Should you hear a word spoken in English you would naturally look to jsee if it was any person you knew. The ggreat Exhiibition is situated in the heart yof Pnris. When 1 visited Paris 23 or years ago there wvere rnany acres of d vacant land surrounding the exhibition SI but new ail is covered with large e buildings. The total expenses of the exhibition for new buildings, etc , is 100,000,000 francs. The entrance fee d is very cheap. Ilefore 10 a. m, it is 2 afrancsafter that 50 centimes or about 1 1cts. In my fourth day's visit to the ,f Exposition 1 came across the Domin3ion 1Pianos and Organs of Bowmanville That was a great relief to me even if I could not talk Frenchi I could under- sstand Bowmianville. The Newcornbe piano were in the saine square. Before Ileft 'Canada I was reading lu one of 1 the papers that the Canadian building was the shabbiest one in the fWý While cenversing with Mr. NewconEiý-,z I asked hirn about it and he said it was' so. He brought a complaint before the commissioners aud there was an amount granted for beautifying the building. Mr. Newcombe showed me the improvements done. The building is not as elaborate as some, The ex- hîbîts throu-hout are very good, the ouly faulG I find is that the building is not in the right localîty, it is too mucli isolated. The Canadian exhibîts from the Atlantic to the Pacifie are a creditÏ to Canada. I notice many ef the agri-« cultural manufactures from Ontaro- Massey-Harris , Maxwell , Noxon, Cockshutt, McCormack, and McLaugh- lin Carrnages. It would be bard te enumerate the attractions iu Paris. If they were ail taken iu the vocket weuld flot have much. rest., 0T-ourists are corning into the city by tbiousands dailr and prices are going up double. The tourist has to pay whatever is asked or retire The hotels and boardiug bouses feel quite independient, as thougb it was for a fle time. The Eiffel Tower is a great-attraction. 01 Thousauds ascend to its summit. I t neyer want to ascend as highi again by d( any construction made by buman al hands. The tower has tbree platforms. 1, The first is arranged for many hundreds tu of visitors at a time. It coutains sevel-al ai cales and restaurants. The second ec platf orm is 37 6 feet bigh and the tbird P( 863 feet high. Total height of tower is PE 985 feet. The hoteis fronting on the rn principal streets are eutered mostly by fe the court, where the carniages are PE driven round the circle. Some courts ai are decorated beautifully with fiowers Or and founitains, The streets and foot- fr patbs are very iuide. The cafes do a ec trernendous business from 8 to 11, not 91 inside alone, but on the foot path. I T' notîced lu front, of one cafe 75 or 80 PE marbie tables. Here, I arn informed, la11 where thn fashionably dressed both se male and fernale as8emble. Ohb! do not th the ladies adorn themseives witb jewei- ery! There' are thousands who pass the evenings in this mauner. I notice the drinks are of many colors, 1 suppose te suit the taste, Again I go aboard the steamn ferry that plies up and dowu the Seine River that us through the exposition grounds The domes of the buildings on both sides of the river, the ve Eiffel tewer fromn top to bottem and w thousands ef other places are all ilIum-tr iuatedi. One would tbink from a dis- M, tance tliat the whole place w'as on ire. mi The Seine river sparkles with beauty. sa Snech sights are onward evemy evening. thi flhere are huudreds (f varions enter- me tailiments geing on nightly. Strange a1 te say you hardly see a person on the en streets intoxicated. 1 have been lu the p city oveu e week and have not seen ex as much poverty as could be seen onth the streets of London in one bour. I ne arn beginuing to feel infatuated with bu the city. I have been lu the exposition ad parts otfive days and have net seen the h tweutietb part.th THOMAS HOAR, Ce Paris, June '22, 1900. if o.
