each capable of accommodating 1000
people will serve as theaters. A large
structure has been erected for an ex-
hibition hall and bazaar, where Chin
ese-made wares and curios may be
exhibited and sold. Bordering on
the circle nearly opposite the offic-

the fireworks are being exhibited, the
men on board the vessels in the har-

possible, the American and Chinese
colors only have been used.

ward making the exhibitions credit
to their country and a pleasure to
their American visitors.
