Across "El Puentb Cabbillo" Looking East toward the Arch of thb Ocean
pROM the bridge an ex- •■• cellent general view of the Exposition Grounds is had, with the California Building and Tower, in the immediate foreground.
""The smaller view is from below and gives an idea of the massiveness of the structure, which is 135 feet in height, 1010 feet in length and of unit cantilever construction.
The Facade of the California Building
THE PRADO, A WEST FROM PLAZA DE PAN- AMA, with the Sci- ence and Education Building in the fore- ground and the Tower and Dome of the California Build- ing in the distance, showing also the arched passage to the Plaza de California, known as the Prado Gate.
THE CLOISTERED ARCHWAY OF THE A CALIFORNIA QUADRANGLE, looking across the Plaza de California to the entrance of the Fine Arts Building. These arched cor- ridors are a pleasing feature of the exposition. There is a net work of them about the grounds, cormecting the principal buildings. They are bordered with flowers and the archways fes- tooned with vines, and as the walks are always cool and seats plentiful a siesta in them is a delightful memory.

THE GREAT ORGAN, as the out-of-doors pipe organ is frequently called, the gift of Joo [ Fair. Its sweet toned melody can be heard in all parts of the Grounds and the Daily 'tjc United States.

HTHE PATIO OF THE NEW MEXICO BUILD- ■*■ ING, which is a reproduction of the Franciscan Mission erected in 1 629 A. D. on the Rock at Acoma, in western New Mexico. It is the only ecclesias- tical structure which survived the Pueblo Rebellion of A. D. 1680. The reproduction of the Old Church has been done with such fidelity of detail, even to the log rafters and the quaint fireplaces and the chapel itself, that one feels the spell of the original; something of an involuntary veneration which is noted in the presence of things that are old. It is a very satisfactory Building.
