has been recorded there by the camera
of The eye.
We are now at the Approach, shaded
by tall trees, and advance to the Fore
Court. We cross the Mirror Lakes upon
the Triumphal Bridge, one of the splen-
did exterior features of the exposition.
The Mirror Lakes are a part of the
Grand Canal, which completely encir-
cles the main group of buildings, mile
or more in length, upon which pleasure
craft of all sorts will carry the visitor
from point to point for a small fee.
Leaving the Triumphal Bridge, we come
to the Esplanade, where 250,000 people
may gather upon the occasion of special
celebrations or ceremonies.
The main exposition buildings are
grouped around a vast court in shape
like an inverted t. AS we stand in the
Esplanade facing the north the lesser
courts of the horizontal are at the
right and left. The Esplanade is LAS
feet long by $40 feet wide. The perpen-
dicular or greater court, including the
Court of the Fountains and the Plaza
is 1000 feet long by 500 feet wide. From
our viewpoint in the Esplanade we can
see some part of nearly all the great
Duiidings. 1t will be noted that there
mas been liberal use of color in all the
exterior work. The roofs are red tile,
and the walls of staff are tinted in va
rious sort shades that suggest the trop-

down from the Spain of old, changing
somewhat through the lapse of centu-
ries. The visitor from California, Mex
leo, Central and South America will feel
the compliment expressed in the archi-
tectural features of the exposition.
Uses of the Principal Buildings.
Now few words about the dimen-
sions and purposes of the larger build
ings. To the right, at the extreme east
end of the Transverse Court, is the gov
ernment group, consisting of three large
buildings. The largest of these is 600
feet long by 100 feet wide, with a CEN
trail dome 250 feet above the main floor.
The greater portion of the government
exhibits will be sheltered in this build
ing. The other two buildings are each
$50 feet square and stand west of the
main building, connected by circular ar
cades. The group forms semicircular
court $50 feet across, in which are foun-
tains and flowers and other decorative
features. The lesser buildings are to
be used for the aquariums and fish dis
play the exhibits from the new island
possessions of the United States and for
a display of the United States Meteor
illogical bureau.
The western end of the Esplanade is
defined by a group of buildings little
less in their magnificence and arranged
in the same manner as the government
buildings. These are the Horticultural

for the State and Foreign buildings, an
exposition in themselves. They are
ranged around broad court. beautiful
with aquatic basins, fountains, foliage
and blossoms.
West of the state and foreign build
ings, beyond the Fore Court, are the
Music Gardens, where large assemblages
may enjoy concerts at almost any hour
of the day or evening. Beyond the Mu-
sic Gardens, near the North Bay is the
building erected by the state of New
York in cooperation with the exposi-
tion directorate. 1t is permanent
building and is to be the home Of the
Buffalo Historical Soeiety's large, valu-
able and interesting collection of relics.
Scope of the Exposition.
This exposition is intended to convey
comprehensive idea of the intellectual,
social and material progress of the
nineteenth century in the western hem
isphere embracing the Independent
governments and dependencies of the
three Americas and the adjacent is
lands. AS an electrical exposition it is
expected to surpass anything ever at
tempted The Niagara Falls Electric
Power plant, the largest on the globe,
is only 80 minutes ride by rail from the
exposition. and it is from this source of
supply that the unlimited power for the
uses Of the exposition and for the ex-
tensive and extraordinary electric dis
plays is to be drawn.
The exhibits to be displayed in the
The Delawarean., 1900-05-12

les Numerous shady arcades and airy
pavllions promise comfort upon the
warmer days. There is a uniformity of
cave line among the great buildings,
and patient attention to detail is every
where manifest in these extensive ar
chitectural works. Pillars and pilasters
are made rich with bas-reliefs and ara
besques. Arches are tinted and fres-
coed. Towers. lanterns. domes and min
arets, flag standards, finals and fes-
toons, with countless flags, streamers
and banners waving gayly, combine to
heighten the festival aspect
The style of architecture here observ-
ed is described as a modification of the
Spanish renaissance, it having been de-
cided that this would somewhat pro-
claim the All-American or Pan-Ameri-
can character of the exposition.
Throughout Latin-America the approv-
ed architecture is that which has come
The Delawarean., 1900-05-12

In planning the great exposition it has
been the aim of the architects to avoid
disturbing any of the features of this
charming pleasure ground. The walk
leads the visitor among stately trees
and along stretches of rare shrubbery
that give off delicious odors from mill
lions of flowers. The first notable build
Ing is the Albright Art Gallery, well
within the park on an elevated site. 1t
is the permanent home of the public art
treasures of Buffalo, and the building is
the gift of an enterprising and public
spirited citizen, Mr.. j. ]. Albright, who
has taken this as an opportune time to
bestow a lasting benefit upon the city.
1t also meets appropriately the pur-
poses of an art building for the exposi-
tion.
We come presently to a bridge of
elaborate design which spans narrow
place in the Park Lake. On either side
are broad reaches Of water dotted with
pleasure boats. The plumage of swans
and other waterfowl of dazzling white
ness gladdens and enlivens the scene.
They are good sailors. those birds with
sinuous necks, and the envy of young
boys to whom swimming and diving are
as yet arts unachieved.

lantern 2S6 feet high, hanlled on the
north by the Graphic Arts building and
on the south by that devoted to Forest
ry and Mines. The circular arcades
which connect the buildings are very
ornate and form the entrances to the
conservatories back of them. The large
semicircular court contains the Foun-
tain of the Seasons. Throughout the
Esplanade are sunken gardens, floral
displays and colonnades, which COM
plete the beauty of the broad, open
space.
Leaving the Esplanade, we enter the
Court of the Fountains. At the right
and left are two huge, towerlike build
ings $50 feet square, one devoted to Eth
nology and the other to Music. Next
beyond the Ethnology building on the
right, is the building $50 by 500 feet,
to be devoted to Manufactures. A

ic basin and floral features, separates
the two. On the west side of the Court

size as the Manufactures building.

