Everyone who has visited the grounds
Of the Pan-American Exposition dur
ing the last few months has been
astonished beyond expression upon
behoIding the magnitude and the ex-
ceptional beauty and novelty Of the
enterprise. It is very much larger
than people generally have supposed,
and it is apparent that the $40. 900, 600,
which is the approximate cost OF the
rxpusItIuu whvtc, has been a.
pended most wisely and with the hap
pest results. The particular novelty
that is to be noted in this Exposition
is discovered in the fact that in its
exterior aspect it is radical departure
from former expositions. The build
ings are arranged upon a harmonious
and well-deyeloped plan, producing
court settings and yistas OF very charm
ing character The use Of nodded staff
work and decorative sculpture upon
the buildings and at all salient points
within the courts, the liberal employ
ment of hydraulic and fountain fea-
lures, the floral and garden effects, the
exquisite colorings of buildings and
architectural ornaments, aud the ilu-
mination of the whole with more than
800, 600 electric lamps, combine to make
picture of unsurpassed loneliness.
The musical features are also of great
Importance and interest. The exhibit
divisions are very complete and en-
brace the gamut of industrial, scientific
and artistic activities of the people of
the Western Hemisphere. The Mid
way, claimed to be the greatest in tho
world. has moro than a mile of front
age. The restaurant features are per
feet and the Exposition, 40 far as
human ingenuity and the wise ex-
penditure Of money can accomplish
such a work, is complete to the last
detail
Buffalo, too, is an ideal city for an
exposition, having a summer climate
that is tempered by the breezes from
Lake Erie and, therefore, the most
comfortable in which one may enjoy
his summer outing The people of the
city have prepared themselves in
most ample way to entertain millions
of guests during the Exposition The
private dwellings throughout the city
have been thrown open to the public
