Incomplete, erroneous, misleading and cumbrous as the many volumes of Guides to the World's Fair are, the intelligent visitor who wants to see the wonders of the **White City" will decline to carry half a pound of learned lucubrations even if it bears the imprint of a widely known firm or the authenticating (?) autograph of the President of the World's Fair Directors. The Nut Shell Guide will not only satisfy but delight the busy intelligent visitor who wants value and not a name for his money. It is just what its name imports. — A Guide in a Nut Shell — and a good Guide at that. It is 7nore than its name imports, for it furnishes an authentic and reliable map of the Fair Grounds proper, a separate and reliable map of the Midway Plaisance and Ground plans and Notable^ Exhibits in all the principal Buildings. The Nut Shell was not prophetically written, weeks before the World's Fair began. Not a line of the Nut Shell was placed on paper until July 4th when the great and completed World's Fair delighted 300,000 people. The Nut Shell was written and compiled by two experienced Literary men whose ex- perience is detailed on the title page. They have been continuously engaged on the Exposition Grounds for nearly 18 months. The Nut Shell is reliable and authentic, and above all, moderate in price. Stuart C. Wade. July 24TH, 1893. W. S. Wrenn. HOW TO LOCATE THE EXHIBITS. '*So many men, so many opinions*' wrote a sage of long ago and never was the adage more applicable than in relation to the World's Columbian Exposition. Ninety-nine visitors will conceive an equal number of short cuts to see the Fair. Confusion and dissatisfac- tion are inevitable results. If the reader of the Nutshell desires to see the Fair in the shortest time and in the most thoroughly satis- factory manner, he will follow the routes, laid down, and follow them exactly. It is in no case of '-the blind leading the blind'' as his guides have daily been exploring the Fair Grounds for the past sixteen months. If the reader of the Nutshell, therefore enters the Mines Building by the south entrance as directed on page 18 he will find the Notable Exhibits ranged in order and in the order set out in the Nutshell. Suppose desires to see the exhibit of Michigan. It is marked 14 in the Nutshell. Turning to the diagram and ground plan on page 19 the visitor finds this number located in the center of building and can at once proceed to the desired exhibit. Pursue this method and each prin- cipal exhibit will pass before the visitor's eye, systemat- ically and in order.

Located at Chicago by an act of Congress (approved April 25th, 1890) it cost upwards of $33,000,000 and is situated in Jackson Parli and Midway Plaisance, com- prising over 700 acres within its fences. It has a front- age of one and a half miles on Lake Michigan, while the Plaisance forming the connecting link between Jackson and Washington Parks is about one mile long and 600 feet wide. The landscape arrangements and architectural groupings excel by far all previous at- tempts at any other exposition. Eighty-six nations, colonies and principalities are represented and no less than sixteen nations have erected special governmental build- ings. Tt is estimated that not less than §6,000,000 have been expended for buildings, booths, pavilions, etc., and that goods valued a,t $75,000,000 are placed on exhi- bition by the foreign powers alone. The main buildings erected by the Exposition are as follows: Administration, Machinery, Agricultural, Manufactures, Electricitj', Mining, Transportation. Woman's, Fine Arts, Fisheries, Horticultural, Live Stock Pavilion, Terminal Station, Choral, Forestry, Dairy, Shoe and Leather, Anthropological, Music Hall and Casino with connecting Peristyle, these added to the many foreign and state buildings, together with the scores of pavilions, booths, etc., erected by concession- aires form a grand total of over three hundred separate structures under roof inside the boundary lines of Jack- son Park. HOW TO REACH THE FAIR Visitors may have their choice of six different methods by which the Exposition Grounds can be reached. 1. The Illinois Central By. Trains leave platforms on the east side of the Van Buren street viaduct, every two minutes during the day. These trains stop only at Midway Plaisance, 63rd street and the Terminal Rail- road station, the latter being inside the grounds and at the western end of the Grand Court. The fare is 10 cents each way. 2. The Alley Elevated R. R, Its trains reach Jackson Park in thirty-live minutes. The down town station is located on Congress street near the Auditorium Hotel. Passengers are landed at the exposition station over the Transportation building annex. Fare, 5 cents.. 