THE SOUTH GARDENS FROM THE PALACE OF HORTICULTURE This beautiful scene, showing Festival Hall, the Italian towers at the entrance to the Court of Flowers, and other beautiful features, pictures the principal garden on the Exposition grounds.

Honorary President. THE WOMANS' BOARD MRS. GAILLARD STONEY, Secretary. To the general public the visible work of the Woman's Board, during the Exposition period, will be the dispensing of hospitality at the California Building, and in connection with the women of the State, presiding over and conducting the social functions which are a part of the life of expositions. A large section of the State building has been designed for these social purposes and will be open at all times for the care and entertainment of the people guests of the Hostess State and its citizens. While the preliminary work of the Board has been most useful and brilliantly successful, it is at great gatherings of distinguished people that women by tact, cultivated taste and courtesy become leaders in the important duties of hospitality. During the period of the building of the Exposition the Woman's Board has helped mould public opinion, and worked successfully through various agencies, among these by auxiliary branches through the Counties of the State. With the co-operation of other agencies it will assist in the care and guidance of visitors and will be especially helpful to women. The personnel of the Woman's Board is: Honorary president, Mrs. Hearst; president, Mrs. Sanborn; first vice-president, Mrs. Lovell White; second vice-president, Mrs. I. Low- enberg; third vice-president, Mrs. William Hickley Taylor; fourth vice-president, Mrs. John P. Merrill; fifth vice-president, Mrs. Frank L. Brown; sixth vice-president, Mrs. Ernest S.

