Text Appearing Before Image:
right hand, and continues, with a couple of angles, south to the water front. Both sides are solidly lined with amusement enterprises,many of them of great merit, and some covering acres of ground. There are several entirely new features presented, and there are over thirty distinctand separate amusement organizations on the Streak, besides a number of selling concessions, which add life and variety. An army of attendantscare for these exhibitions, and people from far and from near contribute to the entertainment. Everyone on the grounds takes a stroll down the PayStreak, to see the life and motion and to listen to the ingenious gentlemen who clamor for patronage at the entrances to concessions. The Amusementsection has been aptly described as the place Where everything that is amusing, grotesque, hilarious, foolish, novel and absurd is foisted and intoned,where all that ingenuity can devise, skill project, or daring accomplish is brought for the diversion of a summers dav. — Barry.
Text Appearing After Image:
STREETS OF CAIRO AND ORIENTAL VILLAGE This extensive and elaborate village is different from anything else at the Exposition. The streets swarm with gaily dressed native people;with musicians industriously bent upon attracting the visitor, camels and camel drivers, donkeys and donkey drivers, dancers both male and female,sooth-sayers and fortune tellers, all are thereto give life and color to the scene. Bazars, filled with oriental wares, theatres where the women dance thecouche-couche, mosques and other features of life in the cities of the Orient draw the people. There is always fun and frolic going, and gay partiesand on-lookers find amusement without stint, in the .Streets of Cairo.
