An unprecedented interest In ohio's
Fair and Industrial Expedition has
been aroused throughout every section
of the State, even the remotest coun-
ties from Columbus are making pre-
parations for increased representation
and large attendance. The coming ex-
hibitlon. September 3, 4. 8, and z.
will be the great industrial event Of
the year that will combine in its many
buildings and departments, classified
displays illustrating the height OF ag-
ricultural production, the acme In live
stock and breeding and training, the
pinnacle OF invention, machinery and
manufactures, the zenith of art and
science and the cream of household
advancement and ornamentation. A
galaxy Of beauty and utility rounded
out in one grand panorama of perfec-
tion and feast OF enjoyment.
AL this has been made possible by
the facilities afforded in the magnifl-
cent exposition buildings with which
the beautiful park grounds are pre-
vided; these buildings rising in mas
sive proportions amidst nature and
the embellishments Of landscape art
SO conspicuous on every hand. The
buildings are located with a view to
convenience and beauty of appearance
and in these respects the greatest sue
cess has been attained, while their ex-
hibition capacity and arrangement for
display are such as to present every
class Of exhibits in the best possible
form for intelligent examination and
comparative study.
In the general exhibition of 1900, an
industrial exposition above anything
anticipated will be realized and en-
joyed by the people who attend.
There will be no weak places, or
events without special interest, and
the aim of the management will be to
make every department a feature to
attract wide interest on the opening of
the gates and continue and increase
throughout every day and night of the
exposition. The arrangement Of special
programs will be such as to make
every day equal in exhibits, entertain
ment and extraordinary attractions.
80 there need be no particular choice
Of days in attending.
All Ready For Opening Day.
All the various buildings, exhibits
and displays will be ready for inspec-
ton on the opening day, and as the
visitor enters the grounds he will be
amazed at the expanse Of the elegant
park and with the number and mas
siveness OF the exposition buildings,
flying hundreds OF gay colors and filled
to completion with t9 best products
Of field, stable. orchard, garden and
shops and of the studio and the house
hold.
Passing in through the main en-
trance, the visitor must pause a mo-
ment to map out a course for sight
seeing. Diverging from the point Of
entrance to the right and to the left,
are clean grsveled walks and road
ways leading to the several buildings.
A short distance from the entrance
lies miniature lake with the park i'm
mediately surrounding studded with
clumps of trees and ornamental
shrubbery, furnishing delightfully."-
cool and shaded retreats, with the
places made sweet and refreshing
from the spicy odors Of the great var
iety of blooming growth. The spark
ling waters OF the lake ripples in the
sunlight, presenting a picture OF love-
liness beyond the skill Of pen to de-
scribe or brush to portray. From this
point of view, the distribution and
stateliness of the exposition buildings
are most striking. Perhaps the most
conspicuous is the group of five man.
moth Central Buildings, standing up
on a slight elevation and accessible
by any OF the roads interspersing the
grounds. Directly In front Of this
group of buildings, standing out upon
the green sward, is the imposing Grant
Memorial building, within which is
the modest cabin in which the illus
trious soldier was born. At each OF the
four corners is planted a cannon, with
mouth pointed out. as symbohc Of Sc
Curity and protection to the Historic
relic cared for.
The road to the left leads directly
