commissioners; E. H. Hartman, of
New York, for the exhibitors. The
last speech of the day was by Secre-
tary of War Taft, and at its conclu-
sion the signal was given to President
Roosevelt in the White House, the
golden key was pressed, the cascades
sent down their floods, thousands of
banners were unfurled, and the great
Louisiana Purchase exposition was
open to the world.
.. Among the distinguished visitors to
arrive Friday were Secretary of War
Taft, who represents the president,
and Gen. Chaffee. They reached the
city at s o'clock last night and were
met by Gen. Bates and Mayor Francis
and other officials. The special con-
gressional train bearing 400 persons,
including the committee from the
house of representatives appointed to
attend the opening exercises, also ar
rived, as did governors from a num-

During the day the United States
gunboat Nashville and the torpedo
boat destroyer Lawrence, which will
represent the navy at the fair, ar

the boats arrived at an hour some

exposition, while others went merely
to wander through Forest park and
gaze at the ivory white buildings
from without the high board fence
which surrounds the 1,240-acre sec
tion of the park occupied by the ex-
position. Although the general pub
lie was barred, there were few who
were permitted to enter the expo
sition grounds.
ST. Louis, May 3.-When the first
regular day of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition had drawn to close a
flood of light from thousands of cleo
trio bulbs that line the tops of the
main buildings. illuminated the
grounds so that day almost continued.
Throngs of visitors began pouring
into the grounds early in the evening
in anticipation of the illumination
feature. Music of bands and falling
waters lent attraction to evening Wis
itors. The plaza became the central
point of interest, as the main exhibit
tion buildings close at dark.
The illuminated grounds are open,
however, until II o'clock so that Wis
itors may enjoy the Pike, the waters
and the music.
The intramural railroad started
running yesterday with a limited

Ohio's building completed the days

All of yesterday and last night the
people worked with desperate energy
to accomplish the thousand and one
things that always remain to be done
at the last moment. AT the eXpoSi-
tion grounds 10000 men worked all
day putting the final touches upon the
grounds, buildings, sidewalks, clean
ing buildings, removing scaffolds and
arranging exhibits This work con-
tinued without cessation until dawn.
In the down town streets and in the
residence districts the decorations
are profuse and beautiful. The eXer-
cises to-day were more serious than
resplendent. There was compare
lively little of the glittering pageant
that marked the dedication exercises
year ago, but the ceremonies pre-
ceding the formal opening were none
the less interesting. At o'clock in
the morning all the high dignitaries
of the exposition met at the admins
tration building and, headed by
band, marched to the Plaza of st.
Louis, in the center of the exposition
grounds.
Representatives of foreign govern
ments met at the hall of congresses at
the same hour and timed their parade
to the plaza SO as to arrive at the
same moment the exposition officials
marched in from the opposite direc-
ton. At the same time representa-
tives of state and territorial govern
ments entered the plaza from third
avenue, having previously formed at
the United States building.
After the gathering was called to
order by President Francis, Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, de-
lvered the invocation. At the con-
clusion of the prayer Director of
Works Isaac S. Taylor delivered the
keys of the buildings to President
Francis. who in turn transferred the
buildings to Frederick j. V. Skiff, the
director of exhibits. The chorus
