Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. 



Orient and Occident Send Complete Exhibits "Pay Streak" Calls for Huge 

 Expenditures Special Music by Manila Constabulary Band. 



The installation of exhibits in the buildings of the 

 Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition, the work of an army 

 of laborers and experts for nearly twelve months, was 

 fully completed on June 1. 



In interesting European countries in the exposition, Sr. 

 Carlo Marchetti has devoted the past year to work on the 

 continent, and his efforts have resulted in complete displays 

 from every nation of Europe. In housing these exhibits it 

 has been necessary to increase the original space prepared for 

 foreign exhibitors. 



In elaborateness, the displays of the territories of Alaska 

 and Hawaii surpass all expectations. The two buildings rep- 

 resenting these countries are a part of the government group, 

 and have been especially designed for the requirements of 

 the territories. 



The Live Stock Show will be held on the exposition 

 grounds from September 27th to October 9th, and this event 

 has drawn entries from all parts of the United States and 

 Canada. 



Individual state, national, civic and county days will be 

 held on set dates during the fair, and in each of these pro- 

 grams will be arranged with special reference to the occa- 

 sion. 



The musical features will be an attractive part of the 

 exposition, and during the season the very finest musical or- 

 ganizations of the United States will be heard. Innes, Liberatti's 

 and Ellery's bands will divide the time, and at various dates 

 other noted bands will be heard in concert and regular per- 

 formances. Among these will be the Constabulary Band of 

 Manila and the Mexican National Band.

The Oriental consignments of exhibit material are ready 

 for viewing, and all state, county and civic buildings are oc- 

 cupied. In the Pay Streak attractions $1,500,000 have been 

 invested, and among its amusement novelties are numbered 

 the very finest and elaborate spectacular events produced. 



For athletic events, the Stadium has been built on the 

 shores of Lake Washington, with a seating capacity of twenty 

 thousand spectators. The formal gardens, lawns, parks and 

 shrubbery planting were entirely finished on the first of April, 

 and present a magnificent appearance. The lake water front 

 has a number of boat landings for lake steamers, and facili- 

 ties for yachts, canoes and all pleasure craft are ample and 

 complete. 



The summer weather of Puget Sound is ideal; the ex- 

 treme heat of the middle and eastern states is not expe- 

 rienced in the northwest, and the rainfall is not excessive. 

 No country of the world offers superior attractions to the 

 sportsman than does the territory about Seattle. The trout 

 and salmon fishing is open throughout the spring, summer 

 and fall, and none of the streams are restricted. Within two 

 hours' distance of the city some of the very best fishing 

 rivers are met with, and in the waters of Lakes Washington 

 and Union trout and bass are taken in number. 



For side trips and outing excursions, Puget Sound, with 

 its hundreds of bays, rivers and summer resorts, cannot be 

 equalled. Mountain climbing, yachting, canoeing and camp-
