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.

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.

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.

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. Tha A|frlflaUofil llokldluff. 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.

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.
