After quarters at 9:30 we went ashore. Visited in succession, with Geok, the Penn, Illinois, and Indiana buildings. The Illinois building I found to be the best of the state buildings. At 1:30 we gave a short parade and at 4 we were again ashore, visiting various foreign exhibits. At about 5:30 we went to town to look around, and saw nothing astonishing. My impression of Frisco and the Fair is not at all favorable. At about 10:30 I turned in. Woolen pajamas, a sweater and a blanket very nearly kept me warm during the evening - and night.
