HUW THE TiTOBLD TRAVELS EXHIBITS IN THE BIG- FAIR'S TEANSPORTATION PALACE. The Gorgeous Golden Door -American and Foreign Kxhibits of K very thing Relating to Travel on Land and Sea Ancient and ilodern Methods Contrasted. A tramp over the extensive acreage of the Transportation Building is calculated to give one respect for the dimensions ofthe World's Fair. Just to walk by and look at the ex hibits is a day's work. The Golden Door of the Transportation Cdiflco is celebrated jnst as a black sheep is because it is so different from its fellows. This palace is unlike all the others in color and general design. It is nearly a thousand feet lonp. and one-quarter as wide, and is surmounted by a cupola 165 feet hitrb. in which eight elevators aro constantly run ning. Its rrand portal, or '-Golden Door," faces the .oon and the shores of "Wooded Isl and." It consists of a series of receding arches entirely overlaid with gold leaf. But its general effect is gorgeous and not har monious. Along the stairways which lead from the entrance are typical statues a brakeman. a heJ-msman, Stephenson, Fulton, Watt, the apostles' of Progress, the Aristoc racy of Invention. Evidently the masses from the West think more o? this building and of Machinery Hall than of the Art Palace. This is natural, says n Chicago correspondent of the New York Journal. The raiiroad as the developer is almost superhuman in Western eyes. To it are due such marvels as the growth of Chi cago. Then why not have a temple to cele brate its greatness? And what a temple it is ! Long lines of massive yet superbly graceful cars, mighty locomotives, exquisite ly decorated, and watched over by men who j treat them as if they were steeds which can think and act ; gigantic s,now plows, fit to ' cleave the most stubborn drifts ofthe Sierras ; quaint groups of early locomotives little old-fashioned tea-pots, which look as if they : could be carried in the tenders of modern en- ' gines ; vast collections of photographs illus trating railroad machinery ; air brakes op- j crating on a hundred cars at once; limited ; trains equipped like palaces what is there ; not in this wonderful place? J "tlOLDKS LOOZ" OF TUE Look at the old "Comet" hero. It is the very oldest locomotive ever run in America, and' was brought from England in lMl by an English company. Near it stands Robert P. Burt, of Janesville, Wisconsin, who has the honor of being the oldest engineer in the land. I wonder how he feels when he gets in the shadow of such monsters as that locomotive fr-Mn the Baldwin Works, in Philadelphia, whi,h weighs 195,000 pounds? There is an other giant on its pedestal, an engine from, the Brooks Works, weighing ISO.000 pc iUvls When the Corean Embassy saw these leviathans, they stood as if stupefied. Finally they asked if they would really run on tracks, and the assurance that they would iillod them with amazement. THE LOCOMOTIVE SAMSON. Another very interesting exhibit is the old locomotive ";ini-oa," one of the first engines ever introduced into America This engine was built hi 183$. at New Hheldoa, Durham, England, and brought to this country about the same time. It was used in tho Albion coal mine, near Stellarton. Nova Scotia, until a few years ago. Accompanying the loco motive is the passenger ear. It 13 a clumsy affair, containing two scats, with room for atovtt four or live passengers. The doors open on the sides, the same as many English coaches of to-day. The engine and coach are in a pretty fair state of preservation. The tender in those days we.it ahead of the locomotive, while the engineer stood on the rear. The engine is a standard gauge, in verted direct-acting, with four-foot drivers. Two other ancient ioeomotiw-s are also among the exhibits the "Albion ' and "Old Ironsides.'1 Both of thesi am mor? primitive in their construction than lh ''.Samson." and are not quite large. The original "John Bull" is standing on the New York Central tracks, and the De Witt Clinton, with its historic train of soaches, is also here in its counterfeit. One of tho gigantic exhibits in the south end of this Transportation Building is the moJei of the great 1-Jo-tcn steam hamper of liie BthJeteiii (Peaa. lroa Wvrks. The ! oririuHl hammer Welti's 23o ton. The model is of stafT ami ivood. It is exhu-ited here because the Bethlehe.Ti hammer forces steamship shafts ani cranks, as well as? jruas and arraor plates It is shapl lifc'J a letter A. Its highest point stands niaety feet above the floor line, and is t tiny-eight feet THE TCBKISH SEDAV CHAIR. wide. The supports are eaeh composed of two parts, the lower ones weighing seventy one tons each, and the upper ones forty eight tons each. The Bethlehem hammer in one-quaiter larger than the 100-ton hammer used in an Italian dockyard. The beautiful exhibit of tn New York Central Railroad, which includes complete and luxurious trains and a model railroad station, is out of doors. It is aduiired by tens of thousands of visitors daily In the southern section of the Annex tner ar. fine displays by the Philadelphia fe Heading, the Old Colony, and the Chicago fc Northwestern Railroads. The latter exhib its the "Pioneer," a little puffing billy-goat of an engine, the first ever sent into Chicago. The Pennsylvania Railroad is richly rep resented. The marine exhibit of America is good ; I can but briefly allude to it. Perhaps the most striking thing is the section of an At lantic liner, showing