THE TOWER OF JEWELS ILLUMINATED All previous schemes of illumination are strikingly departed from by the Exposition in the employ of what is termed the indirect or masked system of lighting. The advantages of this system lie in the variety of effects to which it lends itself. It is this masked system of lighting that lends such a wonderful view to the 435-foot Tower of Jewels with its 125,000 swinging jewels and makes its beauty iridescent. THE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION OF 1915 AT SAN FRANCISCO. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition celebrates the com- pletion of that epochal achievement the Panama Canal, by which two continents are severed that the entire world may be brought into closer contact. It celebrates also the achievements of mankind during the decade preceding the year 1915, shows the great progress that has been made in every branch of human endeavor and depicts the present capabilities of the human race. The Exposition means the cementing of existing and the making of new international friendships. It tells a story to those from a foreign clime and brings to us of the Western Hemisphere a more complete understanding of the peoples of the World. 'Neath the grim armament of the Presidio, whose guns guard the Golden Gate, nestles the Exposition, from which across the water may be seen, to the north, the frowning sides of Mt. Tamalpais, the isles which dot the land-locked sea, and the hills that guard San Pablo Bay. In the immediate east, the south and the west lies San Francisco, the "Hostess City." The Exposition grounds, containing 635 acres, are in a natural amphitheatre overlooking San Francisco Bay. The grounds extend something over two miles along the water front, affording unob- structed view of naval pageants and other aquatic features. At the various land entrances are ample stations where cars, automobiles and other transportation service may discharge passengers so that they may reach any desired point quickly. On the water front, facing the Marina, are slips where steamers, launches and ferry boats may dock. Inside the grounds a railway extends from end to end of the Marina, affording visitors a comprehensive view of the Exposition and of the scenic attractions which surround it. Automobile chairs, jinrik- shas, bicycle and push chairs are available for use of visitors. The magnificent structures which house the evidences of the world's progress are the highest combination of the designer's art and the skillful labor of the artisan. They rise majestic in their grandeur; their capacity is enormous, and their sculptural decorations are sym- bolic of the exhibits they contain. These exhibits are divided into eleven groups: Fine Arts; Education and Social Economy; Liberal Arts; Manufactures, Varied Industries; Machinery; Transportation; Agriculture; Live Stock; Horticulture, and Mines and Metallurgy. THE LANDSCAPE AND FLORAL SCHEME At no exposition yet held in this country has there been so elab- orate and extensive a floral display as shown at this exposition. The work has been done under the direction of Mr. John McLaren, the Superintendent of Golden Gate Park of San Francisco, who is recog- nized throughout Europe and America as one of the highest authori- ties in this profession. The main avenues are featured with large specimen trees and palms. Against the great Exhibit Palaces have been planted cypress, spruce, eucalyptus, fir and other species, from twenty to thirty feet high. Next these are trees and shrubbery of lesser height, and again these are banked with flowers of brilliant hue, to be changed with the seasons of the year, giving a color blend- ing of most enchanting beauty wherever the eye may rest. Over 2,200 fuschia trees and six thousand hydrangeas and hun- dreds of thousands of other bright colored flowering plants have been used upon the grounds to add brilliancy to the colors, which are all in contrast to the rich, restful green of lawn and shrubbery. The many driveways and courts have diversified treatment accord- ing to their location and measure of sunlight and shade, all causing a harmonious whole. THE LIGHTING OF THE,:EXPOS1TION The method of lighting employed on the exposition grounds is known as the "indirect"; the walls of the exhibit palaces being flooded by the light from great arcs, in front of which have been placed handsome brass shields, thus shading the eyes of the specta- tors while giving a complete and restful illumination. The domes of the buildings are flooded with light from powerful searchlights and as their rays fall upon the "jewels" of hand-cut crystal, the effect reminds one of Fairyland. THE NORTH GARDEN For nearly a mile along the bay frontage stretches the North Garden. This is separated from the palaces by the broad paved Es- planade. The spacious Yacht Harbor is almost in the center. Sur- rounding the Yacht Harbor is an Italian ballustrade on which are erected decorative light standards. THE SOUTH GARDEN The South Gardens, embracing the entire territory between the Horticultural Building and Festival Hall, will be maintained as a French garden, containing three large pools and ornamented with numerous small fountains, balustrades and beds of color. All of these beds will be planted in one color; at the opening of the Exposition the entire area of beds will be a blaze of yellow daffodils, with a groundwork of yellow pansies to be followed by red tulips, after which a planting of begonia will carry the color scheme through until the close of the Exposition. Each planting will be of 200,000 plants of each variety. THE COURTS OF THE EXPOSITION The main central court or Court of the Universe is distinguished by a formal setting of shrubbery in the center of which is a large sunken garden. Myrtle hedges, pillar roses and climbing plants are THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS The exterior of the Palace of Fine Arts is entirely unlike the Fine Arts building at any previous Exposition. It is the arc of a circle, with an outer length of 1100 feet having a colonnaded front, and a central rotunda 162 feet high. The construction is steel and concrete fireproof. Ihc exhibits consist of the best productions of foreign and American artists. Not only paintings and sculpture, but tapestries, jewelry, and mosaics, inlays, carvings, and fabrics such as laces and rugs, are exhibited. The grouping of sculpture in the rotunda and the colonnad. attractive. freely used in the adornment of this court. In the Court of Abundance may be seen among other things 100 orange trees in bearing. Great magnolias, formal Italian Cypress, spring flowering bulbs and annuals, are, in their turn, used to beautify. In the Court of Palms are different varieties of palms and a collection of sweet smelling shrubs such as myrtle, breath of heaven, lavender, lemon verbena, and rosemary. The Court of Flowers, as the name denotes, will be a showing of brilliant hufid flowers in great variety. The Court of the Pour Seasons is laid out to illustrate the various phases of the four seasons, among other things containing four great colonnaded niches wherein are placed groups of statuary representing respectively Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. THE PREDOMINATING COLOR SCHEME The color and decorative features of the Exposition are under the direction of Mr. Jules Guerin. The palaces are shaded in a neutral tint smoked ivory. The portals, colonnades and groupings of archi- tectural features are masses in reds, blues, greens, and gold. FOREIGN COUNTRIES PARTICIPATING The following foreign countries have officially accepted the invita- tion of the United States Government to participate in the Panama- Pacific International Exposition: Guatemala, Haiti, Salvador, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Pan- ama, Mexico, I-eru, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Japan, Ecuador, Uruguay, Canada, Liberia, Prance, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Portugal, Sweden, Netherlands, Argentine, Denmark, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Persia, Paraguay, New Zealand, Turkey, Australia, Italy, Siam, Greece, Aus- tria, Switzerland, Norway, Monaco, Bulgaria, Servia. Some important foreign countries failing to send official or govern- mental representations, will be represented by great exhibits gathered by subscriptions among the peoples of those countries, notably Eng- land and Germany. The Pavilions of the Foreign Countries are grouped in the western portion of the grounds, on the Marina, opposite the group of State buildings. PARTICIPATION BY THE STATES Forty-three of the States of the Union are participating in the life of the Exposition. Many of the buildings are replicas of historic mansions or public buildings in the various States. The Old Bay State has a reproduction of the Old Bulflnch portion of the Massachu- setts State House. Virginia, "the old State, Mother of Presidents," has a reproduction of Mt. Vernon, home of President Washington. Pennsylvania's handsome building will house the "Old Liberty Bell." All of the State buildings are handsome structures, large and com- modious, exceedingly creditable to the States. Many are palatial edifices. " OUR INSULAR POSSESSIONS." Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines each give the visitor an opportunity to become familiar with the character of these countries, their people and manner of life. THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING Larger, grander and more imposing than any other structure of either Foreign Country or Sister State is that of California. It is at the end of Administration Avenue extending for seven hundred and more feet along the Marina and the water front. It has large sec- tions for executive offices, social and hospitality functions, and display purposes, and will be the stage for all stately honors and ceremonials by the citizens of the Hostess City and State. THE ZONE Here are to be seen remarkable evidences of the enterprise of the business men of San Francisco. That no important feature in making a great international exposition be omitted the amusement section has been largely built, and the great shows made possible by the financing of the amusement "Zone" features by wealthy business men of the city. Notable among the companies formed for this purpose are the Consolidated Amusements Company and the Combined Amuse- ments Company, both of which have expended vast sums, running into millions of dollars, for the enormous buildings and the features established therein. From the Avenue of Progress, near the Fillmore Street entrance, the~Zone extends east for a distance of three thousand feet, equal to seven city blocks. Upon both sides of the thoroughfare the amuse- ment palaces and show houses, great and small, line the way and allure the visitor. OFFICERS OF THE EXPOSITION Charles C. Moore, President; Wm. H.

