Those who desire to keep in touch with the world‘s progress and who wish to spend a. most pleasant and profitabm time sliould not fail to ca the largest and most col;.r.chen- Eire Exposition that has ever been 'nmvn as 8. "World's Fair" and now is the time to go. I The Grand Trunk have also installâ€" ed exhibits at the Eastern Canada ,Exposition held at Sherbrooke, Que. t the Canadian National Exhibition, oronto, and the Western Pennsylâ€" 'ania Exposition, Pittsburg, I’LL, all ow taking place. The Western Pen- nsylvania Exposition is one of the largest annual fairs held in the Unitâ€" ed States and lasts 46 days. The space occupied by the Grand Trunk is 3,000 feKt and it is estinmted that. not less than half u million people will visit the display. "World's Fair" will readily bring 11‘ iist of these places. Without :1 perâ€" sonal Visit no one has any concep- irtion of the magnitude, grandeur, ar- tistic beauty and greatness embodied in the 1240 acres that contain the displuys from every country in the unherse and embrace the acme of perfection and evolution of liberal arts and Science up to the twentieth century. To see this with cne's own eyes is worth years of study and is an education in itself. His Majesty's famous Grenadier i‘Band from England and renowned {throughout the British Empire open- ‘ed a six Woeks’ engagement at the Fair on August 29th and crowds surâ€" roundcd the stand applauding- lustily to every number. The nightpfi‘ect en the grounds with the buildings illu- minated with myriads of electric 'lights is beyond description, and ‘must be seen to be fully appreciat- ed. One noticeable feature of the Exposition is the facility for the economy of the visitor's time and ‘the saving of his strength that has ‘been provided. Gondolus, electric I’launches and boats traverse the two imiles oi lagoons which surround the [Main buildings and an intramural ,u'nilway reaches every part of the ‘grounds. Rolling chairs may be seâ€" cured for trips through the buildings Innd elsewhere. and large automo- biles with well informed Guides make trips throughout. the grounds. Meals can be secured on the grounds at reasonable rates from twentyâ€"five icents up to any price one likes to pay. The Grand Trunk Exhibit of the Forestry, Fish and Game Build- ing is nttracting much attention and the conccnsus of opinion is that it is the finest in the building. The many fine pictures of the fishing, hunting and summer resort districts in the Provinces of Ontario and Queâ€" ‘bec appeal to the sportsman and ‘tourist and the animated picture machines showing the “International Limited" and scenic pictures of difâ€" ferent. sections of the line holds the attention of visitors, bringing Can-‘ 'ada prominently before the people of the American continent. Interesting Gossip About Some Prominent People.

Charlton, of the Grand Trunk Rail- Nay System, who has just returned [tom the "World's Fair” at St. Louis, some interesting information Was gleaned regarding this largest of Expositions ever held. Many of the Eastern people, said Mr. Charlton, are under the impression that the temperature of St. Louis at this time of the year is unbearable and that the mercury reaches a high point. This impression is quite er- ,bz'oueoun and the average for the past Week shows 72 degrees. The days are pleasant and the evenings cool and comfortable. Thousands of peo- ple are now reaching St. Louis from all parts of the country and during the rest of the life of the Exhibition (December lst) hundreds of thou- sands will have visited this mam- moth undertaking. rl‘o avoid the crowds that will undoubtedly be there later all those wishing to see the Exposition to the best advanâ€" tage should go now before the ex- ceptional] large crowds are in eviâ€" dence. ’I‘ie attendance is' increasing every day and last Monday nearly 200,000 people passed through the gates. Another erroneous idea which seems to have gained ground is the rice charged for accommodation at. t. Louis, the rumor of which is un- warranted.

This is a most satisfactory result for the month. When King Edward was a little boy, a party of Ojibway Indians, who were given an audience bv Queen Victoria, caused him much amusement, and he ran about among them, pulling at their fringed legâ€" gings and examining their trappings without the slightest fear. One of the chiefs delighted him hugely by presenting him with an eagle's leaâ€" ther and a. bear's claw, and also made the little Prince, a pretty speech, describing him in true Red Indian fashion as “the Very big litâ€" tle White Father whose eyes are like the sky that' sees all things, and who is fat with goodness like a win- ter bear.” “Sir Frederick Holder, Speaker of the House of Representatives, preached twice in the Methodist Church, Golden Square, Bendigo, last Sunday." This item 01' news, exâ€" tracted from the latest Melbourne papers, may sound a little strange at this side of the world. but such announcements have long been familâ€" iar to Australian readers.

Sir John Jackson, who was not successful in Winning the seat at Davenport, England, has probably built more docks than any other contractor in the World. He is fifty- two, and a Yorkshireman; began his engineering career in the ’l‘yneside shops, and undertook his first Con- tract at tlie early age of twentyâ€" four. This was at Newcastle, and the work was so well done. that young, Jackson made a bid for the completion of the Queen’s Dock at Glasgow. He was then twentyâ€"five, and the work took three years. When it was finished his name was made, and thenceforward dock and harbor construction became the work of his life. Genial, unaffected. and imâ€" mensely rich, he is one of the most broadâ€"minded of men: and it speaks we]! of him that, though he {arer h'as fewer than 5,000 men at Work for him. he has never had a sirike.