the interior arrange ments ; it is so realistic that it fairly makes you seasick. Here is an exquisite model of the Puritan ; and here are steam and electric launches, dories, schooners and racing yachts until the wearied vision can no longer contain them. More than sixty thousand square feet are covered by the exhibition of land and sea travel in France. The French line mail steamers are well represented, the display consisting principally of six large paintings or dioramas, representing an arrival at New York Harbor of two of the company's steam ers , "Going on board at Havre," showing the Jock with one steamer ready to go, and taking passengers and baggage, and a special TEANSrOKTATION JJIILIJING. train arriving from Faris . the dining-room, of a steamer at night, lighted with electricity . the arrival of an African steamer at Mar seilles : a view of Algiers, with blue sky and sea. and steamer in harbor; tho coast at Penhoet'in St. Nazaire, with two steamers in process of construction. These pictures were painted byPhilpot. HoiTbaur. Moctenardand Motte The remaining portion of the ex hibit consists of models of coast s earners. Just to the right of the main entrance is the British section, extending through the main building into the annex. In front is a carriage aud saddlery exhibit. Then comes the splendid marine exhibit of Great Britain. Nearly all the great ship building tirms are representfil by models, one. that of the war ship Victoria, being thirty feet long, and cost Y 20. 000 It is said to be the iinest marine nio lei ever made. The Fairfield Shipbidld iug Company, builders of the new Cuuarders, show mo lds of merchant marine. The Thames Iron Works &, Shipbuilding Com pauy has models of every variety of war ves sels. There are exhibits of naval armament and o:ist defense, in this section is a model, twenty feet long, of the great bridge over the Frith of Forth, in Scotland. The railway section of the British exhibit includes a com plete fram and locomotive shown by the London & Northwestern Railway Company, the hrst exhibit of its kind in this country. What eiSH can I tell you of such a vast show? Here is everything relating to trans portation : here are bicycles in every stage of development sedan chairs from Turkey and "rickshas'' from Japan: Mrs French Sheldon's palaquin. in which she was car ried in Africa Mexican leathern hammocks. A UEXICA CAET. Spanish mule trains, dahabeaos of the Nile and flat boats of the muddy Mississippi. It is the museum of go : the epitome of push : the summing up of, our modern material progress. & Oft A 1 Jyife I! SHE WEDS A FHTIIRB KING MAKKIAGE OF PRINCESS MAI AND THE DUKE OF Y0EE. The Wedding Takes Place at the His toric Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace The Queen and Many Nobles AttendScene of Pomp and Splendor The Wedding Glft3. THE DTTKE OF YOKE. The marriage of the Duke of York (Prince George of Wales) and Prinees3 Victoria 3Iary of Tecktook place at 12 :30 o'clock a few days ago in the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, London. The wedding was a brilliant function and was attended by a large gathering of the members of the British royal family, Con tlnental sovereigns or their representatives and selected members oi tne highest no bility. The weather was beautiful, for a finer day has seldom been seen in London. The occasion was made a partial British holiday. Great crowds gathered many deep along the line of the route from Buckingham Palace, up Constitution mil, tcrougn .Ficca- dilly, St. James's street and Marlborough Gate to the garden entrance to St. James's Palace, which is situated on the north side of the Mall. The decorations along the line of the royal procession wore profuse. The road- way.was kept open by the Household troops in their glittering uniforms, by the regular guards, by the Metropolitan V olunteers and militia, by Middlesex Yeomanry and by the police. It is estimated that tnere were at least 1,000,000 spectators in the streets through which the procession moved. Many fainted in the crush and had to be taken to hospitals. The royal party left Buckingham Palace in four processions, the first conveying the members of the household and distinguished guests. The next procession included the Duke of York, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh. The bride came in the third procession, ac companied by her father, the Duke of Teck, and her brother, Prince Adolphus, of Teck. The last procession was that of the Queen, who, accompanied by her younger sons and the Grand Duke of Hesse, drove in State to the ceremonial. Each procession was ac companied by a Life Guards escort, and in addition to this the Queen had an escort of Indian, native and Australasian horse. Her Majesty rode in the state coach used when she opens Parliament and on other special occasions. The body of the carriage, which is of Irish manufacture having been built in Dublin, is painted a dark red color, and its richly gilt panels are adorned with the royal arms. The roof is surmounted by a crown and bordered with a wreath of gilt roses, thistle and shamrocks. THE DUCHESS OF YORK. The cheering as the royal carriage drove forward was immense. The members of the royal family and guests on alighting at St. James's Palace, walked to the State apart ments, and subsequently down the grand staircase and under the Court Colonnade to the seats reserved for them in tho