A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PAN=AMERICAN EXPOSITION

<.^ ^ .wv«. .,». The word Pan-American comes from the Greek word "Pan," meaning " all, " and it expresses
/S'^^O , (iniirably the idea of an Exposition of All the Americas, the splendor of which, in many par

Iculars, has not been excelled by any exhibition in this country or abroad. A poet called the

superb aggregation of buildings and water-works and parks, "The Rainbow City of Light,"
but it has been finally christened "The Rainbow City," on account of the delicate coloring given
its hundreds of edifices, statues, etc.

Built upon a noble site, gemmed with shining lakes, grass-covered glades, inviting shade and
wealth of flora; many palaces of Spanish architecture, their walls, domes, towers and pavilions
aglow with numberless pleasing hues; a Plaza and an Esplanade, with stands for concerts to be
given by the finest bands in the world; sunken gardens filled with flowers and fountains, the water
taking the form of sheaves of wheat, roses and lilies; statuary everywhere; a grand canal en-
circling the larger buildings; a Triumphal Causeway over a mirror lake; exquisite horticultural
and floral embellishment of grounds; gondolas and electric launches upon the lakes and cana s, a
harmony of architectural, sculptural, electrical, horticultural and color effects; all this to illus-
trate the progress of the race during the Nineteenth Century. ^ ^ . t ^ .
The imposing character of some of the Exposition features is conveyed by these facts and
figures: Electric Tower, 409 feet high. Goddess of Light, above the to>A^er, 18 feet high. 94
searchlights in the basin of the Tower. 300,000 incandescent lamps used in the illumination;
upon the tower, 40,000; miles of wire used 400; weight of wire, 250 tons; area of courts,
1 390 000 square feet; 5,000 horse power from Niagara Falls for illumination. Water for fountain
display, 35,000 gallons per minute. Highest jets in the Court of Fountains, 50 feet Height of
cascade falling from Electric Tower, 70 feet; width, 30 feet. Basin of the Court of Fountains,
565 by 225 feet. 500 pieces of sculpture. 200,000 hardy perennials planted; 500 flower beds.

a crown of laurels precedes the horse.

leaning on the arm of a white-bearded notable and with his aid by his side. An exposition guard in the foreg.oand.

War Department Exhibit. — A favorite for visitors who delight in inspecting these enormous engines of destruction ; they are
especially interested in the maneuvers of the "quick disappearing " fortress guns which this picture shows.

Looking North from the Triumphal Causeway. — This is one of the royal sights of the Exposition, as tt^akes in the Grand
Basin, the many fountains, and the Esplanade up to the Electric Tower. This view only covers a small portion -of the great
whole.

Looking West from Among the State Buildings.— This vista is exquisite and gives one an idea of the interest shown by
leading States of the Union in the success of the Pan-American Exposition. Fourteen States ane Territories and ten foreign
dominions are represented on the grounds by special buildings.

The Plaza by Night.— Behind the Electric Tower is stretched the Plaza, which extends between one of the entrances to the
Midway, to the left, and the Stadium to the right. Here also the light effects are marvelously fine.

Court Between the rianufactures and Ethnological Buildings.— Here again are plants and statuary, inviting lawns and

useful benches. The floral beauty of the Exposition is due to the untiring eftorts of Mr. Rudolph Ulrich, the landscape artist

of the World's Fair.

The A. O. U. W. Building.— This handsome structure in the Spanish style of architecture, and with a second story open to

serve as a kind of roof garden, is sufficient evidence of the growth and wealth of this popular organization.

Attractions on the Midway. — The sights along this long winding avenue are not only amusing, but often highly instructive.
Fifty different nations are therein represented, either by natives or by admirable pictures, panoramas, etc.
