ECONOMIZE TIME AT BUFFALO How in Oct Five Days of Siijht Seeing at Pan-American Into Three. Those who attend Expositions often complain of the loss of time entailed in going to and fro between their hotel and tlie grounds, and would often spend more time and money in the Exposition, if opportunity offered. Travelers who intend visiting the Pan American this year at Buffalo, Low ever, need have no trouble on this score. The Exposition is fortunate on having right In-side it a building which is in itself an object of intense interest, ami one of the sights of Buffalo we refer to Sutler's Hotel on Elmwood avenue, overlooking the grounds. This wonderful building, although only three stories high, contains over 2100 rooms and can accommodate over 6000 guests. Its dining room will seat 1200 people to a meal without crowding and so perfect is the organization, manage ment anil equipment that parties of excursionists, often numbering into the hundreds, are taken ill and fumishid with accommodations without creating so run oh as a ripple of excitement. Prom its towers and terraces a magnifi cent view is to be obtained of the whole panorama of the Pan-American, while the scene at night of the illumination of the grounds as viewed from Statler'a will never he forgotten. The erroneous impressions so frequ ently fostered by runners, etc, on trains ami elsewhere about the difficulty rf obtaining accommodations and paying fearful prices for them can all he thrown to the four winds of Heaven, for Statler's can give you a clean, comfor table room with breakfast and evening dinner for $2.00 and $2.50 a day, and guarantees to take good care of all who come. For those who do not care to hoard at the hotel, good rroms may be obtained at $1.00 to $1.50 per day, and rlirstelass meals at 35 and 50 cents each may he enjoyed at Statler's down-town restaurant In Elliuott Scpinre. Statler's, therefore, is a valuable adjunct to the Exposition and intending visitors by availing themselves of its conveniences can save themselves both time and money, and greatly enhance the plea sure of their trip.