velous electric effects is added to the
other embellishments. All the sur
rounding buildings are outlined with a
rich tracery of incandescent electric
lights. The light is so diffused that there
are no shadows, more than 1000 lamps
being used to produce this pleasing ef-

tains, making every glistening drop a
gem of purest ray.
The massive Electric Tower, $50 feet
high, marks the northern boundary of
the Court of the Fountains. 1t is 76

A Wonderful Architectural Creation.
There are some 20 or more large
buildings, including the massive archi-
tectural features of a decorative char
acter. The lesser buildings are num-
bered by the hundred. The love of
symmetry has guided the hands of the
designers of these glorious works, and
the arrangement is upon harmonious
lines. Color shades into color, shadow
blends into brightness and there are
brilliant contrasts in a thousand ways
that forbid hint of severity and same
ness and make a picture that one will
carry always in his mind when once it

Within the face of the niche is an elab-
crate arrangement of electric lights, by
means of which countless fantastic de-
signs are made to appear in the surface
of the sparkling waterfall. Other lights

ducing brilliant and pleasing effects,
quite unlike anything heretofore at
tempted. The tower stands in a large
aquatic pool surrounded by balustrades
and flowers, with numerous fountains
and cascades playing into the basin.
The tower is reached from the Plaza on
the north side by bridge of attractive
design. Elevators carry the visitors to
the promenade floors at various heights.
From these floors broad and beautiful
views of the exposition and surround
ings are obtained. AT the height of 200
feet in the tower is a large restaurant.
At a height of 300 feet is a lookout that
gives one a birdseye view of a vast
stretch of country, including the Mag
ara Frontier. Niagara river, Canada
and Lake Erie.
Directly east of the tower, on the
north side of the Mall, is the Agricul-
tural building and beyond that the Live

THE Big PAM AMERICAN EXPOSITION OF 1901.

VUST where to begin a story of the
u great American Exposition at
Buffalo is a problem Offering many
ways of approach, all of them at
tractive, all of them so inviting as to
leave one still in doubt which to choose.
II we begin at the upper left hand
corner-the northwest-as an artist
might do in making picture, we shall
straightway find ourselves in the laby-
rinths of the Midway, surrounded by
the gayest of scenes, in a maze of nov
elites, threading serpentine walks,
meeting the grotesque and the incon-
gruous and laughing with the merriest
of merry crowds. If we begin at the
northeast corner. we shall sit in the top
row of seats in the Stadium, looking at
crowd of $4,000 people in that great
amphitheater, larger in its dimensions
than the Coliseum built by Vespasian
and Titus to please the sportive Romans
at the beginning of this era.
Rather let us come up from the city
by trolley, as most of the visitors will
do, and approach the exposition from
the south. 1t is a close four miles from
the business center of Buffalo to the
southern gates of the exposition, but
no city ever had a better street railway
system than this, and it is short ride.
1t is May, 1901. We alight at Forest
avenue and enter at the grand southern
gateway of the exposition. 1t is on Lin
coin Parkway, a broad, beautiful boule-
ward shaded deeply with rows of tall
naples. The entrance is one of the not
able architectural works of the expo
sition of rich and elaborate design. A
90 cent ticket gives us the freedom of
the exposition for day
The Pan-American Exposition grounds
are about one mile from north to south
and half mile from east to west.
They embrace an area Of $50 acres of
which 133 acres are improved park
lands, a part Of Delaware Park. We
are told by experts whose word is law
among landscape architects that the
park scenes which we are now drinking
in with our fresh vision and alert SEN
sibilities are among the most beautiful
in the world. 1t is easy to indorse such
an agreeable expression Of opinion. for
he must be obtuse indeed who will not
readily imagine himself set down in one
of natures own fairylands.

acres. West of the tower is the Elec-
tricity building, $50 by 500 feet.
Features About the Plaza.
We are now at the Plaza, bounded on
the east by the large and beautiful
building which forms the main entrance
to the Stadium few words more
about this arena for athletics, the lar
gest and grandest ever erected in the
United States or in the western hemi-
sphere. 1t covers ten acres and con-
tains, as we have noted, seats for 25,-
600 people. There is a quarter mile
track. with abundant room for all sorts
of high class athletic feats and con-
tests. 1t is also the show place for
electric vehicles, machinery, horses and
other live stock. The entrances are
large and admit the floats and other
features of the pageants employed in
special celebrations. Beneath the seats
is space for vast number of exhibits.
Opposite the Stadium, on the west
side of the Plaza, is a large building
used for restaurant purposes and form
ing the chief entrance to the Midway.
The Midway covers 20 acres and con-
tains an assortment of entertainment
novelties unparalleled.
On the north side of the Plaza are the
Propylaa, consisting of great Monu-
mental Entrances, connected by a curv-
ed colonnade of huge proportions. They
form an imposing architectural screen,
shutting out the steam railway tracks
and trains that reach the exposition
grounds at this point. Here we may
take the intramural railway train and
ride around the grounds, which are
made beautiful with trees, shrubs,
flowers. fountains, lagoons, lawns and
paths at every point.

buildings about IA acres are set apart

DEMAND FOR LABOR.

The best proof of the fact that the
south is progressing and getting a
fair share of prosperity is the an
nouncement of a shortage of labor.
This is especially noticeable in
Florida. Cross-tie cutters, phosphate
miners, dock laborers and timber
cutters are in demand in many por-
lions of the state. Up to a few months
ago there seemed to be no demand
for laborers or mechanics. The sup
ply greatly exceeded the demand
