Visitors who have .ho time can pat
in several days pleasantly and profita-
ply viewing the exhibits in the various
buildings. The display i'll the Elec-
tricity building is far ahead of any
thing ever seen before. The reader
will begin to feel something like ap-
probation when it is stated that the
electrical display is up to date in every
particular. In the last decade there
there have been remarkable strides in
this important field and all the won
dcrfnl inventions are shown here
The ordnance exhibit is another
feature which is far superior to any
thing of the kind ever before provided
by an Exposition. The display of big
guns by the United States Government

constantly looking ut the monster wea
pons and watching with interest the
illustrations OF handling them in actual
warfare. which are given by dctach-
mcnts of men from the Government
service.

structures; that on the right is the
EthnolOyy Building; the one on the

into the Esplanade, one being the Court
of Expresses and tho other the Court
OF Lilies. On the right an; fronting
facturcrs and Liberal Arts Building,
and on the opposite side is the Ma
chinery and Transportation Building.
The music of the Exposition has re-
ceived especial and what is better
expert attention. Seventy-five of the
best Organists in tho country, two or
chestras and twenty-five bands have
been engaged to provide music for the
entire Exposition The Temple, Of
tered around the Court of Fountains.
In this article have mentioned only
tew of the myriad wonderful features
of the Pan American Exposition. To
say few words about all of them
would require q great amount of space.
To attempt to give faithful descyip-

The admission to the grounds is 80
cents for adults and 25 cents for chill