chapel. The Queen alighted in the Ambassadors' Court. Thence she walked to the north end of the edifice. The spot was adorned with palms and flowers and carpeted with crim son. Upon the royal platform seats were provided for the Prince and Prineess of Wales, the bride and bridegroom, and other members of the royal family and royal guests from abroad. The members of the diplomatic body, in cluding the members of the United States Embassy and the other invited guests, occu pied seats in the body of the chapel and in the royal and east galleries. Drawing room dresses were worn by the women, and the men appeared in full levee dress. The marriage ceremony opened with the procession of the clergy into the chapel. This consisted of the Archbishop of Canter bury, the Bishop of London, the Dean of the Chapel Royal, the Sub-Dean, the Bishop of Rochester, the Hon. and Rev. E. Carr-G'yn Vicar of Kensington ; Canon Hervey, Domes tic Chapaia to the Trince of Wales, and Canon Dalton, Honorable Chaplain to the Duke of York. Handel's march from tho "Occasional Overture"' was played by the organist as the procession came forward. While the Arch bishop and clergy were taking their place the music of the march in "Scipio" cam! from the organ, and immediately the front o: the second procession, including the royj family and royal guests, came in sight. The bride wore the veil which was worn by her mother on the occasion of her own marriage. Her wedding gown was of silver brocade in perfect harmonj with the bri !e maii's toilets of white satin ani silver Luce. The bridemaid's gowns were made with low bo iic-s-and neither hats, wreaths nor veils were worn : only a simple rose in the hair. Thr Queen headed the procession. She walked alone, leaning on an ebony stick, ner Majesty was attired in a biaek -Iress with a train. The bodice was of broch- silk, with lace. She wore across ner bosom rh broA 1 blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter, and on her head was a small diamond crown, from which a veil depended. Around her neck was a necklace of diamonds with pendant at tached. As her Majesty passed up tho nave of the chapel the whole assemblage bowed. Following the Queen came the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Ldinburgh, and be hind them walked a number of Admirals in full uniform, escorting the brldwoom, who wore the uniform of a fleet captain . The Czarewiteh. the official representative of the Emperor of Russia, was in military - . A . I. 1 uniiorm and wore a picturesque wmie snnj. jacket edired with ermine. The King of Denmark escorted his daugh ter, the Princess of Wales. The Princess wore a dress of pure white silk and a tiara of diamonds. The Marquis of Lorne wore the dress of a Highland chief, the plaid of which was that of the Campbell clan. His wife. Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of the Queen, was attired in a heliotrope colored robe. bhe also had a tiara of diamonds. The bride leaned upon the arm of her father, and as the procession moved her train was carried by her bridesmaids, the Princesses Victoria and Maud, of Wales ; Princesses Victoria Alexandra and Beatrice.ot Edinburgh; Princesses Margaret and Vic toria Patricia, of Connaught, Trincess Vic toria, of Schleswig-Holstein, and Princess Eugenie. Among the notabilities present were Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. They were in their seats before the royal party appeared in the chapel. Mr. Gladstone wore the uniform of the Brethren of Trinity House which includ ed a large pair of naval epaulets. At the conclusion of the closing hymn and prayer the Queen was the first to salute the royal couple, after which the Prince and I'nncess of Wale9 and the Duke and Duchess of Teck kissed the bride and congratulated the groom. The Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by tne otner clergy, performed the ceremonv. tne bride being given away by her father. iuenaeissonn s "eaaing 3iarcn was played a3 the royal party left the chapel. the united processions of the bride and bridegroom leading to the throne room, where the registry of the marriage was at tested by her Majesty and the other members of the royal family and royal guests. I be dejeuner was served at Buckingham Palace, the Queen proposing the toast of the "Bride and Bridegroom, and the Lord Steward the toast of "The Queen."" After receiving congratulations, the Duke and Duchess of York left Buckingham Palace, driving through the Mall to he city, and tnence proceeded by tne Clreat Eastern Railway from Liverpool street to Sandrineham. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs met the newly wedded pair at St. Paul s Cathedral, and their progress through the decorated and crowded street was a triumphal one. Presents were received from all parts of the British dominions. The Prince of Wales's gift to the bride con sisted mostly of jewelry and precious stones. tne wnole being valued at $1,250,000. The Princess May of Teck is the eldest child and only daughter of the Duke of Teck and Princess Mary of Cambridge, who are both connected by marriage with nearly every sov ereign in Europe. She was born in Kensing ton Palace on May 20, 1867, and the greater part of her life has been spent at White Lodge, Richmond Park, the residence of her parents. 1 he Duke of lork is the only stirviviner son ot tne Jinnee of Wales, and by inheritance stands next but one to the throne of Eng land.
