EXPOSITION NOTES.
Brief Items Relating to Progress of
the Pnn-American.

The Chittenango Pottery Company
has been granted the exclusive privi-
lege of selling pottery at the Exposi-
ton.
Frederick Law Olmstead, who advo-
Gates the adjustment Of billboards be-
cause Of their inartistic and unsightly
character, is the landscape architect
who laid out Delaware Park, Buffalo,
a part of which is to be used for the
Pan-American Exposition in 1901.
We have only admiration for the
courage, enterprise, liberality and en-
ergy displayed by the city at the foot of
the lake in preparing for the great Ex-
position which is to be held next year.
If ever success was earned, Buffalo
has earned it. The city deserves to be
filed with visitors during the life of
the Pan-American Exposition and to
reap a rich harvest of honor, glory and
substantial gains.-Cleveland Leader.
I'VE have never advertised the re-
sources Of our state half enough" says
The Times-Democrat of New Orleans
In an article upon the Pan-American
Exposition, in which 1t urges an ade-
quate representation of the resources
of Louisiana. The same may be said
of other states, and the opportunity
now offered by Buffalo Is of exception
al value.
The enthusiasm and interest display
ed by the people of southern California
in the preparation of their great dis
play of products for the Pan-American
Exposition present a lesson and an eX-
ample for all citizens to contemplate.
American enterprise seems to have a
very high development in 'the glorious
climate of California" The CalifOr-
mans purpose to make a very large
and effective display.
One of the most conspicuous features
of the Niagara Falls landscape now is
a mammoth sign handsomely lettered
thus: Pan American Exposition, Buff
falo, n. Y, 1901" There are several
similar signboards placed where thou

upon the great railroads may in this

frances and broad alsles, so that the
comfort Of the spectators will be as
sured. The large space beneath the
seats will be used for exhibits, being
the equivalent Of a very large build
ing. The arena will contain a quarter
mile track and ample room for the va
rious pageants and exhibitions Of live
stock, automobiles, farm and road ma
chinery, vehicles, etc. At the western
end of the Stadium is large ornamen-
tai building, which forms the main
entrance to this grand arena.

BuaaIo's Mayor and the Exposition.

The Hon. Conrad Diehl, mayor Of
Buffalo, the home of the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition, has great faith in the
success Of the enterprise and is more
than pleased with the progress that is
being made on the work of construc-
tion. He says; 81 frequently drive out
there and look over the buildings. It.
is phenomenal the Tapidity with
which the work Is carried forward.
The men who are directing the EXposi-
tion affairs are shrewd calculators,
and they are going to make this enter
prise the wonder of the world. Out
siders are becoming enthusiastic over
1t. Thousands OF people who did not
go to the Worlds fair at Chicago viii

body prepare to receive them and give

The ArgeAtine Republic will have Il

which will represent fittingly the pro-

Argentine merchants, and especially
those Of Buenos Ayres, appreciate the
Importance of representation at the

The Most Delicate and Intricate
Plastic Work Ever Attempted For
Exposition Purposes Color and
horticultural EmbeIIishment.
The development of the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition at Buffalo is observed
with profound interest throughout the
western world. Almost every day
shows some new feature Of the magnifi-
cent enterprise completed. Some new
tower rears aloft its ornamental pin
| nacle, some new dome presents its
! rounded top to the sky, or socae new
decoration Of form or color IS added to-
the wonderful bouquet Of architecture
al loveiiness.
Never was there an Exposition so
novel, so unlike what the world has
learned to expect, as this with the
glorious examples Of tie Exposition
builders art and genius to look lack
upon with fond remembrance ard nd
mration, the world has wondered II all
that has been promised for the Pan
American would be realized If one
may judge by the present stage Of the
vast work, the millions of visitors to
Buffalo during the exposition season
which begins on the LIST Of May next,
will suffer no disappointment.
The Pan-Amerlcan Exposition will
outshine its distinguished predeces-
sors in many particulars. OF these the
court settings are of first Importance.
In order that there Ilay be abundant
room for the elaborate decorative eff
fects, 33 acres are alone devoted to
courts This area Is two and a half
times the area of the courts at the
Chicago Columbian Exposition. About
these broad courts ere grouped a score
of great buildings, in which the multi
tude of exhibits from all parts of the
western world are to be displayed.
AS a second important feature may
be mentioned the ornate architecture,
the use of plastic ornamentation Of
very intricate and beautiful design and
the employment of original sculptured
groups in the exterior decorations Of
buildings, entrances and architectural
features. No less than 125 original
sculptured groups, modelled by some 30
or more distinguished American sculp-
tors, will be used in this feature of the
decorative work.
The use of an elaborate coLor scheme
has never before been attempted at an
exposition. The appropriate title Of
the Rainbow City" has already been
applied to this great group of brilliant
ly colored buildings, and lovers of color
will fine fhe exquisite harmony of
tints that has here been produced a
most delightful subject for contempla-
tion and study.
AS a fourth point Of superiority may
be named the hydraulic and fountain
features. In all the courts are broad
pools containing numberless cascades
and fountains. These will add to the
beauty of the great work in no small
degree. Many of the fine sculptures
will form a part Of these charming
fountains. A broad and stately canal
mile and half In length, banked
with grass and lined with a double row
of young trees, completely encircles the
main group Of buildings
The horticultural establishment OF
the grounds constitutes a fifth point of
excellence. Ornamental trees. shrubs,
lawns and flowers Of brilliant hue will

The morning of the funeral the Ver-
