Probably the most striking structure oa the grounds of the Alaska-
Yukon-Paciflc Exposition Is ttoe Auditorium. It is bulldcd of reinforced
concrete, steel and brick and <s a part of the rich legacy which is to be
banded down to the State University when the Fair is over.
The Auditorium stands upon an eminence overlooking the main en­
trance to the Exposition Grounds. It if, now in use as a lecture room
by the University Law School an d for all assemblys of students. It has
a seating capacity of closo to 300 0, which can be greatly Increased.

rush of waves mountain high swept ov r
Galveston’s new sea wall, Wednesday
morning.
Two spans of the railroad bridge,
connecting the city with the mainland

It will be impossible to ascertain the
extent of the damage until the storm
subsides.
