iHgs until the collections are in. The
guaranty fund viii be made up and the
various contractors guaranteed their
money ..ding the collections. With the
amount of money now in sight pledged to
tie fair it looks as if the guaranty fund
would not be called upon for = dollar
However, if it should be, it will be so
raised that the proportion among the SUBJ
sCribers will be a minimum sun.
Herr .Cornely and Leopo old Bouet. who
will have the work of organizing the ex-
position, arranging the grounds and build
ings, subject, of course, to the executive
committee. are more than pleased with
the outlook. They consider the exposition
a certainty, and have telegraphed Euro
peans exhibitors to that effect. Herr
Cornely is well known among all the for
eign exhibitors at Chicago, and they
readily take his word, many Of them hav-
Ing been participants in expositions in
Cornely. In addition to the foreign ex-
hibts already pledged there will I'M
G0ubtedly be more offered besides than
there will be room for. In this way Cali
foruia will get the cream Of the Worlds
Fair.
The selection of grounds in the park for
the exposition has been most happy one.
Strawberry Hill, with its lake and the
level plateau at its base, Is the location.
Cornely is great believer in fountains,
colored lights, music, shows, boating, ETC.,
for the amusement Of the public, exclusive
Of the grand exhibits in the exposition
buildings, which will be four in number
OF these latter the most elaborate and
beautiful will be the Manufacturers and
liberal arts building, for the reason that
II will be permanent building, and after
the exposition is over Will be presented to
Golden Gate Park for museum building.
The other buildings will be the hall OF
agriculture and horticulture. the art pal
ace and machinery hall. The illustrations
presented herewith only show the eleva.
ton of the buildings as suggested by
hessrs. Cornely and Bouet The plans
have not been seen by the executive COM
nittee and none of the buildings have been
adopted as they are shown in the cuts,
although it is probable they will be, fpr
tie reason that Bouet. the architect who
presents the plans. proved to be the most
successful of tho many architects of the
Worlds Fair buildings, and besides has
Tor years made exposition buildings his
Speciality. He is also the inventor Of staff,
the new material used for decoration OF
buildings, and has. with C0rnely, given
much time and study to the plans which
ne intends to present to the executive COM
mittee.
As yet neither Herr Cornely nor Archi.
tect Bouet has been EMPLOYED to aid in
making the California Midwinter Inter
national Exposition a success. and until
they are employed they decline to make
their plans public for the benefit of others
VINO might be selected In their stead
Yesterday Herr Cornely was hesieoed
by people from Oakland, Alameda ami
elsewhere to visit them and address neef-
ings OF business men on the Midwnter
Exposition. He was compelled to decline
for the reason that he had no official con.
Dection with the exposition and conse-
auently no right to speak. 10 an interyie 70
yesterday afternoon Herr Cornely said:
Both Mr.. Bouet and myself hope to put
to nse the ideas which We have had for ten
years, the direct results of long experience
In exposition work. Never until we reached
California have we found exactly ali the
conditions necessary to the success of our
made vertable garden of Eden at one
tenth the cost that other and more
populous countries could do the
same work. La fact the majority
of countries On the globe sufficiently
advanced to have expositions could
not have midwinter exposition unless
1t were OF ice palaces Here flowers Will
grow in the open air; the grass is ever
green; there are multitudes of trees with
abundant foliage. The climate. the loca-
ton OF the grounds, and lastly, the loca-
ton of the exposition, the first ever held
on the shores Of the Pacific, will make it a
grand show. such as the world has never
seen before. What we want now is activ-
ity. Let the WORK commence at once. and
let California in the matter of expositions,
as in all other things which she under
takes, take the first rank in progress,
novelty, beauty and success"
Herr COrnely is satisfied that the people
Tant the exposition. His only fear is delay
