*'(9/<3f Vienna^'' of the Midway Plaisance that enlarged American edition of the Nishni-Novgorod Fair has existed in the 17th and i8th century much as it presents itself here. It shows a large \^^^ market place and a quadrangle of houses, picturesque with gables, M^'^\ many shaped roofs and towers. There is no attempt at ostentatious show, but the whole tells of the patriarchal, domestic spirit, the well grooved mode of life of its denizens, narrow in their ways and views, as are the diminutive windows out of which they espy their neighbors'

You enter by the City Gate, Old Vienna was well protected, enThe belated citizen could gain entrance only circled by walls and bastions. after being subjected to a tedious examination by the corporal of the watch. The City Hall first attracts our attention. Back of its colonnade is housed a collection of antique portraits painted in Egypt by Greeks more than 2,000 The House of the Golden Cup " stood on tlie ^'High Market ^'''^ years ago. It was the property of the jeweler Johannes Markx, the as it is seen here. The arched way to fame of whose wares had penetrated far beyond Vienna the left '-'-Zum hochsten Heurigen " (This year's best) leads to the beer garden To the right of and restaurant of Mr. Seidl, a typical Viennese boniface.

and

size,

In the^avilion opposite a superlative Hungarian orchestra, who play during forenoon and noon hours, seem to captivate the American taste in particular. Little less do the pair of youthful cymbal artists, seated under a tent in the eastern court. Their- hands dance, hop and flirt with the most gracious ease over tlfis weird instrument, and it you feel tempted to possess one of their photographs, these same childish hands will inscribe on it the name and vocation of their charming owners. But see or hear Old Vienna, when Ziehrer and his regimental band of sixty artists strike off their soft, melodious tunes. The evening or many evenings you have spent there will prove the most cherished souvenirs you carry away from the great exhibition. Hear the thunderous applause, see the young ladies clap their hands man-fashion, and you know Ziehrer's music has touched a thousand hearts with a thousand reminders of dear old home.
