Un the extreme right of the picture a por- 

 tion of the east front and one of the towers 

 of the Electrical Building are visible. Be- 

 yond and opposite the Building across the 

 basis is seen part of the palace of Machin- 

 ery, its eastern facade crowned with domes 

 and towers. 



On the extreme left is seen a corner of 

 the west front of the Manufacturers' 

 Building, and opposite this and across the 

 basin the building for the agricultural ex- 

 hibit. This building is connected with 

 the palace of Machinery by the long col- 

 onnade in the center background, form- 

 ing a great portico entrance to the live 

 stock grounds farther south, and at the 

 same time completing the monumental 

 group on the south of the great basis. A 

 triple arch bridge spans the lagoon in the 

 foreground, affording communication be- 

 tween the Electrical and Manufacturers' 

 buildings. It is only one of manv such 



are most thickly clustered; where distances 

 are at the minimum, and where the per- 

 spective is the least extended. Picture 

 then the grand scale on which the scheme 

 is being worked out; the care and attention 

 that has been given to produce imposing 

 effects and magnificent vistas, and the en- 

 ticement offered to architects and artists 

 to create masterpieces. Surely the plan is 

 incomparable, and its culmination will 

 close an epoch in the history of art.

The brooks leaped up to catch it. 



And the breezes held their breath: 

 The lilies sprang up boldly 



And shook their heads at death. 

 The roses blushed to crimson 



At the kisses of the rain. 

 And the sun looked out and saw it 



With a flush of jealous pain.

 of the grounds. 



Notice to the right or the left the man- 

 ner of terracing. From the water rises a 

 sea wall whose coping guards access to the 

 first terrace. In this wall gates and jet- 

 ties will be arranged so that landings can 

 be effected from the small boats of the 

 park. This first terrace is the domain of 

 the landscape gardener, and will be devoted 

 to flowers, shrubbery and gravel walks. 

 Some four feet above this terrace is the 

 great paved platform serving as a base to 

 the buildings. This platform is finished 

 with balustrades, vases and statuary, and 

 approach to it from the first terrace is 

 gained at intervals by monumental flights 

 of steos. 



This view, looking as it does down the 

 lagoon toward the great basin, represents 

 a part of the grounds where the buildings 



'When Writing a letter be sure 

 to sign it. Too often we get letters 

 with the name of the post-office, but no 

 County or State. One such came 

 recently, and we looked into the Postal 

 Guide and found there were places by 

 that name in 13 States. That order for 

 goods will have to wait until another 

 letter comes to give the proper address. 

 Be sure to stamp your letter, or it may 

 go to the dead letter office.
