All that is novel and new is e1,111)0d- ied in the words "A trip to the Moon." It is one of the concessions en the Midaray that is °Lard thesterotyped rut of athusement. One seats himself com- fortably in an opera chair, and, with- out the movement of a muscle, passes through the experience of taking a trip on an :Lirship. One seems to journey all of that 240,000. In reality all pass- e,s befm•e him in such panorama, splen- dor that he is deluded into the belief that he is moving. My friend, Doctor Rollins, avows to this day that he ac- tually stepped unto the secondary planet or Satellite. Taking it all in all, however, it is a pleasantplace for a party to spend some time while seek- ing for the lighter vein of amusements on the liNiklWay. AT ALT NURNBERG. For a quiet supper aaya.Y from the strife of the Midway, with a band ex.. celled by none in the country zit the present time, visit Alt Nurnberg. It is the German village of the Midway. It is not like the so-called German vil- lages. On the contrary it is a, place patronized by the refined element. For a real German supper, such as the Germans only cook, it is .the place to go. The cooking there is excellence itself, while the service is surpassed by none. DARKEST armca.
