Many thousands, no doubt, have be-

ings and grounds of the Columbian eX-
position will appear-what sort of a
spectacle they will present. A birds
eye view of the site and buildings, and
@ series of cuts or drawings showing the
elevations of the several structures and
their GROUND plans will soon be issued.
Without Waiting for all of these, how
ever, says the worlds fair directory a

1t will be connected by subways.
Within the loop also will be the main
power house, from which power will
be furnished to such buildings on the
grounds as require it.
THE FARMERS OWN.
To the southwark of the line Of
buildings which are ranged along the
south side Of the grand avenue, is Il vast
open expanse which will be devoted to
the live stock exhibit, Here immense
stock buildings, a show ring, and what
ever else will contribute to the success
of the live stock feature of the exposi-
ton will be constructed.
jackson park resembles a right
angled triangle in shape. The visitor
has thus far, on his tour of inspection,
traversed the lake shore or hypoth-
enuse of the triangle, and across the
southern end or the base. 1t. remains
only TO turn towards the north and note
the structures ranged along the perpen-
dicular. The first one arrived at is the
transportation building. This will be
Romanesque In style and one Of the
largest of all, measuring I,O2Ox26O feet,
exclusive of a great annex in the rear.
The transportation building, together
with the depots, will cost Sl,OOO,0 600.
North of this will be the horticultural
building, another immense structure,
l,0O0xl50 feet, with three domes, one at
each end and n larger one at the cen
ter. This will be constructed chiefly Of
glass and iron. and will cost $500, 600.
PRIDE OF II LADIES.
Still farther north and directly oppo-
site the park entrance Of Midway Plais-
sanoe, will stand the womeu's building
which, II Is expected, will be one Of the
chief, objects Of interest on. the grounds.
1t Is to be 4oox20o feet In dimensions,
two stories high and will cost 5000, 900,
The exterior design will be, furnished
by a woman architect. Here the lady

his first glimpse Of Jackson and
Washington parks and the mag
nificent array presented by the
exposition buildings. Beautiful as
was the site-the Champs de
Mars-and its approaches, and capti-
waiting to the admiration as were the
graceful and imposing edifces at the
Paris expositions of 1873 and 1889, it
is believed that they will be surpassed
by those of the Columbian exposition.
The Chicago site is four times as large
and has u frontage of two miles on
lake Michigan, the second largest body
Of fresh water on the globe. The
buildings will cover twice the area and
cost twice as much as did those in
Paris in 1889. Alone they will cost
nearly fifty per cent, more than the
total expense attending the Paris fair.
The best architects in this country have
prepared the plans for the several
buildings, and the structures they have
designed will exhibit the highest
achievements of American architecture.
MAGNIFICENT SITE.
More than 81, 900, 600, exclusive of
the cost of the land, has been spent on
jackson and Washington parks, in
laying them out and identifying them.
Another million will be spent in i'm
proving the former, which will be the
chief location of the exposition. Add.
tionDl lawns, terraces, ilowcr-beds.
rustic seats, walks, drives and foun
tains will be constructed; s~tatuarv will
be placed at conspicuous points; the
lagoon will he enlarged by sinuous
branches; and the lake beach will be
made a charming resort for visitors.
BY THE WATER ROUTE.
The mostdellrhtful, probably, though
not the speediest means by which the
visitor may reach the exposition
grounds, will be by steamboat on Lake
Michigan. A ride Of six miles from the
cmbarking point at the Lake Front
park, with the towers and gilded domes
Of the fair buildings constantly in sight,
Will take him there. When abreast OF
the sight, a grand spectacle of surpass-
ing magniticence will by before him
the vast extent of the beautiful park;
the windings of the lagoon; the superb
array Of scores of great buildings, ele-
giant and imposing in their architec-
ture and gay with myriads Of flags and
streamers floating from their pinnacles
and towers; and towering above them
all the lofty Proctor tower. In the
northern portion Of the grounds he will
see a picturesque group of buildings,
perhaps forty or fifty of them, consti-
tuting a veritable village of palaces.
Here, on a hundred acres or more, beau
tifully laid out, will stand the buildings
of foreign nations and of a number
