late expositions, namely, a wood frame, covered with staff, the whole surmounted by red and green tile effects.

In the immediate forefront of the en- trance, after passing the turnstiles, is a long curved peristyle of a double row of Ionic columns, through which a mystic glimpse is caught of the broad middle plaza, with the waterway, peninsula, the Government buildings, and distant pano- rama, beyond.

Flanking the white peristyle, on the left, is the two-storied Administration Building, with the press annex, while on the right are the post office and the police and fire stations.

Leaving the classic peristyle of the en- trance, the broad, long vista breaks into view. The immediate foreground being occupied by the spacious Concourse Plaza, with the Palace of Agriculture to the right and the Foreign Exhibits Building to the left. The open space between is desig- nated ]\Iiddle Plaza, and consists of two broad avenues with sunken gardens be- tween. Dividing the sunken gardens is a simple Italian fountain.

The Agricultural Building is devoted to the exhibits of the various states of the West and the Northwest. It is typically Spanish in character, with broad wall sur- faces, richly ornamented window penetra- tions and broad, overhanging, heavily

bracketed eaves. Surmounting the whole rises a majestic dome, conspicuouosly marking the building from all parts of the grounds.

The Foreign Exhibits Building, directly opposite the foregoing building, while of the same length, is of but half the width. Still keeping the broad wall spaces of the Spaniard, this building has an individual- ity of its own. In place of the dome, a number of small towers rise from the cen- ter of the facade to emphasize its quiet dignity. The central portion of the roof is devoted to a large roof garden, whence magnificent views may be had of the grounds and the grand panorama of the valley.

To the west of the Foreign Exhibits Building, on a slightly elevated position, is placed a building devoted to the Orien- tal exhibits. This building, while some- what smaller than its neighbor, is yet ca- pable of housing the exhibits of many for- eign countries, without counting the com- modious galleries. The style of architec- ture is somewhat more classic than that of the two buildings previously men- tioned, but is none the less interesting.

East of the Agricultural Building is a building of equal size, devoted to Manu- factures, Liberal Arts, and Varied Indus- tries.
