Wall, as I said, Josiah expressed a willingness to go, and consequently
and subsequently we went.

Wall, we found it wuz a group of buildin's on a beautiful island--in the
northern part of the lagoon, joinin' the improved part of Jackson Park.

There wuz three on em' in number. The middle one wuz a long buildin'
with a high dome, and some towers in the centre on't, and the arches and
the pillows wuz all ornamented off with figgers of fishes, and crabs,
and lobsters, and all sorts of water growth. It looked uneek, and
first-rate, too.

And when I say it wuz a long buildin', I don't want it understood that
I mean length as we call it in Jonesville, but Chicago length--or rather
Chicago Jackson Park length, which is fur longer than jest plain Chicago
largeness.

In the centre of the big buildin' is a fish-pond all ornamented with
rock work, and all sorts of aquatic plants.

And then all joined on to the main buildin', at each end and connected
with it by carved arches, handsome as arches wuz ever made in the world,
and trimmed off in the uneek way I've mentioned prior to and beforehand,
wuz two other buildin's, each one on 'em 135 feet long.

The buildin' to the east is the aquarum, or live fish exhibit, and that
to the west is to show off the anglin' exhibit. They wuz round and
kinder double-breasted lookin' on both sides.

The shape on 'em is called pollygon--probable named after the man's wife
