I tdeot J. \V. Thornui. "Ladies and Gentlemen?On Jane 1, j< 1896, these grounds and the buildings j' erected thereon were dedicated to the j' honor and glory of Tennessee, in com* memoration of an event which trans* I pired on June 1, 17%, and as tribute tor the men and women who endured thej Vmrrishinn and braved the dangers of; frontier life in the wilderness west of ; the Allephanies, that they might found j his great commonwealth. "They loved the banner of our coun-1( try, with its little cluster of 13 stars;,1 and the lapse of 100 years has not im-1 paired the honor, integrity or patriot igm of the people of Tennessee; for wo;1 lore the same banner, with its glorious ^ PBES1DENT J. constellation of 45 stars, representing 45 ; Borereign states, which together con- < stitnte the greatest nation in the world. ] "The objects of this uentec:.:^i expo- ( iition are to commemorate Mie past, , , present the advantages of the present , and inspire hope for the future?the t past, the present, the future of Tennes- . see?objects so laudible that the enterprise has received the approval of the government of the United States, oongreBS having appropriated $130,000 that , the general government might be prop- ] erly represented by a grand object les- j son, showing the progress of the nation , during the past 120 years. It has also , been approved by the authorities of the , state of Tennessee, the legislature hav- , ing appropriated $50,000 in order that , the history, the products and the re- , sources of the state might be properly presented. The county of Dav.dson and ( city of Nashville, realizing tne nouor , and advantage of having this grand , centennial jubilee within their borders, have donated $150,000; and other cities, ( counties and states, corporations, firms f and 10,000 individuals have augmented , these appropriations and donations until ( a grand total of $1,000,000 has been ex- j pended in preparing for this exposition. "Men in all ages have celebrated great events by holidays, triumphal , processions, grand festivals and towering monuments, and as Tennessee was ' jg53ss5 $ fr: fr-aw the woman's the first state admitted into the Union formed from territory ceded to the general government, it is appropriate that we celebrate onr centennial anniversary by having a great exposition, showing the world that we have kept pace with onr sister states and other nations in the progress of the age?in all the triumphs and glorfes of civilization. "While this celebration is prompted by reverence for the past, it is also prompted by a desire to so advertise and proclaim onr advantages that thousands from other states and other nations will come to see what we have accomplished and realize the marvelous wealth of oar undeveloped resources. "The past century has not been one of continuous peace and prosperity, but there have been periods of differences and dangers that tried men's souls, yet there has been more of prosperity than of adversity, the improvements of the century have been wonderful, and as we stand upon the vantage ground of the present and look back to the pioneer days of Tennessee, we are proud of the record and achievements of the past, and reioice in the advantages of the present, and it is hoped that the youth of the laud will so study these advantages as illustrated in the grand object lesson of this exposition, that they will be inspired to undertake still greater achievements and strive to reach perfeoDENTAL WORK. . :o: ?

Teiiiieneo'n Hlrllidiiy. The inspiration of Tennessee's creat exposition, now formally opened to the public with appropriate ceremonies, is embodied in the speech of President Thomas above quoted. It has been the custom of kings and emperors to commemorate their achievements by massive piles of granite or polished marble shaft; Byron says "old Choops b;uilt ft pyramid to keep his mem'ry whole and mummy hid." It is fitting that a groat commonwealth should celebrate its first birthday by an exhibit of its material resources so displayed as to rereal the culture that is reached only in the highest civilization. ",1- - n<infannt;vl PTnnsitioil JL JltJ ICUUOOOCO VUUbvuu.%.. v..r has been fovtuuate in its selection of the designs and names of many of its buildings. It was a subject of uufavor W. THOMAS. ible comment that Atlanta copied Ohi? :ago so closely in the names of her buildings. Nashville has Deen moro Driginal. Reproductions of the Parthenon, the Ereehtheon, the Tower of Babal, the Riairo, and Cheops pyramid give a hint of the classic taste that has prevailed in providing buildings for an exposition of material things. Now that the gates hare been throwc DpeD to the world, ana tne great enterprise auspiciously launched, people are beginning to ask themsi Ives two leading questions: (1) What is there to see? (2) What does it cost? To which the faithful chronicler must make answer: Almost everything; almost anything. You can see all you have eyes and time to see; it will cost you anything you please. Mr. Charles EL Harman of Atlanta, general passenger agent of the Western ind Atlantic railroad, witnessed the opening ceremonies. Mr. Harman was a director in the Ootton States and International exposing At.innt;* and therefore viewed the Tennessee Centennial buildings and grounds, in comparison with the buildLugs and grounds of the exposition at Atlanta. He admits the grounds aud buildings are finer than the grounds and buildir?8 at Atlanta, but claims the general ticturesqe effect of the Atlanta grounds was greater than the BUILDING. ?fian v *k- ...... ?233 effect at Nash villa. The buildings are all covered with white staff and are architecturally honntifnl He says the Parthenon is the most beautiful building he has ever seen in the United States, with the exception of the new Library building at Washington, D. C. Grounds and Bulldlngi. Before beginning a tour of the buildings a glance at the whole cannot but be interesting. The grounds selected consist of 200 acres lying in the western portion of the city and were formerly known as West Side park. They can bo reached by three lines of electric and one of steam cars. By such means the trip to the fair can be made from the hotels and business portions of the city in 8 minutes, or the distauce may be covered on foot, through the residential part of the city in 20 minutes. The grounds have been so improved as to make them most attractive and Buitable for exposition purposes. The artificial lakes, arbors and pavilions, to. gether with the grouping of the buildings, present an aspect that is wonderfully pleasing. When the millions of plants and flowers shall loud their beauty aud fragrauce to the scene it will be truly enchanting.

