MILTON DOUD WRITES AN IN.
TERE STING LETTER FOR
THE NORTHERNER.

amusement street and jamestown is no
exception to the rule. A brief descrp-
ton of the "War Path" may be of inter
est to some OF The True Northerner
readers.
Stop a moment and hear little Johnny
Iokley sing. When johnny has finlshed
warbliLg you learn that you are now
standing in front of Princess TriXies
palace. TriXie, thu queen OF educated
horses. She knows more than most
horses and even Jim Key and Forest
Tempest will have to take their hats OIL
to the Princess. Next door to this we
find Paul Revere's Ride, illustrating the
famous poem by Longfellow. First you
are shown the old town of Boston as it
looked in 1915 and then you are taken
across the river and in Imagination take
that early morning ride across the coun-
try with Revere from Boston to LeXing-
ton and Concord. The Esquimau viii
lage is the next stop. Here we lind the
natives Of the frozen north spearing,
hunting, fishing, playing their favorte
games and doing thousand aud one
different things all suggestive of their
own country. Perhaps some of you will
remember the Esquimau oaby who was
born at the Chicago fair and christened
Columbia by Mrs Potter Palmer. Co
lumbia is here and forms one Of the
main attractions of the SHOW.
The streets of Seville represent a Sec
ton OF that old Spanish city and is a
good place to separate yourself and your
money, but the theatre with Its beauti-
full Spanish dancers and singers is a real
treat and should not be overlooked.
"Pharaoh's Daughter" is the alluring
title of the next attraction, which we
visit. The balahoo Informs Us, Don't
think that because we have a biblical
name that you are going in there to see
oysters opened with prayer, because you
are not. If you want to see beautiful
women, beautiful scenery and gorgeous
gowns step inside. The one price, 10
solutely Free" We go 10. There in the
center of the stage isethe statue of Tota,
the goddess of the Nile Gradually the
statue fades and in its place stands the
figure of a beautiful woman, who comes
down from the throne of marble. Moses
is seen approaching in his basket on the
right, while Pharaoh's daughter slowly
picks her way through the oyster shells
to the bank of the river on the left They
meet, shake hands, the curtain falls, and
This way out, please" "Buncoed again,
by gosh"
The Destruction of San Francisco may
interest us for while. We see the city
in miniature as it was the day before
the earthquake, then the machinery is
set 10 motion, the ground rolls, rain
falls, and amid flames and falling build
ings the curtain goes down. Wasn't
that grand?"
The baby incubator, is the next on
our line of march Here we have real
live, kicking, squirming, yelling babies
being Matched out by machinery. Well,
not quite that, but we will let the ladies
90 10 while we wait outside and pass the
time of day with Miss Jones, the dis
penser of tickets at the box office. yes,
today there are two white ones and one
black one"
a trip to the Klondike is good, SHOW
ing you an actual cleanup of $50, 900 in
real gold at every performance.
Sorcho's deep sea divers are next but
we will pass him up. Sorcho has indi-
gestion and refuses to recognize photo
passes, although his exhibition of sub
marine diving is very instructive, so
they say.
Do you like to see trained animals?
Very well then, here is Fararie, the
animal tanner, VINO is excelled by no one,
not even Hagenbeck. One may well
spend the afternoon with Fararie watch
ing the antics of some 800 wild animals
and feel that the time has been well
spent.
Our time is short and we'll not linger
long at the Palace of Mirth, Congress of
Beauties, Streets of Constantinople,
Temple of Wonders, nor even at the
l0l Ranch, but we will stop at the one
GROWING educational and historical
feature Of the exposition the Monitor
and Merrimac. That famous battle is
reproduced. and it is easy to imagine
yourself standing on the shore of Hamp.
ton Road witnessing the encounter
which revolutiunized naval warfare and
marked the passing of the old wooden
battleship and the incoming of the iron
clad man of war. The electrical effects
are superb while nothing more real and
warlike could be wished for than the
burning of the Cumberland, the sinking
of the Congress and the actual engage.
ment between the Confederate boat
and the Yankee cheesebox.
| think that we have visited most oil
the important "War Path" shows. OF
course there are many more, anc
some OF you may want to shoot the
chutes, but altogether we have spent
pleasant afternoon and evening and are
ready to 60 back to Norfolk town, tirec
but happy.
