The main entrance to the Exhibition is
through an immense ball called the YES
tibule OF Honor; but first let US glance 81
the facade OF The Yesubule. Nothing
could be more tasteful, artistic, aud sug
gesliyo. A row of female statues, OF
colossal siza, each representing . nation,
stands just without the portals, as if ready
to receive the visitor. The statues are
not without classic aroma, but ;hey are
modern beauties, and each one is intend

Clovis, or Pepin. is goodly looking
