regarded by all other circus man
ayers with admiration for his daring
and he will open an entirely new field
which will enable the large "sawdust
arena exhibitions" to continue the
year round, as it is his intention to
construct, in this city, fine, large
million dollar hippidrome that will sur
pass any indoor amusement venture
ever conceived.
My next letter will come from
Yucatan, and Ragsdale, a sausage
drummer from Kansas City, has
begged to accompany me because he
heard me say to a hote! clerk:
'Beunos dias, caballero, como esta
Pd. imprinta ell circo?" Good morn
ing, have you seen the circus pic
tures?)
punch, that's the worst roast i
ever heard a man get, and I'm glad of
it, for he overcharged us both. Now
your married man and know how to
lie, tell him some more. Call him
more things and my house win pay
expenses for us BOTH" whispered
Rags, But Rags and I are not on the
best of terms ourselves paid his
fine for giving an imitation OF a bun ]
fight with, a hack driver at ooaxclixt-
