Clog the TurnstIe Slot.
A curious example of the troubles Of
the gatemen who receive the tickets
of admission occurred on the opening
day, and has been repeated many
times since. Two women marched to
the turnstile and before the gateman
could stop her one dropped two fifty
cent pieces in the slot. When the stile
refused to turn and the man explained
that they had clogged it the pair waxed
indignant and called the guard. With
the assistance of that officer and the
chief inspector the gateman extracted
the coins and unclOgged the machine.
The money was refunded and the ladies
walked in, both highly indignant at the
delay and declaring that the morning
paper had distinctly said coins were to
be accepted at the gate. Since the
fair has opened the incident has oc-
Cured so often that gatemen who
handle the biggest crowds have forti-
fed their slots against silver by plugs.
The main gate is solidly useful-no
decoration except a sloping red-tiled
roof Once inside the visitor treads on
a wide asphalted pavement terminated
by green trees, which screen for a mo-
ment the first view. Beyond this is

1.-THE Law Giver," which looks out
upon the plaza of st. Louis. This
great space, on one end of which is
set the beautiful Law Giver," and the
other punctuated by the great Louisi-
ana monument, is dotted by two band
stands and edged with flowers and
shrubbery- The sides are inclosed by
the great palaces of manufactures
and varied industries.
Noble Statuary.
In the great plaza of ST. Louis and
on the buildings surrounding it are
the noblest and most important groups
of exposition statuary. The very first
object to attract the eye on coming
into the plaza is the magnificent
Apotheosis of st. Louis" which is
Intended to express the welcome ST.

worlds fair was named, clad in armor
and flowing draperies is seated on a
great steed which starts forward as

gorgeous trappings cover even the
BODY of the horse and swing out in
The wind. Karl Bitter, exposition SUI
permtendent Of sculpture, SAYS this

within the gates which has so attracted

utes when an exhibit building is close
at hand. Many exhibitors provide
resting places for the tired pedestrians
and there is always seat in the cool
loggia about the exterior of the ex-
hibit palaces
There are old tones beneath glass
cases bent back so that the typogra ply
and matter both can be seen. There
are photographers of famous paintings
so nearly like the original that visit
orS rub their surfaces expecting to
feel paint. The exhibition of colored
Autographs occupies a succession of
walls and the heroic figures can be
distinguished from affair." The photo
graphs are at the top of the list in
excellence and number.
The reproductions of English
scenery, which from the reading Of
Thackeray and Dickens and Fielding,
are as fresh in our imaginations as if
we had seen them, may be counted
most interesting. Here some caricatur-

really more classical than otherwise.
The exterior facades are formed CT

The liberal arts building is painted
a dull cream, as are all the exposition
structures, and the roof, being quite
fiat, is hidden. The portals-there is
one at each corner and another in the
middle of each side-are particularly
gorgeous and majestic. Each door
way is built high above the surround
ing roof and the building therefore
has eight high towers of statuary and
vases above the regular, plain lines
of the top. Where statuary is not

portal to portal. A yellow dome has
been erected in the center of the roof

or. LOUIS, Mo-, May AT certain
hours of the day the approaches
~ and gates of the worlds fair in
st. Louis supply as much material for
observation as the great panorama in
side the gates. The rush of the great
crowds from the street cars, the hur-
ried jostling along the walk from the
car station to the gate and the inces-
SAINT straining of the throng through
the turnstiles can be compared only to
the driving of a flock of sheep. OFF,
Gals both of the transportation COM
panies and of the exposition have made
admirable arrangements for handling
the crowds. 1t is impossible, practi-
cally, to go astray Were it not for
bars on every hand, however. more

cisely in the wrong direction and be-

The street cars dump their patrons
a thousand yards from each gate. Sew
en- lines in the city run cars separated
by only a stones throw from one an
other and the Wabash road sends shut
tie trains from the Union station to a
great plaster terminal built just out
side the main gate. These long trains,

crowned the government building at
Buffalo. Probably the most represent
alive statue on the building is the
heroic figure of Liberal Arts executed
by Charles Y. Harvey This is a fe-
male figure with a nude torso and
draperies flung about her shoulders.
The face is that of a noble and
thoughtful woman; the hair is drawn
smoothly back from the brow. In one
hand the deity holds brush and with
the other presses vase against her
bosom which she is apparently about
to decorate.
The liberal arts, according to the dis
tinction of Col. ]. A. Ockerson, chief
of the division of liberal arts in

paper, models of public works and
architectural engineering.
Great Britain's Exhibit.
The first thing one encounters on
entering through the north door is the
graphic arts exhibit from Great Brit
ain. The exhibits are contained in
neat glass cases and the first sensa-
tionNis one of GOODNESS and absolute
rest. THE roof is so lofty, the fiat area
of the building so large, and the floor
space everywhere so well kept and
clean that>po exposition visitor should

visitor after entering the main gate,
is admirably designed for sculptural
effect. The "Apotheosis of ST. Louis
is well named, for it is designed to ex-
press the hospitality of the modern
city in the figure of him who first
bore the name that now concerns us
so much.
The other end of the plaza of st.
Louis, which is the point where the
architects designed the visitor to get
his firsteview of the great ensemble, is
marked by the Louisiana Purchase
monument. This piece bears a peculiar
local significance to the exposition as
the name tells. 1t is a great gray pill
lar 200 feet high crowned by the beau
tiful figure of Peace holding out the
olive branch to the nations of the
world. About the base of the monu-
ment-which is as broad as that of
a small building-are the figures of
Prosperity and Peace reclining amid
fruit and flowers. At night, by a GU
rious arrangement of the lights in the
interior of the monument, the white
feet and flying draperies of the Peace
on the columns summit are strongly
Illuminated.
