After all complaint have been made and
mite lung about the World' Pair, tt to
probable tbat tbe question will he asked bj
ry the average American i "How shall I see
?" What thing are good to upend a long
fma oriT, what should be merely glanced at,
md what ahonld be skipped entirely. In the
init place, say the New Vork Port's Chicago
tnrreepondent, the general advice may be
riven to keep away from the Midway l'lal
nee until the end of your stay, on the ram
principle that more solid food should precede
ieeaert. Once within that fascinating side
ihow. and them la a possibility of a visitor
lot going anywhere else.
The first thing necessary for a visitor to
lo is to get the general effect of the arehlteo
nre and the grounds . This I heat accom
plished taking the Intramural Railway, aa
levated road which run Inside the fence of
the Park and takes In the complete circuit of
the Pair grounds. The tare is only ten
(wots, and the cars are comfortable and thus
far have not been crowded, hut the lntram
aral doe not afford one a eattsfsx-tory look
at the lagoons and the basins, and to accom
plish this It Is advisable that the fifty cents
necessary for a trip in an electric launch or
(none of the gondola be expended. The
Bore picturesque craft is, of course, the
Endola, but it does not move quickly nnd
route ia shorter than the route of the
launches.

The visitor having thus taken In tho gen

will probably in years to come be regarded hi
Its strongest attraction. He may now tun
his attention to the individual group o:
buildings and the exhibits. It he Is a Nea
Yorker, he will of course go to the New York
State buildings and register there, and take
look at the one building in the grounds whict
he feels he ha a right to cull peculiarly hit

until you reach the bridge Immediately in
front of the Electricity Building, when you
may cross over to Wooded Island Slid take
look at the Boone and Crockett Club' cabin.
It is a modest enough log hut, with nn old
canvas-covered wagou in front of it. and tht
doorway is ornamented with old horns. In
side there are bear and deer skins, some old
harness anil working utensils. The design if
simple enough, U-ing the illustration of the
frontier hunter's enhin, nnd is well carried
out. Having inspected this bit of the fat
west, you will do well to cross back by the
way you came, as the other attraction of the
islHnd, tho Japanese village, is not yet
sufficiently complete to warrant a visitor In
spending much time over It, when there arc
so ninny other mom completed displays.
The Mining Building which you llnd your
self in front of is hardly worth the expendi

exhibits nre partly in place, but others aro in

collection of autographs and Slate papers In

hibit of the Department of Justice.
Before proceeding further toward the
north entrance of the (lovernment Building,
fou will do well to turn to your right at the
Mid of the State. Department exhibit and go
IntotheWar Department section, where you
will see cannon and guns and uniforms and
weapons of offence nnd defence Innumerable.
There is agroup Illustrating the (ireely ex
pedition, which Is particularly life-like and
Interesting. Passing across the Hmlthsnniitn
exhibit you find yourself among the dis
plays of tho Treasury and rostofllce Depart
ments, from which you pass Into those ot
the Geological Survey, Patent Office and
other bureaus of the" Interior Department.
Next to these is the Interesting exhibit of tho
Fish Commission, and then that of the
Agricultural Department. Coming out at
the entrance nearest you, you will lie within
a few steps of the building devoted to fish
and fisheries, and this, also, is well worth
going through, for it Is In a state of progress
which very nearly approaches completion.
When you leave the Fisheries Building,
you must again pits among some of the
foreign buildings, but they arc hanMy worth
while entering at present, nearly all of them

may turn to your left after proceeding for a

side and Inside. Not all the pictures nre
hung, but there sre enough on the walls to
keep you busy for nn Indeliiiite length of
time. Shut up the whole of the rest ot tho
Fair, aud this building with its contents is
worth a journey to Chicago aud a week of
bad lodgings and bonrd.
The visitor who has followed the Itinerary
laid down hero has not yet been In the Wo
man's Building, but he may reach it by p.-tss-ng
to tho left after leaving the Art Building,
glitch will give him nn opportunity to see
.he large California und Illinois Statu bullil

Joed not pause to enter t hem, as they are not

Inished yet, is still sufficiently llnished til

llile to give It.
From the south side ot the Woman's Build

which also warrant a visit, and from there

Tho ball in her honor in the evening st
Madison Square Garden, S'cw York City, was
curried out according to tho eluborate plan
arranged and was a great sneers in every
respect. The attendance was probably a
fuihionablo and select as was ever gathered
together in the city.
Rich und mni-nitlcent a hnve been the
decoration of Mailion Square (iarden iu
times oust, it is probable that those of to
night have never been equaled; certainly
never ill this country have tin y been sur
passed. All the artistic skill of the florist
was called into play to procnt a scene that
will never be forgotten by those fortunate
enough ti wittier it. The ball look place
iu the Asrembly room, nnd on this occasion
its appearance wit that of one vast floral
bower. From the street Mow to the Inner
most recesses ol the hall there win a pro
fusion of mil lire's choicest beauties, all
combining to make n picture bewildering
in its details, charming in its conception
and harmonious in its development.
t he tloral bower began with the entrance
on the .Madison Square side and extended
to tbe stairway forming the ascent to (he
As-embly chamber above. The lobby it
self was trans ormed intoa veritable garden
Trellises covered with vines concealed the
walls und arches and shut off any glimpse
ol the ceiling. The corners of thu hull were
broken and concealed br an exceedingly
tasteful giouping tit plants, iu which ninny
blooming (lowers were intermingled. The
entrance from Twenty-sixth street wus
treated in a sitnilurlv artistic way.
