VISIONS OF ARCHITECTS COME TRUE AS VAST EXHIBIT PALACES RISE ON SHORES OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY

Whole World Will Be Represented at America's Eighty Million Dollar Panama Canal Celebration.

Wonderful progress has been attained in the superb Panama-Pacific In tarnation al Exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1916 to celebrate the ! opening of the Panama canal. Thousands of men are how at work upon the | exposition grounds and the plans of the great archltecta for the city of expo- \ sitlon palaces are more clearly revealed jhan they were by the first published : i designs and drawings. The huge main exhibit spction Is fast n earing comple- j tion and a world's record has been established in exposition building. ' Thousands of sightseers flock to the exposition grounds every Sunday and on holidays — visitors are not permitted during working hours because of th« j injury which might result to them. From the work already accomplished tht j visitor gains a vision of the exposition as It will appear when completed. ! Huge groups of statuary, executed by the world's most famous sculptors, . have been enlarged and may be seen ujion the exposition grounds. Hundreds - I of acres, once a vast barren waste, have been transformed into beautiful I park-like areas covered with green sward in which are being set thousands of | rare trees, plants and shrubs, converting the grounds into a semi-tropical j paradise. A wonderful color plan has been designed by Jules Guerin, world I famous decorative artist, and superb mural paintings to decorate the walla | and porticos of the vast expositor courts have reached San Francisco,' Several hundred thousand dollars bare been expended upon these paintings alone. In the opinion of notable authorities In world's expositions the PanamaPacific Internationa] Exposition has attained a greater degree of progress than that reached In any other formal world's exposition at a period so tar In advance of Its opening. Hundreds of great conventions and congresses, whose delegates will come from all parts of the world, will meet In San Francisco during the exposition year. A wonderful display of the exhibits from all parts of the world Is assured. At this writing thirty-one of the nations have officially accepted the Invitation of the United States to take part In the exposition. Construction has begun upon the foreign pavilions and upon the concessions section. The conceeslons district will be one of the most marvelous features of the exposition grounds, entailing an expenditure of more than 810,000,000. In the estimate of the comptroller, the exposition will involve an expenditure of eighty million dollars np to its opening day The opening ceremonies of the exposition will be In peculiar accord with its international character. President Wilson's Invitation to the nations to be represented with detachments of their battleship fleets as the official celebration has met with an enthusiastic response; it is believed that more than two hundred battleships will be assembled at Hampton Roads, off the West Virginia coast, late in 1814. This magnificent fleet, the most formtdabTe array of naval wamaft ever gathered together and representing, the pick of the fighting strength of the world's navies, will- proceed from Hampton Roads through the Panama /canal, gathering in the Caribbean sea In time for the | formal opening of the Panama canal on January 1st, 1916; thence the fleet ! will proceed to the Golden Gate, assembling off the site of the exposition, j which opens on February 21, 1916. The dramatic passage of the fleet can be easily imagined. The eyes of | the whole world will be upon this vast array of battleships as they steam to j the scene of America's brilliant Panama canal celekration.
