The Wonderful Work Which VIII at
tract Millions Of People to Buff
falo Next Year.


The Bureau Of Publicity OF the
Pan American Exposition has Just is
sued very complete booklet de-
scriptive Of the enterprise to be
held at Buffalo next year. The
booklet contains Is pages with l2l
titles and 50 illustrations. The pub
LEFTY up TO the present time has been
piece meal, bringing out the various
| features as they have developed, but
an examination of this booklet gives
to the reader very comprehensive
idea of the splendid character of the
Exposition.
The total cost Of the Exposition ex-
elusive of exhibits, is now estimated
at $40, 900, 900. OF this amount about
50, 900, 900 will be expended upon the
Midway. The sum for the Midway is
more than the total cost of some very
pretentious eXpositions, SO that by
comparison one may gain very fair
idea of the work which Buffalo is car
rying rapidly to completion. A beau
tiful landscape comprising $50 acres,
half mile wide and mile and
quarter long, is devoted TO this won
derful enterprise.
The word ''Pann as a prefix to
Amer lean means All--that Is TO say,
the Exposition is for all the Americas,
exhibits from European countries not
being accepted. Ii is claimed for the
Pan American Exposition that it will
be the most artistic creation Of the
kind ever brought into existence. It
will excel all former exposltions in its
court settings, having 80 acres Of
courts alone, upon which to bestow
the wonderful embellishments Of
fountains and cascades, pools and
lakes, canals and lageons, lawns and
gardens. The twenty or more great
structures which are TO shelter the
exhibits gathered from all corners Of
the Western Hemisphere and from ali
the Island possessions Of the United
States will surround these courts.
Every building is richly adorned with
plastic 0rnamcntation and tinted in
accordance with magnificent color
scheme under direction Of Charles v.
Turner, the leading artist Of the world
in this work.
No exposition has ever undertaken
such an extensive use of sculpture for
decorative purposes. This work is
under the master direction of Karl
Bitter, who has added TO the vast
knowledge and infinite skill which
gave him the leading position at the
World Fair at Chicago, the expert
ence OF seven more years OF activity
in his profession. Under his direc-
tion thirty or more sculptors, embrac-
Ing all the leading artists Of this class
in the United States, arc at work up
on more than l25 groups of original
sculpture.
In the use Of electric lights for de-
coratiye purposes this Exposition will
outshine all former undertakings.
Owing to the nearness Of Niagara
Falls, with unlimited electric power,
the PAM American Exposition has at
hand large volume OF energy which
will be employed TO whatever extent
may be necessary TO produce the most
brilliant, fantastic and beautiful cleo
trio lighting effects the world has ever
seen. The exhibits of the Exposition
are divided into about twenty classes
and embrace every line OF human ac-
tivity.
The gates OF the Exposition will
open on May /, 1901, continuing six
months. Buffalo, city OF nearly
400, 600 population, one of the most
charming cities Of the world and hay-
ing climate 10 degrees cooler than
any other city Of the northeyn states
in summer, is preparing to welcome
millions OF strangers to its gates next
year.
