WATER SPECTACLE.
BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAIN EFFECTS FOR
THE AN-AMERICAN.

UnexampIed Sights to he Provided
For Visitors to the Exposition.
VIII Use $4,000 Gallons of Water
Per Minute For This Feature.
When visitors to the Pan-American
Exposition view the fountain diplays,
they will be inclined to wonder where
all the water comes from, so plentiful
Will be the supply. 1t will be with
these fountain displays the same as it
will be with the electrical exhibit.
There will be point, place, at which
the display will increase in beauty and
extent until the climax is attained in
and about the Electric Tower and the
basin thereof. So extensive will this
be that all VIII recognize the beauty of
the display and look in wondering ad-
miration upon the spectacle. which is
destined to be one of the most remark
able features of the Exposition
The pumping plant that viii supply
the water effects will lie located in the
Court of the Machinery and TTaiispor-
tation building. 1t will consist of u
pumps having a total capacity of 35,-
900 gallons of water per minute.
The engines are all to be betted to
their respective pump units. and they
will be required to be in service from
10 O'Clock in the morning Until Ills
O'Clock at night, period CT 13l4 hours.
Estimating their capacity at GG55.G00 gal
Ions of water each minute. it is evident
that each day during the time they are
to be in service they could pump the
enormous amount of 27,S25,000 gallons
of water. This water will be used to
serve the fountain displays at the Elec-
trio Tower and basin and also the
Court of Fountains, including the
Fountain of Abundance. The water
will be taken from an intake located at
the north end of the Court of Fountains
basin through 4S inch suction pipe.
1t will be delivered by the pumps
through 16 inch and 20 inch pipes at a
pressure of 10 pounds per square inch
to the fountain oriffces. From these
orifices the water will stream in all
shapes from the finest spray jet to the
SUllu Slfedul IllcHeS lulCA slldl VIII FlSe
high in the air.
At the Fountain of Abundance the
sight will be all the name implies
There will be an abundance Of water
and it will be in motion Beyond the
Fountain of Abundance will be the
Court of Fountains. and this basin Will
be filed with large jets of water
thrown vertically. They will be known
as pillar jets. In this basin will also
be located beautiful groups of water
figures, all formed in the manner in
which the water is projected. The wa
ter figures will resemble sheaves of
wheat, lilies, etc, and they Will average
IL feet high. On a line through the
center of the main Court Of Fountains
there will be all of 20 of each Of these
figures of surprising beauty.
Beyond this still at the north end OF
The Court of Fountains. will be the
Genius of Water. Here III a significant
group of statuary the sculptor VIII pc2

the right is the Agriculture building
and on the left the Electricity building.
We now arrive at the most conspicuous
feature of the Exposition. the massive
Electric Tower, 391 feet in height.
This tower stands between the Court
of Fountains and the Plaza, in a
broad pool, about two acres in extent.
This will be the most ornamental
feature OF the great Exposition and
will be the centerpiece for special and
elaborate electrical illumination. I'M
mediately north of the Electric Tower
Is the Plaza, with its beautiful sunken
garden and bandstand in The center,
the Propylaea or monumental en-
frances at the north. the entrance to
the Stadium on the east and the en-
trance to the Midway OH the west.
It should be understood by every In
tending visitor that the Exposition will
present the most beautiful spectacle
that twentieth century genius can pro-
vide. By day there will be a most
pleasing display of floral and fountain
effects. The many buildings, with their
elaborate and delicate tracery of orna-
mental plastic work and their radiance
of color, the many groups of statuary
in every part of the grounds, will con-
stitute a picture never before parallel
ed. At night all the buildings will glow
with the soft radiance of thousands OF
electric lights, making scene of un-
rivaled brilliance and splendor. Half
a million lamps will be used in the
electrical illumination.
It should also be added that the Mid
way at the Exposition will be the most
extensive and novel that has ever been
prepared. 1t will be 5000 feet long,
having more than a mile of frontage.
Over 80 very interesting features, many
of them covering several acres, will
make up this gigantic collection of
wonders.
The athletic features of the Exposi-
tion will be shown in the Stadium,
which covers about ten acres of ground
and contains a seating capacity for
more than 10000 people. All of the
exhibit buildings will be filed to COM
pletion with the very latest products
of Pan-American genius and industry
and will offer an opportunity for every
inquiring mind to learn most inter-
esting lesson of New World progress
and civilization.
The power for Exposition uses is fur
nished principally from Niagara Falls,
which are situated only few minutes
ride from the Exposition grounds. Buff
falo is city of nearly 100000 popula-
ton and is preparing in every possible
way for the reception of millions Of
visitors in 1901. MARK BENNITT.

