| ippines building, another of the gov
eminent group, faces it on the opposite
side and the beautiful Cascade Court
and Arctic Circle reach away in front,
| while through beautiful ornamental
gardens, Lake Union flashes its blue
waters.

| tects known, and their efforts have re-
| suited in perfection as near as can be

harmony for the surroundings, and the

lakes, Washington and Union, partly
surround the grounds and these waters

ing and various aquatic events. The
| government will show the latest models
