EXT spring the city of Buffalo
will throw open to the world the
gates of an exposition which will
go far toward making Buffalo famous
for something else besides the Niagara
Vails. For two years artists, landscape
gardeners, architects and public-spirit
ed citizens have labored with but one
point of view, to make the Fan-Ameri
can exposition of 1901 a show notable
among the minor expositions of the
country. It will not be of a class with
the Chicago World’s Fair, for to that
stupendous exposition all the civilized
world contributed its share. Indeed, the
very name of the Buffalo exposition
signifies that it is not a world’s fair,
but an exhibition of the products and
progress of all America. Canada, Mexi
co and the States of Central America
will vie with manufacturers and pro
ducers of the United States In the com
petition for medals and diplomas, and
the exposition will serve to bind still
closer together the peoples of this con
tinent.

American

authorities
•mount to $5,890,000 and with this
sum a splendid exposition should be as
sured. The government appropriated
$500,000 for the government exhibit,
the State of New’ York added $300,000
and in addition there is an authorized
capital of $2,500,000 and an authorized
bond Issue of the same amount.
In June, 1899, the national govern
ment, through the Department of State
at Washington, issued invitations to
the foreign nations of the western hem
isphere to participate in the exposition.
Official acceptances have already been
received from Canada, Mexico, Hon
duras, Nicaragua, Salvador, Guate
mala, Guadaloupe, Dutch Guiana, Bo
livia, Argentine Republic and Chili. In
official assurances have been received
that the other South American coun
tries will accept the invitation as soon
as the necessary forms o f legislative
sanction have been complied with.

The exposition grounds include 350
acres, of which 133 acres are Improved
park lands, a part of Delaware park.
The grounds are about one mile from
north to south and a half mile from
east to west. Tlielr situation Is In the
northern part of the city, accessible
from every direction. The park lunds
form the southern part of the extensive
grounds and are pronounced by expert
landscape architects to be among the
most beautiful in the world. The trees
and shrubbery In wonderful variety,
the romantic footpaths leading in all
directions among the thick foliage, the
loveliest of lakes, on whose surface
numberless swans and other water
fowl of immaculate plumage are con
stantly at sport, the wide reaches of
lawn and the rich embroidery of flow
ers everywhere to be seen all combine
to refresh and restore the mind of him
who tarries within these delectable pre
cincts.
