p1ete without statuary at salient points.
The director of sculpture, Mr. Carl Bit
ter. describes this important feature of
the Exposition in the following Ian
guage:
My idea is to have the sculpture of
the Exposition convey a distinct and
definite meaning. In working out the
general plan, we will divide the work
into three subdivisions. On the left
hand side of the Esplanade the archi-
lecture will treat of the natural wealth
of the country. The Horticultural,
Mining and Forestry buildings are To-
Gated on that side, and the ornamental
ton will be in keeping with the charac-
ter of these buildings.
PLACED in the center of the Court
of Fountains will be the Fountain of
Nature, with the Fountain of Ceres, the
goddess of grain, on one side, and on
the other side the Fountain of Chronos,
the god of time The latter will convey
the idea that nature is eternal, has no
end. In addition there will be three
groups of statuary, one representing
mineral wealth, another floral wealth
and the third animal wealth. Between
the pedestals of the stairways leading
to the fountains will be groups of ami
mails in peaceful attitudes. buffaloes
resting, moose resting and feeding, etc.
ION the right wing of the EspIanade
will be sculpture illustrative of man
and his institutions, for on this side will
be the Ethnology, Government and 9TH
er buildings devoted to the pursuits of
humanity. The principal fountain on
this side will be the Fountain of Man.
It win be hanked on one side by the

pride which the people of the United
States take in their country. This
bridge will have four large piers, sur
mounted by mounted standard bearers
holding aloft flags of the Union. Below
them will be figures bearing trumpets,
and farther below will be heaped tro-
phies expressive of peace and power.
The bridge will have in addition sew
eral other beautiful pieces of statuary,
each telling its own story"
TWO PERMANENT BUILDINGS.
In the accompanying illustrations are
shown the two buildings that will re-
main after the Exposition as monu-
ments to the enterprise. These are the
Albright Gallery of Art and the New
York State building. The Art Gallery
is the gift of Mr.. J. J. Albright of Buff
falo to his fellow citizens. Mr. Albright
expressed the wish to expend about
$3.50, 900 for the purpose, though not
placing such a limitation upon the
work The building is to be an Ionic
temple, the architects deriving much of
their inspiration from the Erechtheum
on the Acropolis at Athens. The length
is $50 feet and the greatest breadth
about $50 feet. The site chosen is with
in the grounds of the public park which
form a part of the Exposition plot. It
is on high ground overlooking the Park
Lake and the North Bay. The majestic
edifce, built of white marble, classical
and pure in its architectural lines, will
stand upon a granite walled terrace.
The main approach from the east will
be up broad flights of steps between
groups of statuary and through formal
gardens. The entrance will be between
stately pillars of marble, which abound
upon the exterior of the building. On
the west or Elmwood avenue side will
be a hemicycle or auditorium, the ex-
terror of which is surrounded by a col
onnade. This will be a place for lee
lures when the building shall have been
given to the custody of the Buffalo

The concessionaires have an associa-
ton and have recently estimated that
more money would be spent upon the
Pan-American Midway alone than was
expended upon the entire Omaha Expo
sition. This feature has grown so rap
idly that another broad strip of land
has been added, making now about
thirty acres to be used for this feature.
The Midway will be over 1000 feet long,
or about four-tifths of mile 1t will
be a greater feature than the Midway
at Chicago not only in size but in the
excellence of it's many attractions
There are already over a score of big
features booked, each a large show in
itself, with more coming. "A Trip to
the Moon" originated for this Exposi-
ton by Frederick Thompson, is said
to be one of the finest illusions
ever created. The passenger jumps
aboard an airship under a starlit
sky and takes a sail through space.
He seems to go over a number of cities
at height of about two miles before
leaving the earth; then the earth falls
behind and shrinks to the appearance
of a ball Presently he arrives at the
moon, where he is met by a guide who
leads him to the palace of the Man in
the Moon" There are many interesting
objects to be seen in streets and pal
aces, and when the return is made to
earth the traveller wonders what sort
of dream country he has been investi-
eating.
Darkness and Dawn" is another IL
fusion scarcely less wonderful. The
visitor is guided through a labyrinth
of unusual interiors, where he is
brought face to face with the expert
ences of those who have departed this
life with their sins still upon them. The
punishments meted out to those who
prevaricate, or who borrow umbrellas
and forget to return them, to gossips
and scandal mongers, to the man who
asks rs it hot enough for your" and
others, are wildly depicted. Following
these grewsome scenes come the bright
er ones in the 'Grotto of Dawn" where
dancing maidens and cheerful sur
roundings gladden. the heart. When
one returns again to familiar scenes
and mingles with the crowds the effect
of the dreamlike experience goes with
him. Other Midway attractions, each
costing many thousands of dollars to
prepare. which may be mentioned are
Streets of Mexico" the Beautiful ORR