3. The Steamboat Line, consisting of twenty-five fine vessels. Boats leave the Van Buren street wharf everj^ ten minutes, making the trip in forty-five minutes and landing passengers on the Columbian Pier near the Manufactures building. Bound trip tickets 25 cents, single tickets 15 cents. 4. The Cable Railway consisting of two lines; the Cottage Grove cars running southward on Wabash and Cottage Grove avenues, and landing passengers at South Park station, two blocks from 57th street entrance. The State street cars, South on State to 61st street, where a transfer is given on the electric line running east within one block of the 60th street entrance. Fare, 5 cents. 5. By Tally-ho Coach or Carriage following the ex- tensive boulevard system and entering the Fair Grounds from r)6th street and Cornell Avenue. 6. By Raihvay Trains entering the Terminal Station and running from most of the up-to\vn depots. 12 PRINCIPAL ENTRANCES Turnstile gates, exits and ticket offices are located as follows: N.

Naturally he will desire to reach the Ex- position as quickly as possible, in such a case let him board the Illinois Central fast train, remaining seated until the terminal station is announced. Passing through the turnstile and proceeding straight ahead he will find himself in the main waiting room of the TERMINAL RAILWAY STATION designed by C. B. Atwood, and modeled after the famous baths of Caracalla in Rome. Di- mensions 250 X 600 feet, three stories high, cost ^250,000. This building contains waiting and check rooms, lunch counters, lavatories and general railway and custom house offices. In the main hall notice the 24 clocks showing the time in the principal cities of the world. Once fairly outside the main entrance the handsome booth for the sale of Chocolate Menier, wtll be noticed to the left. There before him looms the ADMINISTRATION BUILDING the ''gem'' of the Exposition, it was designed by Richard M. Hunt, New York (^ity. Dimensions 262 X 262 feet. Grand central dome 277 feet high, cost $550,000. Statuary by Karl Bitter, New York City. Painted decorations by AVilliam Leftwich Dodge. — the dome reminds one of the Invalides, the tomb of Napoleon the Great, in Paris. 15 There are four main pavilions occupied as follows: Pavilion A— United States Commissioners, Telegraph officers. Messenger service. Pavilion B— Executive officers. Custom House officials. Pavilion C— Publicitj'^ and Promotion. Newspaper and correspondents headquarters. Bureau of Imformation. Pavilion D— Office Foreign affairs. Express companies. Bank and Columbian Guard. Twenty-eight groups and a large number of single pieces of statuary are placed on and around the Ad- ministration Building, the larger groups representing 'Tire;' ''Air;' ''Water;' and "Earth'' in their natural condition and as subdued or controlled by man. The smaller groups being designed to represent ''War;' "Fine Arts;' "Industry," and "Sciences.'' A magnificent view of the central basin and the surrounding buildings can be obtained from the terrrace on the fourth floor, reached by the elevator or winding stairs. Many inscriptions and the names of famous navigators and explorers will be noticed around both the outer and inside walls of the inmiense dome. Im- mediately in front of the eastern door is the fine statue of Columbus by Augustus St. Gaudens. In front of this is the Columbian Fountain facing the main basin just east of the Administration Building, designed by Frederick MacMonnies of Paris. It resembles closely a symbolical sketch alleged to have been drawn by Columbus, and in some respects follows the model of the great fountain at the Paris exposition. On either side are arranged two of the largest Electric Fountains ever made— the basins are 60 ft. in diameter; 16 17 each having 152 jets all of which can be thrown into action at one time; 38 arc lights are required for illu- mination. The cost of the operation for one night is 8700. Turning to the north, or left, the visitor may now partly retrace his footsteps to the main southern en- trance of the MINES AND MINING BUILDING designed in the Italian Renaissance style by S. S. Beman, architect, of ( hicago. Dimensions 350 x 700 feet; two stories high; floor area 8.7 acres; cost $265,000.

