'Xenesee*4 ISirtlidur.
The Inspiration of Tennessee’s great
exposition, now formally opened to the
public with appropriate oeremonies, is
embodied in the speech of President
Thornes above quoted. It has been the
custom of kings and emperors to com
memorate thsir achievements by massive
piles of granite or polished marble shaft;
Byron says * ‘old Cheops built a pyramid
to keep liis mem’ry whole and mammy
hid.” It is fitting that a great com
monwealth should celebrate its first
birthday by an exhibit of its material
resources so displayed as to reveal th
culture that ij reached only in the high
est civilisation.
The Tennessee Centennial exposition
b a 3 beau fortunate in its selection of
the designs and names of many of its
buildings. It w.is a suhisot of unfavor
able comment that Atlanta copied CfTtf
cago so closely in the names of her
buildings. Nashville has bsen more
original. Reproductions of the Parthe
non, the ITeohtheon. the Tower of B ta
el, tha Rialto,-and Cheops pyramid give
a ljixt of f.:a classio taste that has pre
vailed in providing buildings for an ex
position of material things.
Now that the gates have been thrown
opou to the world, and the great enter
prise auspiciously launched, people are
beginning to nsk themsi Ives- two lead
ing questions; (1) What is there to
sse? (3) What does it cost? To which
the faithful chronicler must make an
satsigar* Almost averytUiu'd almost auv
thing. You can ail you 'nave eyes
and time to see; it will cost you any
thing you please.
Mr. Ghtries E. Harman of Atlanta,
general passenger agent of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, witnessed the
opening ceremonies.
Air. Harman was ad rector in the
Oottou States and International *ri* -
tion at Atlanta, un i therefoie v
the Tennessee Centennial buildings and
grounds, in comparison with the build
ings aud ground- of tlie exposition at
Atlanta. He admits the grounds anil
buildings are finer than the ground*
and buddings at At.anta. but c.aims
the general nioturesq* effect of the At
lanta grou.ds was greater than the
effect at Nashville.
Tlie build ugs are nil eove-ed with
■white staff aud are archi.octurally
beautiful.
Ho says the Parthenon is the most
bountiful budding lie has ever seen iu
the United States, with the ex ’option
of the new Library building at Wash
ington, D. 0.
O roll ml 4 i*X Building*.
Before beginning a tour of the build
ings a glance at the whole cannot L-ut
be interesting.
The grounds selected consist of 209
acres lying iu the western portion of
the city and were formerly known as
West Side purk. They can bo reached
by three lines of electric and one of
steam cars. By sued means ths trip to
the fair can be made from the hotels
and business portion i of tho city in 8
miuutes, or tlie distance may he cov
ered on foot, through tha residential
part of the city in 39 minutes.
The grounds have been so improved
as to make them most attractive and
suitable for exposition purposes. The
artificial lakes, arbors and pavilions, to
gether with the grouping of tho build
ings, present au aspect that is wonder
fully pleasing. When the millions of
plants and flowers shall lend their
beauty aud fragrance to the sc3ua it
Will be truly enchanting.
Ths wuiu baildiugß of the exposition
are 15 in number, and the exhibits nave
been uivided into 15 specific classes.
The building* are covered with staff,
and tha White City of Chicago, that
has lingered so long In the memory
with the gorgeonme*3 *>f a droam. will
have a rival in another White City ‘not
has ' iseii on the banks of the Cumber
land to charm for a brief season the
vision of hundreds of thousands.
Et'i bit of Kino Arts.
Tho lnrgest ami raoß club irate build
iti" is the Parthenon. It is the center
piece of the exposition and is an exact
reproduction or the Parthenon at
Athens. The naves are in the shape cf
tins great Greek crosses, forming a
square gallery at either end aad two
apartments, or alcoves, in the center.
A t those oads hroa I doors open oat upon
the double columned porticoes. There
ere no waa tows in tho building. The
light furnished corn's from the roof,
which is, in fu.t, oua long wi.ii.ovy, cr
skylight, of itself.
Tina building i3 the only ouo not con
structed with stall. It is built of brick
and is entirely fireproof, as it is the re
pository of priceless treasures. Directly
tn front of this building stands the col
lossai figure of Pallas Athene, by Miss
iSutil Yandpil, a daughter of the late
Dr. L. P. Yarnie.i of Louisville, who
was a Tennesseean. Tito figure is au
exact reproduction of toe one that
crowned the hill of Athou3. This copy
is 25 feet high, a though tho original
was 70 feet. Standing, as it does, iu
front of the tn-tin e.utra ice o the P.v.’-
taeuon, it occupies, without a doebt, i he
finest position in the park. The statue
vras made in Paris and recently shipp'd,
es Miss Yarns!! his been pursuing her
Itudies abroad for the past two years.
The Parthenon is appropriately de
voted exclusively to the line arts. Peo
ple who love pictures (a id who does
not?) will l>e pleased to know that the
art exhibit is oua of the finest over seen
in the south, the m tj >rity of the can
vasses being well worthy of a place un
der the classic dome that shelters them,
lluny of the >ld m isters are represented,
as wed as the modern painters of this
country ami abroad, who hays distin
guished themselves. Here may be seen
pictures by Raphael, Oorregio, Titian,
Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Mur.ilo; and o?
later date Ha gust, Jlussonier, Troyou,
Corot and ot tiers.
Whether the art exhibit has been pre
pared with a special view to attracting
the teachers ot the s >urh, whoso vaca
tions Will occur during the exposition
I do uat know: this much is certain,
that thousands of them have already
turned their eyes towards the Parthe
non, aad that the resorts they usually
honor with their presence will miss
them this summer.
The hanging of the pictures was di
rented by Mr. Loon Roecker of Chicago
who is in charge of tho ooUeotiou. Air.

