PART -FOUR OF
ART PORTFOLIOS
SHOWS A PICTURE OF THE OPEN.
ING DAY AT THE ST. LOUIS Elk.
POSITION.


Part VI shows on the first page a
portion of the vast crowd of opening
day sight-seers, standing with bowed
heads on the plaza facing the Louisiana
Purchase Monument, while Rev. DR..
Frank Gunsaulus, of Chicago, offers up
a PRAYER. In the background can be
seen Festival Hall and the Cascades.
The next view is also an opening day
scene and possesses an interest all it's
own, inasmuch as the long files of
soldiers shown in the picture, holding
back the enthusiastic spectators. are
Flllpinos; the little brown men. who,
but short time ago. were vainly en-
deavoring to check the advance of the
American soldiers.
The most Travelled throughfare of the
Worlds Fair, is what Secretary Ste
vens calls Louisiana Way, where two
human streams constantly cross and
mingle This a beautiful view and
gives an idea of the size of the Grand
Basin, which is one-third wider than
the Court OF Honor at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition. De Soto Bridge
is shown with the Lagoon beneath
it.
The next picture gives one a close
range view of Hennepin Bridge, and
brings out clearly and in detail the
ornamental work. Beyond the bridge
rises the south facade Of the Palace of
Liberal Arts.
Among the most attractive spots on
the worlds Fair grounds are the
terraces where the vivid green of lawn
and maple trees bring out the richness
or the old ivory tint of the palaces.
This view gives the beholder some idea
OF Worlds Fair Distances.
One of the most attractive features
of the next view is its striking illus
tration of the manner in which ma
tionalities are commingled at the Fair
on a basis of active good will and
friendly mutual interest It shows a
great throng of Americans massed be-
hind file of Filipino soldiery, gazing
upon a richly blanketed elephant with
East Indian attendants.
Particularly attractive are the pic
lures showing the Fair as it appears at
night, when the huge palaces appear to
be built Of light. 1t it difficult to i'm
agine anything more beautiful. This
particular Illustration shows the Palace
of Electricity, and the effect is such
that one might almost expect to see the
building itself disappear in unreality
when the light goes out.
Look out for a notwithstanding crowd
at the exposition whenever pike"
parade is announced. The people know
that this is always sight worth seeing
for the professions include people of
over sixty different tongues and ami
mails from every cline. In Portfolio
No. VI is shown the section of the
opening day parade including the
camels and elephants, passing the
Louisiana Purchase monument.
The next view furnishes excellent
photographs Of Director of Work, Isaac
S. Taylor and his staff. Steady con-
iinual advance in the work Of cOnstru.-
ton have been characteristic of Mr.
Taylor and his assistants.
One thing that interests everyone who
visits the Fair is the history of the
vast territory of Louisiana from the
carly explorations to the present day as
told in the work of four scores of the |
most famous sculptors of the country. |
Occupying opposite pages in this port |
folio are Photographic reproductions of |
the statutes of Meriwether Lewis and |
and William Clark, leaders of the ia
nous Lewis & Clark exedition.
A very attractive group is that which |
shows the commissioners of foreign |
countries. No more brilliant gather
ing is seen when the Diplomatic Corps |
at Washington assemblies than thai
formed by the Commissioners General
and STATS, when they came together in
the Hall of Congresses to participate
in the opening ceremonies on the plaza
Of st. Louis.
On the next three pages are shown
views of some OF the characteristic
of Ohio and Arkansas, each
Pavilion of Nicaragua and the state
Of Ohio and Arkansas each
very attractive in its way.
The last view is perhaps, the most
attractive and interesting picture of all
he number secured by the official pho
tOgrapher of the "Pike" parade on
Opening Day It shows a long stretch
# Administration Avenue, with eager
,rowds of all natlonalities lined up
along its borders while between the
solid walls of humanity marches the
Parade ofAll Nations. 1t illustrates the
of the Worlds Fair
grounds for professions and pageants.