Leaving the southern door of the east annex the visitor may proceed in a southeasterly course noticing an oddly sculptured figure by Theodore Baur called ''The Secret'' placed near the base of a large overhang- ing tree. Near the water edge will also be seen a faith- ful reproduction of Izaak Walton's house erected by the Chicago Fly Casting Club. Passing several of the Foreign Buildings and continuing southward the sight- seer now enters the FISHERIES BUILDING The exterior of this building is Spanish Romanesque and is highly ornamented with medallions and friezes 129 S O t3 130 in fish and sea foam design. Dimensions, 165x365 feet, the Annexes, connected witli the main building by- arcades, are circular in form, and 135 feet in diameter. Total cost, $225,000. Total floor area, 3.1 acres. Architect, Henry Ives Cobb of Chicago. In the main building are the general fisheries exhiuit. In the west annex is the angling exhibit, and in the east is the aquaria.

Salt-water fish will be shown in tanks of 40,000 gallons. The salt water is brought from the Atlantic Ocean, being con- densed for shipment to one-fifth its bulk, and then restored at the tanks with fresh water. The exhibits in this building consist mainly of preserved and dried fish from great fishing sections. NOTABLE EXHIBITS. 1. Russia. Large exhibit of fishing implements. Preserved and dried fish. 2.

Offices of newspapers devoted to fishing and the exhibits of the Pennsylvania, Brazil, and Wisconsin fish commission. Adjoining the Fisheries' Building on the north, v^^ill be seen the Polisli Cafe serving dishes peculiar to the Polish people, west of which is located the Swedish Restaurant architecturally representing an old tavern in Sweden. Just back of this restaurant is a handsome structure known as the Cafe de Marine w^here all kinds of shell fish, poultry, and game can be procured. The Japanese Tea House constructed of green bamboo and furnished in true Japanese style, afi"ords a charming retreat for tea drinking visitors and is situated just north of the Cafe de Marine near the bridge. Again the visitor must take a southern course crossing the bridge leading from west wing of Fish- eries' building over the lagoon and across to the WOODED ISLAND To many w^ho go sight-seeing at the Fair the wooded island will be one of the most delightful resorts in the entire gounds. It's a beautiful place to relieve the eye and mind from all the grandeur of the architec- tural and industrial wonders w^hich continually impress one while on the avenues and in the buildings. A little irregularly shaped body of land — sixteen acres in all — which has been transformed into a veritable paradise. The island will, unconsciously to many, serve the pur- pose for which it was designed, a resting place where relief from the study of the arts and industries may be found. It is devoted largely to floriculture and horti- culture. At the north end however, is the Japanese building. JAPAN'S ISLAND PAVILION The Japanese building is a reproduction of the Hooden or Phenix palace, and consists of the pavilions 134 i representing three periods of Japanese history. The left wing is in the Fujiwari style, ranging from the tenth to the thirteenth century. The right wing shows the style of the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. The central pavilion represents part of a Daimo's palace in the eighteenth century. The building is to be presented to the City of Chicago as a gift from the Japanese commission after the close of the Exposition. The buildings are full of unique and attractive exhibits from the flowery kingdom. They are located at the extreme north end of the island. At the south end of the island, almost hidden by bushes and scrub trees, may be found the Hunter^s Cabin, or Davy Crockett's camp. The very sight of it will afford a rest to the eye. The little pioneer cabin is filled with relics of Davy Crockett and of old hunting and trapping days in America. It might also stand as an exhibit of Chicago as she was fifty or sixty years ago. The hut presents a striking contrast to the stately edifices looming up just across the water on all sides. BOATS ON THE LAGOON While on the wooded island the visitor will observe the many different kinds of water-craft on the lagoon. Drawn up in the rushes that fringe the wooded island are half a hundred boats, each one unique in its way, and each in its construction emphasizing the peculiar- ities of the land from which it comes. In a miniature harbor two birch-bark canoes, brought from Hudson Bay, swing at the end