The Plaza is 500 feet by $50 feet.
Standing at the tower building, at the
right, is the stadium building, 341 feet
long by 81 feet wide, with towers l64
feet high. This ornate building forms
the entrance to the athletic field or
stadium, where $4,000 people may be

way Of the Buffalo show will be in the
form of an anchor, one rather winding
street lined with the principal shows
and cross street at the end for the

the Midway have poured in from all
conceivable sources and for all man.
ner of entertainments and novelties,
and the director of concessions will be
enabled to choose a splendid lot of
SHOWS" for the street.
The general style of the buildings is
that Of the Spanish renaissance, modi-
fed to suit the character of an exposi-
ton. There is generous use of color,
the red roofs and tinted walls giving
the completed work a festival aspect.
Domes, lanterns, pinnacles and statues,
waving flags and streamers make gay
the sky line. The facades of the build
ings are everywhere broken with elab-
crate architectural features and ar
caded effects are much used through
out the vast group. There are more
than twenty large buildings and mas
sive architectural works, besides the
numerous state and foreign buildings.
