Magnificent Canal Planned.

4 canal is to be built about the grounds of the Pan=American exposi= tion to De held In Buffalo in 1901. In Che construction of the canal it will be necessary to remove 1S9,00 cubic yards of earth. for the canal will be nearly two miles in length, and 1t will be Bot less than forty feet in width and from three feet six inches to four feet in depth. This magnificent Water- way will skirt the entire exposition grounds. and on either side of it there will be beautiful walks thirty-fve feet in width. One Of the ideas that the architects had fn mind was the beaus 3ies of the ensemble at night, when the magnifieenfly illuminated building would east Yari-calofed reflections upon the Hmpid waterway. It is the intention of the management =te= con struct at short distances along the canal stopping places at points of in terest. and to run on the canal a large number of beautiful craft so that the visitors may visit the buildings of the exposition either by land or water, for all of the buildings will have an en- trance on either side.