of grass ropes. A little farther along is seen the picturesque Klingit canoe, which the Alaskan Indians use on the riv^ers. Nearly all of these boats are classified in the department of transportation exhibits. The gondola company has twenty gondolas and four bissones, propelled bj^ 60 gondoliers. The costumes of the gondoliers are of bright colors, after the style of the fourteenth centur5^ The canopies of the gondolas and bissones are of rich heavy velvet, with linings of tints to match the roofs covered with heavy U5 satin. Gold fringe, tassels, and cords are used to orna- ment these canopies. THREE-MILE WATER COURSE There are also electric launches. The course over which they run measures about three miles for the round trip, and there are landings at all the large build- ings and principal points of interest. They are about IG feet in length all over, with a beam G feet 3 inches, and a draught of about 28 inches. They are elegantly finished in mahogany, are luxuriously cushioned and carpeted, and carry about 30 passengers each. Batteries and motors are placed beneath the seats and fiooring, so that the utmost carrying capacity is availed of, and they are absolutely free from smoke, grease, ofiensive odors, and vibration. The speed of the launches on the lagoons is limited to six miles an hour, but thej^ can be spurted to the rate of nine to twelve miles when desired. The launches are provided with gayly striped canopies to protect passengers from the sun, and wath side curtains for use on stormy days or in case of a sudden shower. Boarding an Illinois Central at 60th street, the visitor proceeds home and thus completes his third day's tour. 136 FOURTH DAY FOREIGN BUILDINGS The Foreign Buildings are in close proximity to the North Pier, which is reached by the smaller excursion steamers from Chicago's Lake Front; and within easy distance of the principal pier, by means of steam- launches, for those arriving by the larger vessels. As- suming the visitor will select the water route, the first of the foreign buildings he notices after landing near the Naval exhibit is that of GREAT BRITAIN It is a typical English "half-timber*' house of the style of the sixteenth century, and has been officially named "Victoria House." The building is 2jenerally characteristic of the best type of English half-tim])er houses of the time of Henry YIII, and was designed by Col. Edis. The plan forms three sides of a quadrangle, with the open side next the lake, inclosed by a raised terrace with balustrade. On the first floor is a large suite of rooms and offices. The walls and ceilings of the principal rooms are elaborately paneled. The furniture is very handsome, being of carved oak in the Italian renaissance style. In addition to the library, reception and commis- sioner's rooms, there may be seen several interesting exhibits as follows: 137 Large scale map showing discoveries made by Eng- land in America. Educational and postoffice exhibits. Just west of the British Building stands a Soda Pavilion, where the visitor may quench his thirst before going on to the Clam Bake near the Fisheries' Building which has a seating capacity of 2,200 persons. An annex known as the Banquet Hall is 140x170 feet, two stories high with a Casino roof. From the Clam Bake the route leads to the CANADIAN BUILDING Which stands on the lake shore. The main building is two stories high and has three entrances, the princi- pal one facing the lake. A plain style of architecture was adopted for the construction of the building, which is 70x40 feet, having in addition a semi-circula^r pro- jection of 20 feet in the front and rear elevation. Over the front entrance the tower is circular as it issues through the roof. There is a veranda 10 feet w^ide all around the building, having a balcony over- head of the same width supported b}^ twenty-eight columns, with a balustrade divided into panels. D. E warts, architect. In order to show the different woods indigenous to Canada, the interior walls, ceiling, and floors of the pavilion have been finished in wood,, highly polished, showing their natural grain. Each Province has furnished the wood required to finish the rooms to be occupied by its commissioners. The pavilion, with its finishings, cost about $30,000. Over 500 Canadian newspapers are kept on file in the reading room. Westward of and next to this building is that of another English colony, NEW SOUTH WALES Which is called the "Australian House.