Of the Worlds Fair found the gates
tightly closed to the hundreds of peo

Many went to the vicinity of the
Worlds Fair grounds half expecting
that by some chance they might be ad

went merely to wander through Forest
Park and gaze at the ivory buildings
from without the high board fence
which surrounds the 1,240-acre section
which the park occupies. However,
the public were barred. There were a
favored few who were permitted to
enjoy the Exposition grounds today.
They were Secretary of War Taft, Gov.
Herrick of Ohio, Exposition officials
and the members of the congressional
delegation who attended the opening
yesterday and the members of the
Pennsylvania State commission, who
tomorrow will dedicate the Keystone
State building.

THE LATE WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
Who Invited the Nations 10 the Fair.

w UO lHNiteu tHe INdllOnS 10 INC L DIR.
Those who had visited the grounds
during the constructive period were
agreeably surprised to find what had
been done during the past few days in
the way of clearing up the grounds,
while those who saw the fair for the
first time were lost in wonderment at
the magnificent spectacle spread out
before them. 1t was as if they had been
suddenly dropped down in fairyland.
They had heard much, had read much,
but were not prepared for the reality,
as they had imagined that Jorge por-
tion of the stories of the magnitude
and grandeur of the Ivory City was
simply so much talk.
The gathering thousands rapidly
spread themselves over the grounds,
examining aud admiring the stately
exteriors of the various buildings, the
portals of which were to remain closed
until the formal opening ceremonies
we're concluded by the touching of the
electric button by President Roosevelt
In Washington that was to start the
machinery in motion, set the beauti-
full cascades running and unfurl the
thousands of banners of all nations
with which the buildings are decorated.
AS the hour arrived for the cere-
monies TO begin the hosts gradually
began to wend their way to the grand
plaza, where the exercises were to be
held, and il was not long before little
else could be seen except one vast sea
of humanity, anxiously waiting for the
| exercises to begin.
The exercises, preceding the formal
act Of nnfurling the flags and opening
the exhibit palaces was spectacular and
elaborate. They were enacted at the
Louisiana Purchase monument. in the
heart of the fair and facing the grand
cascades, the most beautiful panoramic
view in the exposition. There were
assembled the representatives Of the