The Court of Flowers is the beautiful court join- ing Palm Avenue with the Court of Abundance. Into each of these lovely courts has been poured a wealth of beauty of stone and flower and plant. THE COURT OF ABUNDANCE AND MULLGARD'S TOWER The Court of Abundance, designed by Louis C. Mullgardt, shows in the inner facade and the general detail the effect of the Oriental phase of the Spanish-Moorish type of architecture. This court is dedicated to music, dancing, and pageantry. The walls of the court are formed by facades of the Palaces of Agriculture and Manufactures, Varied Industries, and Mines. THE PALACE OF HORTICULTURE While fittingly appropriate to the nature of its exhibits, the Palace of Horticulture is also one of the most pleasing of any upon the Exposi- tion grounds. It is of French Renaissance design, dominated by a central glass dome 160 feet high. Fourteen acres is devoted to horticultural pur- poses at the Exposition; five of these are covered by this beautiful palace, while nine acres are devoted to an outside garden. PALACE OF TRANSPORTATION-PALACE OF PURE FOODS The Palace of Transportation faces the Marina, fronting on the Esplanade and Court of Universe. It is 618 feet long and 579 feet wide.

FESTIVAL HALL Festival Hall fronts upon the South Gardens, at the right of the Main entrance, and faces the Palace of Horticulture. It is the standardized type of French theater architecture, having one large central dome, with minor domes and minarets, and is profusely decorated with statuary. It contains a magnificent organ of great volume. The world's famous organists give organ recitals daily during the entire Exposition. Its use for congresses, conventions, concerts, and other musical features causes Festival Hall to be one of the most important and popular buildings upon the Exposition grounds.

LOOKING FROM THE COURT OF FOUR SEASONS TOWARDS THE SCINTILLATOR The Scintillator is composed of a battery of searchlights located upon the breakwater of the Yacht Harbor. It is this scintillator which throws the aurora into the night heavens. THE ESPLANADE FROM ADMINISTRATION AVENUE One of the most beautiful of the promenades at the Exposition is the wide Esplanade which runs from Machinery Hall to the Massa- chusetts Building. This view is looking east towards the Column of Progress, with the California Building upon the left. The group of exhibit palaces is located upon the right. be A SECTION OF THE GOVERNMENT EXHIBITS-MODEL POSTOFFICE Our government has made extensive displays in several of the exhibit palaces. They are the most popular of any to be seen, probably ecause the people themselves own them. In the Liberal Arts Palace are exhibits of the State Department, Department of Commerce Rec- lamation Service Indian Bureau Fine Arts Commission, Smithsonian Institute, Public Health, Red Cross, Marine Hospital, Library of Congress, L.en;us Bureau, Bureau of Standards, and Isthmian Canal Commission.

New York, "the Empire State," is resplendent in representation at the Exposition, with one of the finest and largest buildings upon the Marina. The State is distinguished for the magnificence of her receptions and as a dispenser of social hospitality at Expositions. THE CANADIAN, PHILIPPINE AND HAWAIIAN PAVILIONS Excepting the California Building, the Canadian Pavilion is the largest building other than exhibit palaces at the Exposition. The interior decorations, entirely of grains and grasses, picturing farming, forest scenery, and country landscapes, is a revelation in decorative art. The Philippine Pavilion is characteristic of the Islands, with open patio in the center. The interior is finished in native hardwoods. The famous Con- stabulary Band gives daily concerts. The Hawaiian Building is a beautiful structure directly facing the California Building. While it has many attractions, its two main features are a tropical garden, showing the wonderful foliage of Hawaii, and an aquarium.
