drawn to a close and the mantle Of

the plaza of St Lodis and the lagoon.
Throngs OF visitors began pouring into
the grounds early in the evening in an

While lights were utilized and the main
portion Of the grounds took on even
more of festival appearance than BY
daylight, which was the more enhanced
BY the strains 3of music from the band
at the northern end tof the plaza Of ST.
Louis, and the fliilrnlur Of the fountains
and falling torrents that poured down
the cascades into the grand basin at
the southern END. The plaza became
the central point Of interest.