*' Classical in design and ornamentation. It is 60x60 feet inexter- 138 ior dimensions, with a portico 12 feet wide extending across the front. The portico roof is supported by- six Doric columns, 2 feet 6 inches in diameter, and 20 feet high, with a cornice frieze and balustrade extending around the entire building. The exterior of the build- ing is staff. The central portion is occupied by a hall 30 feet in width and extending the entire depth of the building. In the center is polygonal dome, 30 feet in diameter, the top being 40 feet from the floor. This building is occupied by the commissioners. North of Australian House.and lying between Can- ada and Germany, is the SPANISH BUILDING A three-fourths reproductions of a section of La Lonja the Lace Exchange, Valencia, Spain. The erect- ion of this building was commenced in 1492 previous to the departure of Columbus' fleet. The section shown represents the column-hall and the tower wherein all defaulting and bankrupt merchants were confined, A circular -stairway, approached from an inside entrance, affords means of reaching the top of the tower. This building has a frontage of 84 feet and 6 inches and a depth of about 95 feet. The height of the main building is about 50 feet, the tower rising to the height of nearly 65 feet. Rafael Gaustivino, architect. Many relics of Columbus are on exhibition in this structure; some of his letters, a sword which belonged to his beautiful and magnanimous patron, Isabella, also one wielded to Cortez in his conquest of Mexico; ancient Spanish Artillery with ammunition, etc. ^ Still walking towards the northwest the next structure to be visited is that of the GERMAN BUILDING Which has an imposing frontage on the lake front of about 150 feet and a depth of 175 feet. Its height is 139 78 feet and the tower that overtops its measures 150 feet from the ground. Over the main entrance, in Gothic lettering, a characteristic German motto appears, which in English would be: Fruitful and powerful, Full of corn and wine, Full of strength and iron, Tuneful and thoughtful, I will praise thee, Fatherland mine. In the belfry are hung three huge bells, which will ultimately go into the "Church of Mercy,'' now being constructed at Berlin, in memory of the late Empress Augusta. Their chimes are worth hearing. The center is in the form of a chapel, rich in decor- ations. The massive walls are decorated and frescoed in South German style. The rather steep roof is cov- ered with shining glazed tiles imported from Germany. The inner hall, with the exception noted, extends over the entire space in the building, covering an area of about 2.000 square feet. The pillars everywhere are heavy, short and solid throughout and the arches are semi-circular, the style being early German Renaissance. Balconies rise in tiers on all four sides, the heavy tim- ber and castings used in their construction being richly decorated. Subdued color eftects are everywhere visi- ble and the niches and corners show poetic paintings. The German Building (jost .$250,000. A large library and reading room containing files of leading German newspapers aflords a place of rest and interest to the visitors. South and a little westward of it may be found the HAYTIAN BUILDING I The exterior dimensions of the building are 124x160 feet, 50 feet high. The Haj^ ti building contains some interesting historical relics from the tlie 'M)]ack repub- lic.*' One of Columbus' ancliors, various trophies, etc., of aboriginal inhabitants, the bust and relics of the 140 famous patriot, Toussaint L' Ouverture and pictures of noted men of the republic are also exhibited. The beautiful statue in the center of the building entitled *'La Eeverie" is b}^ Laforestrie, a native negro sculptor. There is a restaurant in connection with the building where cofl'ee made from the berries grown in Hayti is served at 10 cents per cup. Northwest of and across the walk from the building last visited is the site upon which is seen the EAST INDIA BUILDING The exterior is in East Indian style, modeled remotely after the fashion of the Taj Mahal. The most striking part is the doorway. The building is one story high, with the gallery and a piazza in front. It is built entirely of staff. In shape the structure is rectan- gular, 80x60 feet, 50 high and its architecture is gener- ally on Indian lines. The main entrance is through a lofty gateway surmounted by minarets, which are repeated on the corners of the building; the whole decorated in the high, striking colors of the Orient. All articles displayed in this building are for sale and consist of a large and varied assortment of Indian fabrics and wares. Just