and mile long. Timbers are standing
In the air at all sorts of angles. The
framework of pile drivers is conspicu-
Gus in the skyline. The undried stat
uary is holding a lawn party or a
camp meeting in an open space back of
James Alexander's." It is suggested
that they are discussing dress reform.
Grading machines are still doing duty,
and you may have to jump a ditch
now and then. The Grand Canal and
the Mirror Lakes, the aquatic basins
and pools and the numberless foun-
tains are still waterIess. But Lake
Erie is not far away. The only show of
color is in the sky and in the fresh
shrubbery. I should add the ten thou
sand rOsebushes that have been set
out that are to constitute the rose gar
den of the Exposition next year. Some
of these are putting out a few blossoms
by way of practice this season.
THE COLOR SCHEME.
Speaking of color, I should repeat
what Charles Yardley Turner, the di-
rector of color. has promised. He says:
Il believe the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton, in point of artistic variety and
ma gnifcence of display, will surpass
any previous exposition in this country
THE color scheme I will work out
will, of course, be supplementary to the
architectural scheme devised by Mr..
Bitter, the director of sculpture. The
style of architecture, as you know, is
to be of the Spanish Renaissance. The
buildings will be crowned with roofs of
red thing, which will make one great
band of red. The exterior walls of the
structure win be treated in yellowish

have been the rounds of the depart
ments, talking with the chiefs, picking
up news of the Exposition and absorb
ing the spirit of the enterprise. 1t
takes long time to comprehend the
Exposition idea in it's present state of
development and embodiment. 1t is the
most comprehensive subject that mind
can undertake to grasp. 1t embraces
all arts and industries, all sciences and
realms of knowledge and aims to pre-
sent clearly the highest results In all
lines of effort
What infinite toll and study What
marvellous skill in handicraftl What a
wonderful advance of knowledge What
glorious intellectual growth this
great Pan-American Exposition will
represent 1 reflect no discredit upon
the people of Buffalo when I say they
but feebly understand the greatness of
their enterprise. The making of the
Exposition has been intrusted to a
board of directors of leading business
men, who are all busy with their own
affairs and can devote only a part of
their time to the work They labor
without salary and meet once a week
oftener if necessary-to hear reports
from executive officers. The Hon. John
c. Milburn, we'll known lawyer, is
president of the board, and Edwin
EIe1nlng, an editor OF national reputa-
ton, is secretary of the board. The
Exposition as a whole is under a di-
rector general, the Hon. William Insco
Buchanan of Sioux City, Ia, who was
at the head of the departments of Ag-
riculture, Live Stock and Forestry at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, and
afterward for six years United States
Minister to the Argentine Republic. The
various heads of exhibit divisions are
chosen because a SnRPi21 f.
ness, experience and expert knowledge.
The principal offices of the Exposition
are in Ellicott Square, a great office
building of Buffalo, and at the grounds
of the Exposition the Service building
is a hive of industry where those con-
cerned in the immediate work of pre-
pairing the grounds and buildings have
their headquarters.

Commissioners from Wisconsin who
will have charge of the exhibits from
that state at the Pan-American Expo
sition visited Buffalo a few days ago
and selected a site for the structure.
About twenty acres have been set apart
on the eastern side of the Exposition

The site chosen for the Wisconsin build

south of one of the mirror lakes. 1t will

The Government buildings at the

group of three buildings, connected by
curved arcades. The main structure is
to be 500 by 100 feet, with a dome ESQ
feet high, and the two smaller buildings
each $50 feet square. All departments
of the government will make up-to-
date exhibits, which the members of the
government are now busy collecting
and getting into shape.
