HOW TO SEE THE
SESQUI IN A DA Y
1t Can Be Done at Cost Anywhere
From Three Dollars Up For
People From Here.
GIVES AN IDEA OF IT'S OBJECT

The Sesquicentennial can be visit
ed by folks from Lambertville and
New Hope, and a fairly good idea of
its purpose obtained, in one day at
cost from three dollars up, says
local man who was there few
days ago, and kept careful tab on
costs and time.
The trip, if made by bus via
Trenton, can be kept down to SITE
for the round trip to Market street,
Philadelphia. This man went via
the Reading Railway from New
Hope and returned on the Pennsyl
vania from Broad street. The trip
to the grounds can be made by troll
ley from either railway station at
a cost of eight cents each way. di-
rect to the grounds. Broad street
bus lines charge ten cents. Either
way takes less than twenty minutes.
In each case it is necessary to walk
across a bridge short distance to
the entrance, which is on South
| Broad street--a thoroughfare that is
the "main street" of the Sesqui.
Fifty cents is the admission fee to
the grounds, and to all the public
and commercial exhibit buildings.
Trips the length of the grounds can
be made on electric "partycars" at
ten cents per trip. The best way is
to get on one at the entrance and
ride to the entrance of League ISL
and Navy Yard, where the Govern
ment building, full of mac hinery and
mechanical appliances. is located.
! The steam and electric locomotive
exhibit, at the far end Of The bald
ing, is worth everyone's attention.
Zigzagging back toward the en-
trance, one can see each of the state
buildings, the foreign government
buildings, the art building, the lake,
the stadium, army camp, and var
ious other features. A good dinner
can be secured within dollar, at
a large restaurant, of the popular
city type, near High Street" This
thoroughfare, a reproduction Of Co
/ lonial Philadelphia, is worth the
time to stop in each building.
Early in the afternoon the steady
travelling visitor will have reached
the commercial building, which ex-
tends For a long distance along the
easterly side of Broad street back
to the entrance. There are no
charges here unless the visitor buy
something special. The japanese
are much in evidence here as in sew
eral other displays, and have by fan
! the most lavish exhibits of any for
eign peoples.
The auditorium and other nearby
| buildings may be visited before
nightfall, after which the lighting
effects may be viewed
There are plenty of comfort sta
tions, both free and with a dime
charge, and plenty of good drink
! ing water. Theer are alro many
ard convenient places to sit for a
rest. Small lunch stands take care
of those who do not want regular
meals, and those looking for econ
omy and not on diet, might fare
! pretty we'll for one day on the free
food samples.
The local people making the trip
both ways by steam railroad, spent
$6.81 ap'ece-$3.31 for railroad
and trolley fares, so cents for ad-
mission to the grounds, So for eats
and 81 for some of the "Gladway"
sights and other more or less friv
olous things on the grounds. They
had good time. If person used
the bus routes and carried a lunch
they could make the trip for about
S2.75, as a minimum. 1t will pay
anyone not yet having seen the Ses-
qui to do so during the present
month. The cost is so small that it
need not deter many, and there are
plenty Of things worth the cost.
| Some branches may be disappoint-
ing, but there will be little time to
grieve over the omissions or a one
day trip devoted to seeing the most
| in the least time