back of here appears the COLOMBIA BUILDING The prevailing style of its architecture is that of the Italian Renaissance. Lieut, R. H. Lemly, archi- tect. It occupies a space 45x45 feet, but on each side are conservatories filled with rare tropical plants, which give it the appearance of much greater dimen- sions. Cost, S1G,000. The building is surmounted by a glass dome and a condor, which is the national emblem- atic bird of Columbia. On each side a group of three figures supports a globe and Hagstaff bearing the national colors— yellow, blue, and red. At a lower 14X level, and occupying the principal place in the facade, is the national coat-of-arms consisting of a shield with three divisions; viz., two horns of plenty separated by the granada, a native fruit, a liberty cap, and finally a representation of the Isthmus of Panama, with a ship in each ocean. It is used as a clubhouse and official headquarters. In the exhibition room is a very valuable collection of antiquities, exhumed from prehistoric graves in Colombia, comprising water-bottles, human images, helmets, trumpets, breastplates, necklaces, bangles, anklets, etc., all of pure gold. There are also several large mummies and a large collection of ancient pottery. First book printed in South America, 1584. One part of the collection which attracts attention is the little carved wooden images of men and women scarcely an inch in height, but perfect in outline and detail. They were carved by a native girl 17 years old. South of Colombia, and in the same plot of ground framed by its triangular lines is the SWEDISH BUILDING The building was manufactured in Sweden, where it was temporarily put together; afterwards taken to pieces, sent across the ocean, and erected on its three- cornered site at Jackson Park. Its entire cost has been nearly $40,000. The design of the pavilion was made by Gustaf ^Vickman, architect, of Stockholm, and represents in style the Swedish churches and gentlemen's country-houses of the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries, and as far as possible the characteristics of the old Swedish architecture have been retained. The lower part of the front wall of the pavilion consists of modern brick, terra-eotta and cement work. Except the part just mentioned, the en- tire structure is built of wood. The window sashes are all painted in green, and some turned details of the 142 i balconies have been colored red, green and white. The high crown on the top of the steeple, as well as the frame work around the bell, is gilded. The inside of the pavilion is painted in light colors, and richly decorated with bunting, coats-of-arms, crests, etc. It is filled with an excellent display of the products of Sweden. Here may be found an excellent exhibit of the world-famed Swedish iron ores, also china goods, grass products, gold and silver work, wood pulp and mani- fold other articles. A complete collection of Swedish minerals, and also instructive geographical maps. In fact, the building is quite full of interesting exhibits depicting life in Sweden, dress, etc., as well as a historical display. West and across the walk of the Swedish Pavilion is found the VENEZUELA BUILDING The building is a single story in height, and is con- structed of white marble, in the Graeco-Koman style of architecture. The graceful facade is ornamented with three handsome towers, on the left of which stands a life-sized statue of Columbus. On the right is the statue of Bolivar, the * 'Liberator.'' It contains an interesting lot of prehistoric relics of the Incas, mineral and vegetable products, displays of fine arts, manufactures, etc. Along the walk to the east of Venezuela is a struc- ture of difl"erent type, erected by an Asiatic power, the TURKISH BUILDING a reproduction of a fountain in Constantinople, built 200 years ago by Selim the Great. On three sides of the structure are marble basins, into which spout crystal 143 waters, while upon the fourth side is a beautiful portal for entrance to the interior. Intricate carvings adorn the exterior walls, which are composed of mucharabia, a Turkish hardwood of great beauty. Bich exhibit of silks, costly jewelry and brilliant gems; also guns, gold and silver wares, daggers, soft fabrics and other oriental wares are placed in this pavilion. Here may also be se3n many curious relics from the Stamboul museum, and historic relics of the greatest value. Lying west of Turkey is the BRAZILIAN BUILDING The ground plan of the pavilion is in the form of a Greek cross, the outside dimensions being 148x148 