Exhibit of Fine Art*. The lartrest and most elaborate builc ,Ag is the Parthenon. It is the cente; piece of the exposition and is an exa< reproduction of the Parthenou i Athens. The naves are in the shape < the great Greek crosses, forming square gallery at either end and tw apartments, or alcoves, in the ceiite All 1/UtJStJ tJllUM uruau UUU1 -1 upgu uv?u nyu the double coluraued porticoes. Thei are no windows in the building. Th light furnished comes from the roo which is, in fact, one long window, < skylight, of itself. This building is the only one not cor 6tructed with staff. It is built of brie and is entirely fireproof, as it is the ri pository of priceless treasures. Directl in front of this building stands the co lossal figure of Pallas Athene, by mil jEuid Yuudell, a daughter of the lal Dr. L. P. Yandell of Louisville, wh was a Tennesseean. The figure is a exact reoroductiou of the one ths +V?/% V*ill Afliona TMiiti n.nn U1UYVUOU UUC7 Mtti Wk AJkvuw.w. ?...v is 25 feet high, although the origiui was 70 feet. Standing, as it does, i front of the main entrance to the Pai tnenon, it occupies, without a doubt, th liuest position in the park. The statu was made in Paris and recently shippei hs Miss Yarnell has been pursuing he studies abroad for the past two years. The Parthenon is appropriately d< voted exclusively to the fine arts. Pec plo who love pictures (and who do? not?) will be pleased to know that tli art exhibit is one of the finest ever see In the south, the majority of the oau vasses being well worthy of a place ut der the classic dome that shelters then Many of the old masters are representee rs well as the modern painters of thi country and abroad, who have distil guished themselves. Here may be see pictures by Raphael, Corregio, Titiat Rembrandt. Van Dyck, Murillo; and < later date Husjuet, Mussouier, Troyoi Corot and others. Whether the art exhibit has been pr< pared with a special view to attractin the teachers ot the south, whose vaci tions will occur during the expositior I do not know: this much is certaii that thousands of them have alread turned their eyes towards the Parthf non, and that the resorts they usuall honor with their presence will mi; them this summer. The hanging of the- pictures was d rected by Mr. Leon Ltoecker of Chicapi who is in charge of the collection. Ai: BWh ? THE PA AmjunwtBui K?A?&J 1 P.