Iho Auditor I u in.
Ju-t couth of the Parthenon and with
in easy reach of the main entrance is the
Auditorium, which is one of the mod
impressive buildings on t!> grounds.
The intention is to nso it for the meet
iugs of large bodies. Many conven
tions which are to be held by various
societies havr determined to take ad
vantage of the opportunity to attend
tho exposition, mid their sossi-ms will
be held iu tae Auditorium. It is also
proposed to hold par.iaments simi-ar to
those he'd in Chicago during the
World’s Pair. The capacity of the
building is aoout 7,C00 people. Tue de
sign is colonial iu form aud Imho in
treatment. Four porticoes, facing the
different points of the compass, give
tha fl >nr a shape resembling a short
cross, except for the circulur colonnades
connecting at each corner, forming a
desirable promenade aud restful place
for weary sightseers, walla the roof
furnishes a beautiful balcony, which
cot c ily adds to the charm of the de
sign. bat in addition affords a vantage
point for vie ving outdoor displays aud
pageants. The interior dimensions are
899 by 110 feet. Tho tower is 119 fast
high.

columns each, crowned by gable* sculp

signs. It is 63 feet to the top of Uie
roof. Tae u rth end of the structure
borders on the lake.
Transportation Bullillnjj.
Between the Commerce and Agri
cultural bail iugs. west of the Parthe
non, is the Transportation building. On
one side of it lies Lake Watauga, and
on tho other is a long, shady avenue.
The dimensions of this building are 400
by 120 feet. Railroad tracks have been
laid through it, with entrances from
tho north for engine* aud trains. The
remainder of the floor space is divided
into blocks of different sizes for the re
ception of smaller vehicles and other
displays. Simplicity is the feature of
the design selected for tha Transporta
tion bail Jin;. A most pleasing effect
has been obtained without the use of
a single oo.u an, merely in the group
ing of tiie masses and proper propor
tioning. AU structural ornamentation
is in the most refined classical style,
brought into strong relief by the wall
gervioe, to which it lends beauty iu
charm in return.

One of thi finest bnildings on the
grounds is the Agricultural building,
on a sloping elevation north of lake
Watauga The priucips 1 dome rises 103
fe3t at the center, and with six smaller
domes, appropriately placed, the pro
portions apt-ear especially pleasing.
The stylo of architecture is renaissance,
and tha dimensions are 515 by 175 foe'.
Tiie principal doors, front and rear, are
under arch e feats, white the end and
entrances pass through porticoes. Glass
is used in the domes, au l thus the light
on the exhibits will bo strong and thor
oughly diffnsoA. The staff on the exte
rior lends a charm and brilliancy to
the design that would not otherwise
have been secured, and the ornaments
tion and stis nary, especially ov-sr the
south door, are handsome.
The state of Tennessee will place its
exhibit under the magnificent dome, a
epaci iui pla-e. By the way, the visi
tois must look up here, for the dome
is strikingb daoorated. The effects,
wrought with grains, are wonderful
Messrs. Allison, the chief, and J. Tay
lor Stratton, the assistant chief, have n
department to make them feel proud.
Tennessee is one of the great agricult
ural states of the south and it is only
proper that the farmi should take a
leading place in this exposition. There
wili be fine displays of fruits, grains,
cotton, tobacco and grass ii a i lor the
dome. Liberal prizes are off iro.l by tha
department. Tiio people of Davidson,

many visitors will be ths outfit of a

Another building that deserves tnoro
than passing mention is the Negro
building, which is situated oa tha east
*idc of Like Walau ra. It is a massive
end imposing structure, constructed
with a view of aooommolatiug thi vast
variety of exhibits whioh the negro race
will contribute. Its contents, showing
specimens of wo-k done by the negro in
*ll the walks ov life, will tell a great
story of moral and mental progress In
the last 50 years. The negroes of the
south bare the greatest opportunity
ever offered them to exhibit the history
of the past and ths hopes and possibili
ties of the fu-:ura.

of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo

that it can easily be taken in
summer when Cod-liver Oil oe
even ordinary foods might repel.
