THE WORLD'S GREATEST PARK Mwrview--Chicago's Dazzling Fairyland of Amusement Devices. To see Chicago at play one must go to Kverrltw. Great cities are attractive in Say moods and "the metropolis on the ike" is never merrier than when disport­ ing itself in this \vondertul park. The Eoman hip# idrome cannot be com­ pared with this great park, either in magnitude, fabulous investment or at­ tendance. Frequently £50,000 men, women and Children are within the enclosure of the vast and beautiful resort. Instantly after one enters the White masonry Of the gates and till he emerges, he is mys • tided, bewildered, entranced. Broad vis­ tas lead everywhere to turreted pavil- lions, circuses, theaters, ballets, "Streets of Cairo," ball parks, casinos, water chutes, cascades, electric launches, minia­ ture railways, "Wild West Shows," aerial coasters, menageries, Japanese pagodas and open air concerts by the world's fin­ est bands. Blvsrvisw Is a festival city, with its Chimes of bells, peals of orgar»i, roar of trains, cooling swish of waters, dashing of foaming lakes, boat whistles, stringed Instruments, "tom-toms," euphonies of bagpipes, chanting of Indians, hymrial? In sacred plays, yells of cowboys, reports of rifles and crash of artillery, "roaring of lions, vocalizations of a million birds and animals, jubilee singing, shouts and laughter, and sounding above all, the majestic strains of Bohumir Kryl's great band. Its Chutes cascades, 500 feet in mid­ air, spray crystal waters in continuous rainbows. Gay gondolas descend In clouds of mist, dashing downward until they skim the surface of the lake, lash­ ing its transparent waters into foam Laughter and shouts of delighted pas­ sengers accompany the musical murmur of the falling cascades.^ In a thrilling "Wild West," cowboys and Indians exhibit feats of broncho rid- inc. The biblical story of Babylon is en­ acted by 1,000 young men and women in the classical costumes. In Big Otto's Animal Jungle, "Miss Dixie," young, pretty and fearless, en­ ters a den of lions, jaguars, panthers and wildcats. She 6eizes the jaws of,a Nu­ bian lion, forces them open and thrusts her head between great teeth that gleam dangerously against her white throat. A naval battle between the Monitor and Merrlmac; the "Kyfhausen," the mountainous retreat of Emperor Rar- barossa, and Paul Revere's ride are his­ torical. Camels and elephants bear la-ughing children; in a Plea Circus tiny insects perform incredible feats; a pony hippo­ drome, living pictures, Turkish dancers, circle and giant swings, motor and sub­ marine boats, deep sea divers, live whales, skating rinks, velvet and aerial coasters, mechanical minstrels, "Thou­ sand Islands" waterways, Japanese tea gardens, Chinese pavilltons, double whirls, and endless delight-imparting de­ vises form streets, pikes, plalsnnces, KWrts and waterways Kivarrttw, an emerald forest under an •palescent Bky, glistens with a silvery river and scintillant dianuthd lakes. At Sight this veritable fairyland has my»|- ads of lights that whirl an* flash and shimmer a rainbow ha*e on gay throngs. A more beautiful fairy spectacle was aaver conceived.
