The supreme amusement thrill of the Fair is the “Sky-Ride.” The lofty towers of this $1,000,000 attraction are 625 ft. high. They are 2,000 ft. apart, one on the mainland south of Soldier Field, and the other on Northerly Island, and are topped with ob- servation platforms. Elevators whisk pas- sengers sixty stories aloft. From this height it is possible to see three states. At the 200- ft. level the towers are connected by stout steel cables from which 10 rocket-propelled cars, 33 ft. long, are suspended, traveling þack and forth across the World's Fair Lagoons.