feet. Col. Sousa Aguiar, architect. The elevation has two stories, 25 feet 6 inches and 25 feet high, respectively, surmounted by a central dome constructed of steel, 43 feet in diameter at the base and 43 feet high at the crown. The entire height from grade to top of finial is 120 feet. The style of architecture is strictly French Eenaissance. The Indian figures in the base reliefs of the facades and those on the stylobate of the dome are allegorical, and representative of the republic of Brazil, and are very fittingly used in this connection. The columns and capitals of the four facades are Corinthian in order. There are four campaniles, each with an open observatory 70 feet from grade. These points are reached by spiral iron stairs from the second floor to the roof, at which point the wood stairs complete the means of ascent. The entire roof except the dome, is flat and surrounded by a balustrade. The cost of this building was $00,000. Divided into ofllces for the Brazilian comissioners. 144 Northeast of Brazil is the GUATEMALA BUILDING This building is square with 111 feet at each side and occupies a space of 1.200 feet. Its architecture is original but in no way classical. It is in the Spanish style and corresponds well with the country it repres- ents. The interior court resembles the old Palos Span- ish House. In the court is a fountain, from which the waters play as from over a large rock. The entire height of the towers is 65 feet. The total cost was about $40,000. Large display of coffee. In the rear is a coffee garden where native musi- cians discourse sweet instrumental music. North of the Guatemala is the COSTA RICA BUILDING Which in style is called Doric, is 103 feet wide, with two stories and clear-story, making the full height 50 feet high. Over each main entrance to the building is placed the national shield of the Central American republic in bold relief, making a striking addition to the decorative part of the work. The building cost $20,000. All of Costa Kica's exhibits are found in this build- ing. The coffee raising and process of curing being the most interesting. It is necessary to take a course due northeast to reach the NORWAY BUILDING In style it is built after tlie model of the old '-Stav- kirke'' a peculiarly Norwegian style of architecture, which dates back to the twelfth century. It is an oddly 145 built eross-gabled edifice, the peaks of its gables orna- mented with decorations similar to those with which the Norsemen of the time of Leif Ericsson, the first discoverer of America, w^ere wont to embellish the prows of their sea-going vessels. In size the building is G0x25 feet and is constructed of Norway pine. It was planned and built in sections in Norway, then taken down, sent here and set up. All of its workmen and materials were Norwegian. Occupied by the commission and used as a reception parlor. Northeast of Norw^ay an antique Buddhist temple, facing Lake Michigan presents an attractive appearance, it is the CEYLON COURT It consists of a central octa£:onal building with two wings facing, respectively, north and south. The length of the entire court is 145 feet; the width of the central hall, 50 feet. The doorway is beautifully hand- carved in imitation of those ancient temples. Contains many beautiful interesting relics, etc. Northwestwardly from the Ceylon building and adjoining it, is the ^ FRENCH BUILDING There are two pavilions connected by two semi- circular colonades, at the center of which is a very fine fountain elaborately decorated with bronze statuary brought over from France. The court of the pavilion faces the lake, the enclosure thus made forming a delightful retreat. The exterior of the building is in the style of the French Renaissance, entirely of staff and elaborately decorated, there being a very large group of statuary on the north facade and several his- torical paintings placed on the exterior of the building. The general effect of this structures is quite pleasing. Architects, Motte & Du Buysson. 146 The large room of this pavilion is entitled ^*De La Fayette'' and it contains all the gifts, mementos, histor- ical relics and things of interest regarding the dealing between La Fayette and this country. Models and plans of the schools, prisons, hospitals and sewerage system of Paris are also shown on the walls of this structureo 147 FIFTH DAY STATE BUILDINGS The portion of the World's Fair Grounds contain- ing the State buildings may best be reached from the Cottage Grove Avenue Cable line, which lands the visitor at the 57th street entrance.
