OPENING THE
EXPOSITION

the Pan American Exposition IS open
Without ceremony the turnstiles be,
gan clicking time to the'tlr day OF
the big shows scheduled career Of
SIX months, at $50 this morning. At
noon the flags were unfurled, there
was short speech by Director Gen.
eral Buchanan and the band blazed
forth "Thc Star Spangled Banner. F"
Later on there was a salute from
forty-iyc bombs, while 5000 homing
pigeons were released with messages
to all parts OF the compass within a
radius of 100 miles. Concerts by the
band during the afternoon and even
ing and a somewhat tame illumina-
tion tonight, embraced the event Of
the EXposition's S birthday.
Only a few hundred persons wit
ness ed the brief ceremonies. The
reason is not hard to find. AS a
matter of fact the gates have been
open for week and all who cared to
pay % cents could have the privilege
of seeing the big show taking shape.
To-day it cost 30 cents for the same
privilege There was very little
more to be seen today than there
was the dav before or a week ago
The cypected rush of visitors is not
vet here and Buffalo itself did not
make the day a holiday as had been
originally planned. The town was