enterprise Goard of Women Mana-
gers was appointed, consisting Of 25
representative women of Buffalo.
In addition to this the governors of
the states and territories were asked to
nominate two women each to act as
honorary members of TIE Women's
Board, these nominations to be ratified
by the Board of Directors OF the Expo
sition. The same request WaS Eiade of
the other Pan-Americal countries.
As a result of this request from the
Exposition more than 80 states have
honorary members of the WGmcn's
Board, and several Pan-American coun-
tries are also represented. The work
Of the honorary members supplements
that of the local Board, which has been
divided into committees and Is now do
ing effective work for the Exposition.
A distinctive point in the plan of the
Exposition is that the various indus
tries conducted by women are to be
represented by exhibits in the different
buildings where they may properly be
placed, so that the achievements of
women will be shown side b. side with
those of men, This is the FIST Expasf
tion in this rCLntry where such plan
has been followed and second. it is
said, in the world The same arrange
ment was followed most successfully
at the Paris Exposition.
It is in co-o2arI-,. with the various
divisions of the Exposition and with
the committees of the Mems Board Of
Directors that the Board of Women
Managers of the Fan American Exposi-
ton Is, to large extent. to work. The
following committees have been ap-
pointed: Executive, Entertainments
and Ceremonies. Fine Arts. Education,
Clubs and Orga nizations. Publicity and
Promotion and Applied Arts. The ma
jority of the members of each commit
tee belong to the Board cf Women

Exposition that it will surpass in beau
ty any previous exposition in the
worlds history. 1t is also expected
that it will outriyal its predecessors in
many other ways, for at no time have
such wondrous achievements in all
arts, such perfection in the hundreds
of trades, been attained But the pur-
pose of this article is to treat, in a gen.
eral way, Of the plan of the Exposf-
tion, the symmetry of arrangement
and the exterior beauty that repre-
cents the careful expenditure of several
millions of dollars. Accompanying this
article is a birdseye view of the Expo
sition plot showing the magnificent
work in its complete state. The view
is from the south and shows an area
one mile and a quarter long and half
a mile wide, there being $50 acres in
the inclosure. In the immediate fore
ground is a portion Of Delaware Park,
one of the famous beauty spots of Buff
falo. The view shows the Park Lake,
with the North Bay at the left, and in
the left foreground, south Of the bay,
may be seen a portion of the Albright

ing over 100000. North of the Bay is
the New York State Building. also a
permanent structure of marble. These
two buildings are in the style of Greek
temples, one containing reminders of
the Parthenon and the other resem-
bling somewhat the Erechtheum upon
the Acfopolis at Athens.
Between the North Bay and the Lake
the City of Buffalo has built at large
expense new and beautiful bridge of
heavy masonry. known as tie Bridge
Of the Three Americas. This bridge
carries the broad thoroughfare which
leads from the main southern entrance
to the approaches Of the Exposition, as
seen in the foreground just north Of the
Lake On the northern shore of the
Lake is situated the life saving station
erected by the Federal Government
where daily exhibitions will be given
by crew Of ten men showing the uses
of modern life saving apparatus as en-
ployed upon our coasts. Hidden from
view, upon the southern bank Of the
Lake, a beautiful casino and boathouse
has also been built by the City Of Buff
falo for Exposition uses.

