Following the con­ vention one hundred and sixty-eight members of the press party left for New York and the World’s Fail’ where they were royally entertained. We were met in Niagara Falls by W. J. Beer, Jack Moise and Ro­ bert Southcott and we left shortly after the noon luncheon on Satur­ day by automobile ahead of the main party. We motored to Buffalo and from there took No. 20 highway to Geneva and then down by Lake era to Watkins Glen arriving in the afternoon. Watkins Glen marvel of nature that must be to be appreciated. It is a water­ course one and a quarter miles long cut through solid rock. There are 700 steps to climb to the top. We took a taxi to the top and walked, down. We met numerous persons who found the walk up exceedingly strenuous. At every turn in this winding ravine one marvels at the sight that opens before their eyes. Layer after layer of stone that twists and turns in every conceivable shape and form greets the eya. One can imagine that millions of years were required in the formation, After leaving Watkins Glen we motored for a couple of hours and finally camped for the night in a wayside cabin among the hills on the Susquehanna Trail. The trip across the Catskill mountains was exceedingly picturesque and very interesting. We crossed the Hudson river over the Bear Mountain bridge and entered New York in the middle of the afternoon on Sunday, streets were practically free traffic compared with what were on the following days. We joined the Press Party at 8.45 Monday morning and special buses took us to the Fair Grounds where we were admitted free and where sightseeing buses took the party on a sightseeing tour of the fair by courtesy of the World’s Fair man­ agement. The party wound up at the Canadian pavilion where they [ were received by Douglas S. Cole, Canadian Trade Commissioner. Fol­ lowing an inspection of the building a group photograph was taken. The party were next entertained to lunch­ eon at the National Advisory Com­ mittee building by courtesy of the Canadian Trade Commission. The afternoon was free for sight­ seeing. Electric trains, small elec­ tric taxis and push chairs were avail­ able for transportation. The wea­ ther was warm and transportation on foot became exceedingly tiresome about the middle of the afternoon. At seven o’clock a complimentary dinner by the Fair Management was served in the Knickerbocker Inn, in > Little Old New York Village. It re­ presented New York in the Gay j Nineties, with streets lighted by gas, horse-drawn street-cars, hansom cabs and patrol wagons clattered over the ! cobblestones. On a raised platform j old-time stars of the stage and of sport entertain you. In the evening the party attended ; a complimentary presentation of -At the home of Miss Edna j “The Hot Mikado” in a ball seating Assoemtion I ual sterilized towel and mechanical- You can see the miu being sterilized, bottled and capped.

Here are found the repro­ ductions of Shakespeare’s House the Cheshire Cheese, the Jolly Mermaid, the Old Curiosity Shop. An interest­ ing stage show was provided. In the evening the party were the guests at Billy Rose’s Aquacade in the Marine Amphitheatre on Foun­ tain Lake, starring Eleanor Holm and featuring Johnnie (Tarzan) Weismuller, Gertrude Ederle, Olym­ pic diving champions and a host oi swimmers that perform with grace and ease in the sparkling water. It is one of the most spectacular en­ tertainments on the grounds. When you realize that there are around three hundred buildings scat­ tered over the 1600 acres that com­ prise the fair site, one can only touch the fringes in a short visit. The theme centre is the Trylon and Perisphere. The Trylon is a 700- foot tower. The Perisphere is a ! 200-foot globe containing the exhibit “The City of Tomorrow” where you look down from it as if miles up in the sky.

On Tuesday morning buses and passes were again provided to the grounds. A special showing was ac­ corded the party to see the General Motor's exhibit of the “Highways and Horizons Futurama” and their stage show “Tomorrow’s Industries” One cannot cease to marvel at the ingenuity and the expense required to conceive and put into action such a marvellous exhibit. The stage show gave many interesting demon­ strations of what might be expected in the future. For a woman to sit on a stove, read the morning paper and fry an egg with the frying pan seated in her lap is not beyond the realm of possibility. Following the stage show the party were taken to see the “Futurama.” Seated in cofiifortable sound-chairs, visitors enjoy a thrilling scenic ride into the future, a tour through what seemed to be many miles of land­ scape. Past them streams a realis­ tic miniature country-side, with cites and towns, rivers and lakes, valleys and mountains, forests and fertile fields executed in perfect de­ tail. Through this landscape run super highways of the future, busy with moving traffic, safety intersec­ tions and automatic lighting. A sound system, probably the most in­ genious ever devised, brings the voice of the announcer into each chair to describe each fresh scene. The “futurama” covers an area of 35,738 square feet, and contains about 500,000 individually designed houses, more than a million trees of eighteen species, and 50,000 scale­ model automobiles of which 10,000 are in actual operation over super­ highways, speed lanes and bridges.
