position beautiful, with immense
exhibit palaces, State and Govern

nent construction. The Audito-
rum and Convention Hall, one of
the principal buildings of the En-
position, is entirely complete and

along the water front of the Elk
position, are going up with re-
markable rapidity, those of Rhode
Island, New Jersey and Connect
cut, being ready for occupancy,
and those of Virginia, Maryland,
Massachusetts and Ohio, almost
as far advanced. The many at
fractions of the War Path, that
will correspond with the pike
or midway" of former EXPOSE
tons. presents a lively picture of
activity.
Push and progress are every
where in evidence and the work
on the grounds and general land
scape design, under the careful
supervision of the architects in
charge, together with the adj
vanced state of construction OF
the buildings, gives every assur-
ance that the jamestown Ter
Centennial Exposition will be
completed in every detail for the
opening date, April 26th, 1907.
