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 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.

ings, affording an unusual opportunity for Americans to
study the work of some of the best artists of sunny Spain.

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. It is out of doors, the audience remaining at all times under the dome of tt

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.

reproduction of the original in North-
ern New Mexico. The Pueblo Indians
are living here exactly as they are at
home, busy with their pottery making,
basketry and blanket weaving.

JN "APACHE LAND" of this same exhibit
may be found the Apache Indians in their
Wickiups, the same as one would find them
on the Arizona reservations.

•yHE JAPANESE TEA PAVILION, next to the
•■■ Botanical Building, and surrounded with an ex-
quisite Japanese Garden, where always is the music
of trickling water and peculiar Oriental plants and
dwarf cedars and gold fish in the pool. An en-
chanted garden where dainty Japanese maids, in
their native costumes serve tea and cakes to resting
wayfarers.

cingly the wonderful de-
velopment and possibilities
of Canada. The accuracy
of the information given,
the comprehensive scope
of the displays, the mar-
velous attention to detail
and the effectiveness of
results obtained, put this
Exhibit in a class by itself.

a portion of the interior.
