To the Editor of Tne POST.
Dna: Stn. --Having just returned from
Chicago, where I attended the World's
Pair, and knowing that many of our
oitizens, and people of the surrounding
country are undecided whether to go and
do likewise or not, owing to ridiculous
reports that hare in some way got abroad,
I feel that I must give you a few facts
and flgnres contradicting some of those
reports, which if you will kindly publish
may help the misinformed ones to decide
in favor of the great Columbian Expos.

their second best suit and set out at once
for the "windy" city.
In the first place I felt no furious gales
of wind ; I saw no flying clouds of dust ;
I
naiad no one battling with the ale•
ments ; and so could not see that
Chicago should be called by such a name
but I was informed in the city that some.
times, owing, itis supposed, to the im-
mense height of the buildings, the wind
does sweep up tate streets with great fay,
and thus the city has received the name.
The trip there and bank by the route
I took -G. T. R, to London, C. P. R. to
Detroit, then over the Wabash to Ohf.
sago—is very pleasant and I may tell you
about it later on, but at present I will
oommence at Chicago. I arrived at the
Dearborn street depot at 10:15 a, m., phi.
sago time, just one hour behind Toronto
time, on Tuesday, June 31st. A lively
scene at the depot but policemen and of.
ficiale are reliable and coneteons and a
person need have no fear If they apply at
once to them for information. Besides
this an officer from the Bureau of infor-
mation boarded the train some miles
from the city and bald tie exactly what
to do and where to go. Another officer
checked oft• baggage to whatever part of
the oity we wished it taken, My brother
met me at the depot, we walked one
block up Polk street to State street, and
took a street oar almost to ourdestination

tanos of seven miles, in about forty
minutes, on a Cottage in

tage Grove avenue runs right past the
gate of the Midway Plaisanoe. The leIid-
way Plaisanoe is a long strip of land,
containing about eighty aoree, joining
Washington Park with Jackson Park.
The World's Fair is in the latter. From
the entrance gate we keep straight down
the Plaisanoe to Jackson Park, passing
between settlements of Indians, Lap.

and many other nationalities. Ib is In-

or boats may be hired by the hour, if you
wiely them, for a small amount, The
great Ferris wheel, an immense affair

glittering White buildings can be soon ten
