Excerpt from Pan-American Buffalo and Niagara Falls: A Picturesque Souvenir It is said that it would take hours to see the sights at the Paris Exposition. Allowing eight hours a day for sight - seeing it would take somewhat more than three years to take m the whole of this tremendous show. The Pan American Exposition at Buffalo during the season of 1901 will excel the Paris Exposition in four particulars; in the electrical effects, in the horticultural and floral embellishments, in the hydraulic and fountain effects, and in the court settings. But in the matter of exhibits the aim of the superintendents of divisions is directed to securing representative displays in all lines, and to avoid, as much as possible, duplication in the various sections. Each exhibitor is urged to select special things from his line of products in order that the Exposition may place before the world all that is newest in machinery, implements and merchandise in general. The Exposition will be distinctive in its up t-o date character. In the classification of exhibits they have been arranged 1n some fifteen or more groups. These are: electricity and electrical appliances, fine arts, graphic arts, liberal arts, ethnology, agriculture, horticulture, live stock, forestry, fish eries, mines, machinery, manufactures, transportation, and special exhibits from the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. Important sub-divisions of this classification are, educa tion, sanitation and hygiene, agricultural machinery, ordnance, dairying, and others. All the principal countries of Central and South America and the West India Islands have expressed their intention to make adequate displays of their many interesting pro ducts, and the principal States of the Union will be on hand with large exhibits showing their natural resources and manufactured products of all kinds. One of the leading purposes of the Exposition is to promote closer relations among all the republics of the Western Hemisphere in order that trade and commerce may be given a new impetus by reason ofa better knowledge of the markets of all the countries.
