that point.

gateway to the west will bring ono. altar
walk of i.ooe feet. to the north end OF the

ings viii have dawned until the yiHts1

Do not turn and look down the hin Until
the center Of the summit has been Ga1nsd
and then wheel suddenly and look out ovsS
the whole layout Of the Exposition.
This is the only way to secure any ado
quate conception Of the vast fan shape d
the picture"
One OF the sights Of the partly completed
Fair of to-day Is the view Of the south
fronts OF Mines and Metallursy. Education,
Electricity and Machinery. as they gwinS
around the Cascade Gardens.
II is the best point from which to gsf IN
impression Of the many dornes towers, min.
arets and needles OF the great palaces.
These architectural points are the saving
grace OF the Exposition.
The breaking up of acres Of low das
roofs by the uplft of spire and pylonio
elevations give the Exposition o sky line
that Is graceful and inspiring.
ANOTHER way OF seeing the grounda and
this way is the fashion Of the person who
Is seeking fine impressions, IS to take tho
Chouteau avenue cars and alizht at the
southeast corner gate Of the Fair. half Q
mile beyond Forest Park Highlands.
Enter tho wooded plateau OF the EXPOSE
ton grounds at this point and strike Int
the forest.
Soon you win come to the framework Of
small buildings set among the trees Thsy
are the beginnings Of State buildings. Iowa
is the furtherest advanced. Kansas Is well
urder way and the foundations Of others
have been begun.
Pass to the lief. Of these structures ana
keep through the woods. You will cross
many lines of railway tracks, the construc-
tinn road OF the Exposition. Tho rear Of
the Fine Arts Palace Is only ten minutes
walk through the woods.
An inspection Of this building Is worth
while.
Passing through the building, you come
suddenly out into the open.
a grand view bursts on the sight.
1t is the whole expanse OF the Exposition
outsprcad for n mile on the plain below the
Cascade Gardens.
That instant glimpse Of the Exposition
picture Is worth twenty walks through the
understanding trees, filed with birds and
squirrels.

larging great groups for the building, and
avenues from small models. one may 70
direct to the Education Building from the
Lindeil pavilion or from De Baliviere and
Lindell boulevard

building. The process. which was described
recently in The Sunday Republic, Is ex-
tremely interesting and Instructive.

the Cottage in Forest Park. he can see the
interesting sight of raising steel trus.es on
the United States Government building by
passing through tho small gateway scross :.
