The ceremonies at the grounds con sisted, first, of a grand flight of carrier pigeons freed on the Esplanade and conveying the news of the dedication of the Exposition to the world.

Benediction by the Right Ree. William D. Walker, bishop of western New York. At noon there was an exhibition of scientific kiteflying by Mr. E. I. II ors- man. scientific kite expert of New York, and his staff of kitefliers. This consisted of tandem kites and Eddy war kites, suspending the American flag and discharging American flags In the form of parachutes, others sup porting a great banner bearing the word Welcome." with others bearing different flags and streamers at various heights. There were also flown tan dems of naval block kites and keel kites with flags and a tandem of yacht or ship kites. At the close of the ceremonies in the Temple of Music there was a great dis play of day fireworks. Including a grand salute of 125 aerial guns fired from steel mortars, the ascent of 27 large 12 foot gas balloons, each letter ed with the name of one of the Pan- American countries and carrying the flag of the country; salute to the states, 40 mammoth cannon report rockets. one for each state of the Union, fired ftimultaneously: magnificent display of Japanese daylight fireworks, released In midair from Japanese 1mmii1s; orien tal kite display, exhibiting 150 kites, from which will be displayed Tan- American flags and the New York State flag; daylight bomb cloud shells, setting free American and l'an-Auierican flags, with souvenirs of the dedication day; simultaneous discharge of 1.000 small gas balloons, sent up in triplets, each bearing a souvenir of the dedication day; grand American salute, consist lug of 500 large gun cotton rockets. The completed Exposition Is a dis tinct triumph in countless ways. Nev er before has there been such an ef fort put forth to produce rich decora tive effects. These are to be seen in the symmetrical arrangement of the buildings around spacious courts, the glow of color upon all the buildings, the play of fountains and cascades, the profusion of blossoming flowers, the generous use of intricate molded orna ments upon the buildings, the great number of sculptured groups by fa mous American sculptors and at night the softly diffused yet brilliant lighting effects produced by means of more than COO.000 incandescent electric lamps upon buildings and throughout the grounds. The grounds of the Exposition com prise some 350 acres, very accessible by steam and electric lines from all parts of BtTalo. "When It Is recalled that it was only the 4th day of last June that the first piece of timber was raised aloft as the beginning of what Is now a magnificent Exposition city, one can but marvel at the executive force which has brought this work to, its present state of completeness. The cost of the Exposition as It now appears is approximately 110,000,000, exclusive of exhibits. Of this sum the Midway represents an expenditure of about $.1,000,000. Nothing seems to have been forgotten In perfecting the plan, and there Is every convenience for the visitor and an abundance for him to examine and enjoy. The admis sion price is the same as usual at expo sitions, half a dollar, but it entitles one to a full day at the most beautiful fes tival of the kind that has ever been brought into existence.. No pen will be so presumptuous as to attempt to describe the architectural and color beauty of the Tan-American Exposi tion. It Is a magnificent, an extrava gant, dream brought to a harmonious and beautiful realization. The triumph of the architect, the colorlst. the land scape architect, the sculptor and the electrician Is complete. There are about 150 buildings In the Exposition plot, -of all sizes and de scriptions, aud an abundance for every one to see, no matter bow long he may choose to remain. The most novel ex hibits perhaps are to be found In the Electricity building, for In that partic ular science wonderful strides have been made within the last few years. Notably among these Is the transform er plant, where 5,000 horsepower Is re ceived from Niagara Falls by cable at a pressure of 11,000 volts and stepped down to 1,800 volts. This power Is used for lighting the vast Exposition area. A daylight brilliancy will per vade the Exposition until 11 o'clock each night. The exhibit of Street Rail way Appliances is also of a Y.ery com plete and Interesting character. The exhibit made by Thomas A. Edison showing the development of many of his Important Inventions, constitutes another attractive feature. Demobstra tlons are to be made of Wireless Te legraphy and the X Rays. In the cen ter of the Machinery and Transporta tion building Is a working exhibit of large number of Tumping Engines. These supply the water for the Tarlous fountain features of the Exposition Among these water displays is a cas cade lu the southern face of the Elec tric Tower, from which there Is a flow of S5.0O0 gallons of water per minute. making a beautiful veillike cataract 70 feet high. Upon this cataract electric lights of many colors will be thrown from an Invisible source, producing an enchanting picture. One of the most Imposing buildings of the Exposition Is the great Stadium This Is more thau CO feet high and is so large as to Inclose a quarter mile track. The seats are arranged in the form of a vast amphitheater, and the capacity Is sufficient for 12.000 specta tors. This Is to be the scene of very Interesting events daily throughout the Exposition. The Midway Is said to bo the great est that has ever been organized for any exposition. The Midway proper PRESIDENT JOHX O. M1LBURX. is 3.000 feet long, thus giving more than a mile of frontage upon this sin gular thoroughfare. There are about 40 shows, eiery one of them possess ing special merit and selected from a large number offered. There has been great rivalry among show people to Been re space upon the Midway, and It has been allotted with great care and with the positive assurance that every feature would be of a character to com mand popular Interest. It may be said of the whole Expo sition that In every department it is a compact yet complete presentation of Twentieth Century civilization of the Western World. HARD TO PURCHASt. the The recnliar Tted Ribbon of French Leeion of Honor. The iieculiar red ribbon which mem bers of the Iegion of Honor of I'rance are entitled to wear is to In; bad In New York at one establishment, which is naturally sought out by Americans honored with this decoration. But they never have the satisfaction of get ting the ribbon until the firm that has the exclusive falo of it has received official notice that the persons applying have the right to display it. "I know It, said one of the clerks the other day to a would be purchaser of the ribbon. "I know that you are a member of the legion and have a right to buy the ribbon, because I read your name In the paper and know who you are. But we have not received official notification of your appointment and you have not your diploma. So I could not sell you any of it. "We bad to make this rule first be cause the French government required it of us when we received the agency, but we also realize the necessity of it. All kinds of persons who have no right to this ribbon try to get bold of it. All of them pretend when they find that we sell it only to persons entitled to wear It cither that they are memlwrs of the legion or that they are buying It on behalf of persons who do belong to the order. The ribbon is not like any other, and we know that if any of this ribbon Is bought in New York that It comes from us. For that reason we are particular to the extent of requiring documentary proof from every appli cant unless we have received official notification of his right to wear it-" New York Sun.
