THE OOLOGIST.

Secretary of War Elihu Root: "It is 

 a splendid exposition, worthy of being 

 seen by the whole world." 



Governor Richard Yates of Illinois: 

 "If Paradise has anything more beauti- 

 ful than the Pan-American Exposition 

 has when illuminated, I can't conceive 

 of it." 



Passing from the enchanted courts 

 into the splendid palaces one reads in 

 the comprehensive exhibits the storv of 

 development and progress in the New 

 World during the Nineteenth Century, 

 vast discovery, stupendous invention, 

 marvelous advancement, which consti- 

 tute an example never before furnished 

 in the revolution of time. 



Buffalo is amply prepared to accom- 

 modate all who come to the Exposition. 

 The rates are reasonable. The report 

 that the hotels are charging $5 to $10 a 

 day for single rooms is uttery absurd. 

 These charges are for magnificent 

 suites with extraordinary conveniences 

 at one or two hotels There are scores 

 of hotels where the charges for rooms 

 are $1 to $2 per day. At the mammoth 

 hotels near the Exposition the charge 

 for lodging, breakfast and evening din- 

 ner is but $2 50 and $2 a day. The 

 charges at downtown hotels are as 

 reasonable. 



There are upwards of 200 hotels in 

 Buffalo, with accommodations for 45, 

 000 people. There are 650 boarding 

 boarding and rooming houses, accom- 

 modating 18.500. More than 10.000 

 householders have opened their homes 

 and will provide accommodations for 

 more than 100,000. The rates are 50c 

 to $2 per day. 



In a mnjority of the boarding houses 

 and at many private houses lodging 

 and breakfast are to be had for $1.00. 



To sum up the situation, Buffalo and 

 its environs are capable of accommo- 

 dating nearly a quarter of a million 

 visitors in a comfortable manner and 

 at rearonable rates. 



It is well when convenient for the 

 intending visitor to make arrangements 

 for accommodations in advance. The 

 Pan-American Official Bureaa of In- 

 formation. 213 Ellicott Square, Buffalo, 

 will furnish all necessary information, 

 including lists of places where lodgings 

 may be engaged, with prices, and a list 

 of reliable rooming agencies and frater- 

 nal order's information bureaus. 



There are plenty of restaurants 

 where good service is given at reason- 

 able prices. There are places on the 

 Midway where a good lunch can be 



had for 20 cents and a satisfactory din- 

 ner for 35 cents. 



Admission to all the exhibits build- 

 ings of the Exposition is free. In this 

 group are included the great Govern- 

 ment, Machinery and Liberal Arts, 

 Electricity, Fine Arts, Horticultural, 

 Mines, Graphic Arts, Ordinance, Agri- 

 cultural and Heavy Railway Exhibits 

 Building, in which the visitor might 

 spend with profit to himself several 

 days. The great Stadium in which 

 sports are held daily, is also free. 



Nowhere before have so many mer- 

 itorious attractions been offered for-the 

 sum of 50 cents for adults and 25 cents 

 for children as at the Pan-American 

 Exposition. These include, daily con- 

 certs by the best bands on the Western 

 Hemisphere, organ recitals by the lead- 

 ing organists of the United States, and 

 drills by United States Marines, U. S. 

 Heavy Artillery, U. S. Life Saving 

 Corps, and U. S. Hospital Corps. 

 There are grand displays of fireworks 

 on special days.

A NOVELTY! 



In the way of International Expositions. 

 Boys Imitate Their Elders in an Inter- 

 esting Enterprise. 



Dayton, Ohio to be the site of a Display 



of the Products of many States and 



Countries. 



The "Juniors" of the Dayton, Ohio, 

 Young Men's Christian Association 

 have inaugurated a genuine novelty in 

 the way of Exposition propositions. 

 The boys cf all lands, and their older 

 friends, are invited to contribute speci- 

 mens of the natural products of their 

 respective neighborhoods for exhibition 

 at Dayton during two weeks in Septem- 

 ber. 



The responses have been so generous 

 that this Junior World's Exposition 

 scheme has outgrown the original 

 thought of the youthful promoters, and 

 is becoming quite an extensive affair. 



In the beginning an Exposition com- 

 pany was formed, the shares selling 

 solely to members of the Dayton Junior 

 Department, an organizition of boys
