Last week General and Mrs. Anson McCook were reveling
in the World's Fair, first steaming about the
lagoons in a launch as guests of President Palmer, and
then viewing the illuminations from the Administration
Building. General McCook says it is worth a journey
round the world merely to look at the buildings in Jackson
Park, and he is right. I found him and his family
at Buffalo Bill's Wild West after a day's tramp through
the Fair, delighted with what he called "a great show."
It ought to be inside the Fair grounds, and would have
been had Colonel Cody's proposition been accepted by
the Fair authorities. Better for him as it is, however, as
he makes all the money and is his own master. General
and Mrs. McCook will pass the summer at Rutland, Vermont.
They could not have selected a lovelier spot.
Fortunately for the Capital, these popular McCooks will
return to their Washington house next winter. | 266[?] Fields
