The Book of the Fair.
Taken as a whole, "The Book of the
Fair," by Hubert Howe Bancroft, is pro
bably the best presentation of the Colum
bian Exposition, historical and descrip
tive, which has been attempted. The
plan is comprehensive, and yet not too
extented, the aim being to give the
Exposition entire in pictures and print,
in one thousand imperial folio pages,
that is to say, twenty-five parts of forty
pages each. By taking the leading
exhibits of a class as representative of
the whole, giving the rest minor mention,
to a greater or less extent, the entire
round can be made, and yet the total re
sult be a work not too cumbersome or
expensive forthe general public to handle
and purchase. Address the Bancroft
Company, Publishers, Auditorium Build
ing, Chicago, 111.
The season of dry streets, clean side
walks and bright sunny days when baby
can be taken out for an airing and ex
ercise, is at hand. You want a pretty
and stylish carriage for the little darling,
and this you will find at
S. & C. WATKINS".
