the Exposition, in which there is in
cluded a large part of the city's great
and famously beautiful park, and from
the time that was done up to the pres
ent moment the interest and energy
manifested and the strong intent to
succeed in every way shown by the
people OF the city in their great under
taking have been focused upon and CEN
tered In the work now nearing compile
ton. The extent to which this interest
has been shown can be gagged from
the fact that on several recent SUM-
days 10000 people have passed through
the wagon gates to the grounds In or
der that they might see how the work
of constructing the Exposition build
ings was progressing.
Architectural wonders.
In its architectural qualities and out
lines the Exposition pays the republics
of South and Central America the
highest compliment possible. since in
the character and design of its build
ings there will be placed before the Wis

full and the most enchanting picture Of
Spanish architectural memories that
has ever been presented In any country
or place, while in its natural attrac-
lions and in the loveliness of its lake
and forest and dover setting the Expo
sition as a picture win be a source of
gladness and delight and a pride as
well to every one who visits It Those
who have its direction and manage

people of Buffalo and Of the State of
New York to be able to realize, as they
do, that their efforts In the work Of
building up and arranging the ground
work of the Exposition have been
warmly seconded on every hand. and
that the discouragements they have
met with and the difficulties they have
had to overcome have but more close
~ accumulated and made apparent the
merit Of their undertaking and brought
to them the unsought praise and hearty
applause of their fellow citizens Of the
United States. while the prominent and
praiseworthy activity being shown In
Mexico. Guatemala. Nicaragua. Costa
Rica, Honduras, Ecuador. Peru. Chill,
Bolivia, the Argentine Republic and In
Cuba, In all that relates to the partici-
patton of those countries In the EXPOSE
ton. is most encouraging and presages
a brilliant outcome. To this there Is to
be added the widespread interest now
manifested In the Exposition In Cana

Rico, in Hawaii and In the Philippines.
With these factors 70 work from, there
would seem to be a bright outlook
ahead for a successful outcome and a
