st Louis, Mo-, July, Is, 1904

Lonis, the central plaza in these
parts. Beginning here the other
important buildings shall be point
ed out, thus completing the gener-
al map of the grounds, a knowl-
edge that is exceedingly comfort
ing to every newcomer. 1t is
much pleasanter to know at all
times, if; not precisely, about
where you n cat" to use some
appropriate slang. Immediately
across the Plaza of st Louis, in
an easterly direction is the Manu-
facture Building, and just east OF
the Manufacture is the Palace Of
Liberal Arts. Perhaps it is we'll
to state here in connection with
these buildings that the two nam
ed above and the Palace of Varied
Industries, all being in a line
near each other, contain about the
sane class of exhibits. All could
have appropriately been put in one
with reference to classification,
but, presume it was impracticable
to make one building large enough,
| then. too. the three we're needed
to fill the space, probably.
Across a lagoon from the Elec-
tricity Building is the Education
Building, and crossing another la
goon' east of the latter, one ar
rives at the Palace of Mines and
Metallurgy, which is separated
from the Liberal Arts Building
only by a suuken garden of beauti-
flowers and shrubs, arti6cially ar
ranged in beds. Behind the
Liberal Arts Building and the
Mines aud Metallurgy Building.
occupying rather a central posi-
ton, and closing the long street
which extends from the Skinker
Road some distance above is loca-
ted the Government Building,
probably the most interesting one
| here. If is elevated considerably
above the surrounding plazas and
buildings, and is reached by broad
flight of steps extending the whole
length of building. To the south
is the Government Fisheries Build
ing, between which and the Gov
eminent Building proper are mod
| els of Notifications with large guns
mounted. This ia also a Govern
ment exhibit.
This practically completes the
large exhibit buildings, all the re-
naming structures being states
buildings or less inferior edifces.
1t is a little difficult to locate the
state buildings, because they are
so badly scattered However, it
may be best to give the location
of Some of the more important
ones, and ours. Missouri's, the
largest here, appropriately so, is
situated further up the same hill
east with the Government Build
ing. South of this, on the edge
of the hill is Washington's, and in
| the little hollow between the hills
the large bird cage Of the Smith
sonian Institute is placed. Going
further south over the opposite
hill zone finds New York, Okla
homa, Idaho, Arizona, Indian
Territory, New jersey and Mis-
sissippi. Ohio Building is at the
head of the hollow, and just be-
low the cage is an exhibit of Jones'
Vile Pottery. If one follows the
road south of the Mines aud Metal
lurgy Building more of these
buildings can be located. Germa-
ny's Pavilion is on the hill south
of the last named building and
contains the German chimes, used
to announce important occurrences,
noon ,and 5 o'clock in the after
noon. Most of the other foreign
buildings will be found along the
street leading from Administration
Building, south to the Agrlcul-
tnre Building.
The Inside Inn is located near
the Mississippi Building. Now,
between the cluster of state build
nsmed above and the Agriculture
and the Horticulture Buildings
thera is not very much to be seen.
