Many Important Arts and Sciences.
Thousands Of men, representing ev-
cry degree of skill, are fast bringing

yorable surroundings and conditions.
With the best known natural wonder
Of the world-the stupendous and ma
iestic falls of Niagara-within half an
/ hours ride of the Exposition grounds

! in the world using the power ofthese
/ famous cataracts, truly magnets of ir-
resistible force. to help draw the
crowds from all directions, Buffalo
/ looks to an unparalleled success In
next years enterprise.
In six important particulars the Pan
American Exposition will outrival all
! former undertakings OF this descrip'
ton. These are in the electrical eff
fects. in the hydraulic and fountain
effects, in horticultural and floral dec
orations. in the variety and splendor OF
its statuary, in color decorations and
in the court settings. The highest
skill has been employed in developing |
these features, and no pains will be |
spared TO bring them to a degree OF
perfection never before achieved.
A large number of the most noted
sculptOrs Of America are engaged upon
the models for the magnificent decora-
tive display Of original sculpture.
