around the pier and through the galery of
Manufactories building. met Mr & Mrs Lawton of
Delavan. It was the nearly dark. Went into
the Electrical building which is fine at night.
Ate some lunch and rested awhile. We came
home on the elevated road, got a cup of coffee
before coming to our room, not very tired tonight.
It has been a very windy chill day.
Saturday October 7th 1893
It was a pleasant morning. We got an early
start, stopped at 57th St entrance. Spent the
forenoon in state and foreign buildings we had
not seen and through a part of Art galery.
We ate lunch in Oklahoma building. We then did
the rest of the state buildings and went down to
Midway. Took in the streets of Cairo and
watched people ride the camels. As soon as we
came out of there we rode in the Ferris Wheel
which we enjoyed very much. The crowd was so
great it took us a long time to get back
to the grounds. We went through Transportation
and sat down to rest, we went into the
Horticulture rotunda and into crystal cave.
From there through Government buildings. It was
then nearly dark. We rested awhile by the side