cIal affairs of the Women's Board
previous to and during the Pan -Ameri-
can Exposition, arranging entertain
ments of various kinds for the hon.
orary members of the Board who visit
Buffalo, and also entertaining many
prominent women who are to be in
the city during the Exposition months.
A large number of conventions of wo-
men are to be held in Buffalo during
the Exposition. but the Women's Board
will not in any way be connected with
the conventions. although the commit
tee on Entertainments and Ceremonies
will doubtless entertain many of the
officers and other distinguished mem
bers of the various organizations meet
ing in the city Pan-American year.
The women of Buffalo have In several
instances extended invitations to lead
ing women's organizations to hold
their conventions in Buffalo during tie
Exposition. and. with the desire to
offer every courtesy possible. the COM
mittee on Entertainments and Cere-
monies will doubtless do great deal
to make it pleasant for the visiting
women during their stay In Buffalo.
The committee on Fine Arts of the
Women's Board. in cooperation with
a similar committee from the Mems
Board of Directors. will assist the Di-
rector of Fine Arts in arranging fer
representative exhibit at Buffalo of the
work of American artists
The committee on Education will az
range for series of educational exhib-
its, and possibly educational congresses
will be held in Buffalo during the Ex-
position. This committee is working in
cooperation with the Superintendent
of Liberal Arts and Education. AS the
chairman of the committee on Educa-
tion of the Women's Board is president
of the Women Teachers Association,
which owns its building, commodious
chapter house, she will doubtless do a
great deal toward arranging for Sc
ries of educational congresses in Buff
falo during the Exposition, although
the work will not be taken up by the
Exposition Board.
Women's clubs and organizations
have made tremendous progress during
the past few years, and the committee
on Clubs and Organizations of the Wo-
mems Board will find ample opportuni-
ty for bringing into prominence the
work of the women's clubs of the
Americas, especially showing the tre-
mendous advancement made since the
Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1898.
In response to many requests from
women's clubs the committee on Pub
licity and Promotion of the Women's
Board has been doing a great deal of
effective work in advertising the Ex-
position. At several women's conven-
tions representatives of, the Women's
Board of the Pan-American Exposition
have appeared upon the programme
and have interested in this way hun
drcds of leading clubwomen in the |
country. Great enthusiasm Is shown |
by the clubwomen of the United States
and Canada in the coming Exposition. |
and in many towns Pan-American
clubs have been formed by the women.
The committee on Applied Arts OF
the Women's Board is trying to secure
representative exhibits of women's
work at the Pan-American Exposition |
and with this object in view hopes to |

arrange a series OF corrective EXHIBITS
a. the Exposition buildings principally
in the division of Manufactures. Many
leading Industries conducted ty women
will probably be represented in these
collective exhibits.
a great zeal OF effective work has
been done through the honorary men,
bers Of the Women's Board, with
whom local members have been in
constant correspondence. with the re-
suit that the women of the Americas
are deeply interested in the Exposition
aud in many instances are arranging
for bringing large parties to Buffalo.
Some clubs have formed Pan Ameri-
can Bureaus with view to securing
large numbers to go from their re-
spective towns to Buffalo.
Although the women are TO have no
building for exhibits at the Exposi-
ton, women's headquarters OF the
grounds Is to be one of the most at
tractive structures there. 1t is well
situated, facing one of the main en-
frances to the Exposition grounds on
one side and the beautiful music gar
dens on the other. 1t is opposite the
New York State building. The house
was formerly the home of the Country
Club of Buffalo and is very artistic
structure. 1t has been remodeled to
meet the requirements of the Women's
Board during the Exposition Broad
verandas surround the house. A large
room on the main floor will be fitted
up for magazine and reading room.
where clubwomen visiting the Exposi-
ton grounds will find a comfortable
and quiet resting place. The offices
OF the Women's Board will also be on
the main floor. and there will be a
number of small rooms where lunch
cons may be served For larger en-
tertainments the magazine and reading
room will be used and will therefore at
times necessarily be closed to the pub
lie. Dressing rooms and other apart.
ments necessary to the comfort an6
convenience of visitors at the Women's
Building will be arranged for on the
second floor of the clubhouse.

these also are the buildings for the spe-
cial ordnance displays representing the
products of several hundred manufac-
tories in this line of work. West or the
Forecourt will be the outdoor horticul-

ing. We cross now the Triumphal
Bridge, which viii be remarkable for
its tall piers, richly orDamented with
statuary, the product Of the genius OF
Karl Bitter, the director of sculpture,
and other famous sculptors. On either
side are the Mirror Lakes which form
a part of the Grand Canal, more than
mile in length, which surrounds the
main group of buildings.
We come next to the Esplanade,
which is nearly two-fifths of q mile
long and $50 feet wide. The western
end of the Esplanade is inclosed by the
Horticulture. Graphic Arts and Mines
buildings. The eastern end is shut In
by the Government group of three
large buildings. Sunken~gardens with
elaborate fountains and many groups
Of sculpture occupy the two arms of
the Esplanade. and the decorative fea-
lures throughout this broad space are
very numerous and beautiful. North
Of the Esplanade is the Court of Foun-
tains, with the Ethnology building on
the right and the Music building on
the left Two subordinate courts also
open into the Esplanade from the
north, the one on the right being
known as the Court of Expresses and
the one on the left as the Court of
Lilies. Next, north of the Ethnology
building or the right and fronting upon
the Court of Fountains. is the Manu-
factures and Liberal Arts building and
on the opposite side the Machinery and
