INSTALLATION PERIOD AT THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. 
Naturally I had a very busy time after reaching 
Chicago, the first concerned being the installation of the 
Government exhibits which were extensive and complex. 
The visit of Major Powell to the Exposition is es- 
pecially worthy of note, the following being from a letter 
of mine written to Mrs. Holmes in Washington, July 27, 1895. 
"The Powells and their group of friends came on 
Tuesday and occupied two of our parlors, the David T. 
Days took a tent and io ee got a room in the 
neighborhood. Barring a little growling about the 
available food by the ladies all passed off well. 
I took charge’ of the Major and for four days did noth- 
ing but take care of him and pilot him around. We 
saw all the anthropological exhibits and studied them 
with eare and naturally landed oceasionally in Old 
Vienna which place the Major en oyet very much. He 
is quite weak and I had to take great care not to let 
him get tired out. He expects to go on to Califor- 
nia in a few days." 1993
