About This Book

The work presents a practical, reader-friendly guide to the city’s amusements, accommodations, and landmarks, surveying hotels, theaters, concert gardens, panoramas, churches, parks, race tracks, restaurants, bathing and grooming establishments, and local transport. It cautions visitors about common scams, gambling dens, and disreputable characters, and offers tips on shopping, masquerades, free-and-easy shows, and other diversions. The second part focuses on the great international exposition, describing its principal buildings and exhibits and offering suggested routes and activities for fairgoers.
