The contributors included the nation's best song writers. Spectacular Features. The intensity of the effort of the pro- motors of this pageant is also exem- plified in their obtaining the services of the black horse squadron of the Cul- ver Academy, which will lead 50,000 Chinamen dressed in their oriental cos- tumes w^ith all the splendor known to their race. This parade will come from Chicago's Chinatown to the pier on a day to be announced later by the mayor. While mentioning things spectacular it is well to take notice of the entire revision of street car service to the pier. Although the main lines do not pass the pier nor do they come within three- quarters of a mile of it, facilities have been arranged so that the street cars can handle 38,000 passengers per hour to and from the pier. Chicago has the best and cheapest taxi service in Amer- ica. One company alone operates 1,160 cabs and there are other largo compa- nies. Speed boat races, including the de- butante, "Miss Chicago," promise keen competition. Seven of Chicago's big. men, including William Wrigley, Jr., and the mayor, are donors of this boat. Facilities are offered to give out-of- town visitors ready access to Chicago, through the aid of an information bu- reau. After visiting the end of the pier, which has a merry-go-round, a gigantic dance hall, pleasure boat docks and many things that make for a good time, including plenty of the wind that made Chicago famous, we may go to the north exhibition hall.
