THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING G.
In addition to the structures detailed
above, there will be an administration
building, oriental in outline, represent
ing combination of central Indian and
Siameae architecture. This building,
designed by A. Pags Brown, consists Of
large centr~ square, covered by h
dome, with four pavilions at the angles.
The principal feature Of the building Is
the richly ornamented dome, 125 feet IN
height by 30 feet in diameter, beauti
fully decorated on the inside, and which
is intended to be brilliantly Illuminated
at night.
This building is TO contain the Office.

quarters, the post Office, bank and il

But these FIVE main buildings are by

OF the midway plaisauce. The Turkieh
theater will have q place there and,
running sll around it, will be the Cairo
street, where wedding processions on
camel back. with veiled women and all
the other sccessories, will be seen three
times a day. Here alao will be a cafe
chantant where national dancer of all
nations will be presented, and we're low

Arrangements have also been com

is to be another prominent feature II

mon, the visitor will find himself in

ing as an artistic gem. The design is
conspicuously Egyptian. There is an
unmistakable flavor of the pyramids and

no means all the architectural features
which will make the midwinter exposi-
ton memorable in the history of Cali
fornia and in the history of the world.
There have been enough applications
for extra concessions in connection with
the exposition TO fill Golden Gate park
in it's entirety. From these there have
been selected large number OF the
most desirable, and In che carrying out
OF the plans therefore there have been
good many picturesque and thoroughly
beautiful buildings added. all of which
are in perfect harmony with the rest of
the exposition and in keeping with the
desire of the management to afford the
world the greatest amount OF amuse-
ment and instruction that can possibly
be consolidated within the scope of such
an exposition.
One OF the first special CONCESSIONS
made was to the Chinese Six Compa-
niee of San Francieco, who are already
building structure of their own,
purely oriental affair, 100 feet long by 80
in width, with center courtyard 80x40
feet set out with rare Chinese plants.
In one end of the building ia Chinese
theater. On either side of the court
yard are open booths for the menufac-
ture of rare and costly Chinese produc-
tione. The crowning exterior feature of
this building will be Chinese pagoda,
rs feet high, fashioned after the cele-
brated tower of Nankin. The roof will
be of tiles, with fantastically twisted
carved figures of the tabled dragon
projecting from the angles, and with
futtering dragon flags OF blue. red and
yellow combining to produce pleasing
effect.

Immediately in the rear of this build
ing, and separated from it by six feet OF
space, is placed the boiler house, 35x 234
feet, containing so boilers OF 100 horse
power each, which will furnish power to
operate the electric lights and the ma
chinery of the exposition.
HORTICULTURE AND AGRICULTURE.
One of the most striking architectural
features of the exposition 10 to be the
horticultural and agricultural building,
designed by Samuel Newsom, and which
Is now under construction with the 9TH
ers OF the group. In this instance the
rchitect took for the foundation OF his
work the old Spanish mission style
which is SO characteristic of California's
early history. With this he has COM
bined more than tinge of the Roman
eeque. The great dome Of this building,
behind and above the arched entrance,
and carrying secondary dome ON its
crown, ia certain to be landmark in
the exposition grounds. 1t is 101 feet 6
inches in diameter and 80 feet from the
ground to the lantern. Round the dome
on the outside there will be roof gar
den, the background Of which will be
beautitied with series of plaster fig
ures in low relief, not cherubs of Ra-
phael or Angelo, but nineteenth century
cherubs of the Kate Greenaway order,
an innovation that is cure to be popular.
The extreme length of this building is
266 feet 8 inches, and the greatest width
100 feet.

Nothing could we'll illustrate the spirit
of enterprise in Southern California
better than the manner in which it has
taken hold of the plan for a magnificent
display at the fair.
The time was wofully short in which
to prepare for so important an enter
prise, but with characteristic energy
committees were formed, five OF the
southern counties whesled into line, and
presto. the thing wac done.
There was come pulling back at first,
and il must be said that it was by Los
Angeles county, but some vigorous spir-
it's who have helped to make this section
pushed forward, and all are now glad
that they did, and that we are ell pull
ing together harmoniously.
An association called the Southern
California Mdwinter Fair association
was formed, and permanent organize
ton was effected by the election OF the
following oticers: President, J. s..

secretary, @. ID Willard; euperintsnd-
