EXPOSITION NEARING COM

Bnlldlnga'And Ground Will Make An
Attracttrc; Exposition City.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 29 On tb
southern shores of historic Hamp
ton Roads, eight miles from the City
of Norfolk, the Jamestown Ter
centennial Exposition is rapidly
nearing completion. Every depart
ment of the work is being carried
on with marvelous speed, and what
was only a year age, an attractively
laid out park, has become an Expo
sition beautiful, with immense ex
hibit palaces.
State and Government buildings,
all under roof, and for the most
part of permanent constrnction.
The Auditorium and Convention
Hall, one of the principal buildings
of the Exposition, is entirely com
plete and is being nsed temporarily
for the offices of the Governor of
Works, of the Exposition, and bis
able corps of assistants, who are
carrying on the work with such
credit.
"The State's exhibit Palace, the
largest and most imposing structure
on the grounds containing more
than 350,000 Equare feet of exhibit
space, is also complete, and will be
turned over by the contractors in a
few days to the Exposition Com
pany, at which time the installation
of the various exhibits of the resour
ces of the different States will be
gin.
The Commercial pier of the Ex
position extending on; into il;tm;i
ton Roads for a distance of some
2,000 feet was finished several Weena
ago, and is now being used to bring
in the constructiju material for t.ie
many buildings now in the cuirer
of erection. The various St.HU

attraction of the War Path, that
will correspond with the "Pike" or
"Midway" of former Expositions,
present a lively picture of activity.
Push and progress are every whrre
in evidence and the work on the
grounds and general laud scape de
sign, under the caieful supervision
of the architects in charge, together
with the advanced state of construc
tion of the buildings, gives every as
surance that the Jamestown Ter
centennial Exposition will be com
pleted iu every detail, for the open