The Commerce building (happil named) is oue of the largest on th grounds. This was called Manufacti rers and Liberal Arts at Chicago an Atlanta, and it will contain the sarc character of exhibits. It is situated o the western side of the park. The buili ing measures 591 by 26G feet, and great dome rises in the middle to he: ;ht of 175 feet. The central pavi ion is tw^ stories in height, the seoon 6tory forming a gallery on either sic 141 by 160 feet, overlooking the navi and is reached by four broad stairway one at each end of the four corner I The eeneral style is based on the Oi 1 riuthian and Ionic orders of the Greci i Roman. In this building may bo found tl finished products of the leading main jfacturers of the world. Utility Stamped 011 every article, but so artist is the arrangement that one wonders manufacturers have all turned artist and if they have wrought for pleasui only and not profit. 'I he Auditorium. Just south of the Parthenon and witl I in easy reach of the main entrance is tl ! Auditorium, wmcn is 0110 oi me mo: impressive buildings on the ground The intention is to use it for the mee ings of large bodies. Many convei tions which are to be held by variot societies have determined to take a( vantage of the opportunity to atten the exposition, and their sessions wi be held iu tho Auditorium. It is als proposed to hold parliaments similar I those held in Chicago during tl World's Fair. The capacity of tl building is about 7,000 people. The di sign is colonial in form and Ionic i treatment. Pour porticoes, facing ti differont points of the compass, gi\ the floor a shapa resembling a slioi cross, except for the circular colounad* connecting at each corner, forming desirable promenade and restful plat for weary sightseers, while the ro( furnishes a beautiful balcony, whir not only adds to the charm of tho di sign, but in addition affords a vantaj point for viewing outdoor displays an pageants.

On , j. one side of it lies Lake Watauga, and | ,]j on tho other is a long, shady avenue. 5. The dimensions of this building are 400 v by 120 feet. Railroad tracks have been 1 [. laid through it, with entrances from , Jg the north for engines and trains. The 0 remainder of the floor space is divided [0 into blocks of different sizes for the reu ception of smaller vehicles and other l(! displays. Simplicity is tho feature of y the design selected for the Transportaal tion building. A most pleasing effect u has been obtained without the use of r. a single column, merely in the groupi6 ing of the masses and proper proporie tioning.

It is a massive i- and imposing structure, constructed id iwith a view of accommodating tha vast lljvariety of exhibits which the negro race ?Ojwill contribuce. Its) contents, showing to ;specimens of work done by the negro in *e all the walks of life, will tell a great j ie story of moral aud mental progress in , 9* the last 50 years.

The largest room will be devoted to exercises for children. Toys and unique articles from ail nations wiil form another interesting exhibit, and, in fact, everything calculated to amuse, please and instruct children and to encourage and stimulate study and advancement will be found in its proper place.

VAN LEE city of Memphis; bsing a- reproduction' and adaptation of th9 pyramid ofj Cheops, erected :3,0r>0 years before the Christian era, an i antedating the Par thenon some 2,;>0D years. It is about: one-sixth of tlie original siz3, being 115 nil i?-o Inca lin* i !tD Oil its ail- ! gle and 100 feet 011 its perpendicular line. The interior is a vast hall, 85 feet Bquare aud 50 feet high, with galleries all around 15 feet in width. This is the , first time since the building of the pyra- ' mids by the Egyptians that an attempt by any architect has been made to reproduce thern, and it will therefore necessarily attract attention. In this ar- j tistic structure Shelby county, of which Memphis is the county seat, will display her cotton and farm products and her manufactures. Memphis on the Mississippi will thus revive the ancient city from which it derives its name. The History Ituildin;. rrl-" TJJ.-f/->? ??

The Electricity Building. While many of the buildings suggest in architecture the art of ancient Greece, the Electricity building is modeled after the tower of Babel, a clever idea certainly. This will prove one of the imposing features of the exposition, for the spiral edifice will be brilliantly illumiuated at night with new electrical devices. < Vanity Fair. The amusement row at evory world's fair since the Chicago exposition has been known as the Midway, in honor of the Midway plaisance, along which these concessions were grouped at Chicago. But the Tenuessej centennial has found a now n;uue for the amusement quarter.

Added to the colonial style aro sugges- th< tious of the Greek school of architec- K? turo, producing an unusually boautiful TP and artistic effect. It is situated south '* of the Auditorium, at the edge of a shady grove of trees. Eipht splendid columns hold the roof above the portico, and higher still an observatory, surrounded by columus and highly ornamented, crowns the whole.

In this large space, or rotunda, there will be playing fountains and palms and statuary in rich luxuriance. At the left of the entrance is the assembly hall for congresses and public meetings. Other rooms are devoted to the arts and industries, to patents, books and musical compositions, painting, sculpture, ceramics and china painting, embroidery, model cooking, education and the work of women excluiively o? avery character. Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman, president of the woman's department of the Ten- 'J nessee exposition, assisted by Mrs. G. M H.
