GROUNDS OF EXPOSITION
Eleven Thousand Yards Of Wire
Mesh and Barb, Covered With
Beautiful Foliage.

The Jamestown Exposition will
have most beautiful and novel fence
to enclose It's extensive grounds Tho
design Is Il departure from the old.
style high board fence. seen at for
mer cXpositions. The Jamestown
fence will be beautiful as well as use.
full. quality that was sadly lack
Ing ut the other cXposiiions.
Owing to the fact that the land,
scape feature of the jamestown celc.
bration Is 10 he one of the great al
fractions ut the Exposition, the idea
presented Itself to Mr.. Charles II.
Pratt, Superintendent of the grounds
that II would be an excellent plan to
Include the surrounding fence as one
OF the features of the landscape de-
sign thus giving the whole site the
appearance Of beautiful private
park such as might be seen sur
rounding some of the royal palaces
of foreign countries.
The fetal distance around the Ex.
position grounds is about 1000
feet, but tho site is so situated on
Scwell's Point that only about II 900
feet of fence had to be erected, the
waters of Hampton Roads making a
natural boundary for the remainder.
The fence, which is constructed of
wire mesh and heavy barb, is cover
ed with vines systematically planted
so as TO make an impenetrable bar
rier of beautiful foliage, giving the
effect of an enormous hedge. Tho
wire mesh, which is of the best quail
ity, is about five feet wide ccstin.
Sl30 n mile Above this mesh are
stretched three strands of heavy
barb, bringing the total height up to
seven feet. Surrounding the whole.
and stretched on cross beams at the
top of each post, are five more lines
of barbed wire, making the fence
most formidable barrier.
The vines for the fence were
planned in May of 1905, and as they
are native to the southern climate
they are already of very dense
growth At each post has been
planted trumpet vine. with marvel
ons success, and between each post
a crimson rambler rose bush has
been planted. Between the trumpet
vines and the rose bushes, honey
suckle has been trained, so that tho
entire fence will be covered with a
fragrant mass of Towering beauty.
