A VIEW OP THE COURT OP HONOR. A.-Y.-P. EXPOSITION. SEATTLE.
All of the principal buildings of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
sre grouped in close compass around the Cascades and Geyser Basin and
the flower beds which line each.
The picture shows a view from the lower aide of Geyser Basin, directly
up the Court of Honor. On the right are seen the Palace of Mannfac-
turee, the Oriental and Hawaiian Buildings. On the left are the Euro
pean Exhibits and Alaskan Buildings. In the far center is the Central
Government, which shows its incompleted front as it looked on April 15.
On that date this was the heaviest piece xof construction to be finished
before the opening day of the Exposition and the contractors estimated
that it would take them ten days to do the work.
Geyser Basin is in the foreground, and just beyond it show the steps

In the foreground of the picture is shown the bank which slopes up
from Geyser Basin at the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc Exposition, Seattle. Upon
it have been planted 300,000 tufted pansy plants, and close up to the
ballustrades high-growing plants of bright blossom.
Above Geyser Basin can be seen the banks of the Cascades, and around
these are growing 106,000 rose bushes, so selected that there will be a
rotation of blooms throughout the Exposition.
THE AUDITORIUM AT A.-Y.-P. EXPOSITION. SEATTLE.
Probably the most striking structure on the grounds of the Alaska-
Yukon-Paciflc Exposition is the Auditorium. It is budded of reinforced
concrete, steel and brick and is a part of the rich legacy which is to be
handed down to the State University when the Fair Is over.
The Auditorium stands Upon an eminence overlooking the main en
