A Long List of Attractions.?A Description of the Ground and Buildings. Address of the President. "Ladies and Gentlemen?On June 1. 1896, these grounds auu the buildings erected thereon were dedicated to the honor and giorv or Tennessee. in com- j memoration of on event which transpired on Juno 1, 1796, aud as tribute to the men aud women who endured the hardships aud braved the dangers of frontier life in the wilderness west of tae Alle^humes, that they might found this great commonwealth. , "They loved the banner of onr country, with its little clns or of 15 stars; and the lapse of 100 years has not impaired the honor, iutegnty or patriotism of the peonle of Tennessee; for we love the aarno banner, with its glorious constellation of 45 stars, representing 45 sovereign states, whioh together constitute the greatest nation in the world. "The objects of this Centennial exposition are to oommemorate the past, present the advantages of the present and inspire hope for the future?the past, the preseut, the future of Tennessee?objects so laadible that the enterprise has received the approval of the government of the United States, congress having appropriated 1180,000 that the general government might be prop- ' erlv represented by a grand object les- j ion, showing the progress of the nation j curing tlje past 1?0 years. It has also 1 been approved by the authorities of the 1 state of'Teiinassoe. the legislature hav- j ing appropriated $53,000 in ora9r mac the history. the products and the re- j aources of the star? might be properly . presented. The county of Davidson and city of Nashville, realizing the honor j and advantage of having this grand centennial jabil?e within their borders, have donated $150,000; and other cities, counties and stares, corporations, firms and 10,000 individuals have augmented these appropriati >ns and douatious until a graifd total of $1,000,000 has been expeuded in preparing for this exposition. "Men in all ages have celebrated great eveuts by holidays, triumphal processions, graud festivals aud towering monuments, aud as Tennessee was the first state admitted into the Union formed from territory oeded to th? general government, it is appropriate that we celebrate our centennial anniversary by having a great exposition, showing I tue world that we have kept pace with our sister states and other nations in the progress of the age?in all the triumphs and glories of civilization. { "While this celebration is promoted by reverence for the past, it is also prompted by a desire to so advertise aud proclaim our advantages that thousj ands from other states aud other na; tions will come to see what we have accomplished and realize the marvelous I weaith of onr undeveloped resources. "The past century has not been one i of continuous peace aud prosperity, but j there have been periods of differences | and dangers that tried men's souls, yet i tnere nas own inure ui ?j ?u?.< of adversity, the improvemeuts Of tl? 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 p?u. ! and reioice in the advantages of the present, and it is hoped that the yonth of ths lana will so study these advan; Uges as-illustrated in the grand objeot I lesson of this exposition, that they will be inspired to undertake still greater Achievements and strive to reach perfection's heights, which are resplendent With the glories reflected from the eternal hills wherein dwells the Author of all wisdom and all power, Who rules ever the destinies of men and nations, and Whose bleesing we invoke upon oar exposition, opr state, our couutrvand upon tlM nations of tha earth, from pole to pole, from zone to soue, over trackless ooesu, from land to land, may the angelic anthem reverberate: Wory to (tod in the highest. Mid oa earth peace, good wtU toward men," * f I . , -J irmiiiKSe'* ItirilnUr. The inspiration of Tetinoss^o's irraat exposition. uo?v forniailv <?{? ????.{ to tee public with appropriate ceremonies, is embodt-d in tiii 8putsch nl President Tw>m-is above quoted. If lias been tlia custom of kings and emperors to commenu-rate their achievements by massive piles of granite or polished ruaibie shaft; Byrousays old Cheops built a pyramid to keoy hi? mem'ry whole aud mummy [ bid." It is litciuc that a great commonwealth should celebrate its lir?c birthday by an exhibit of its material resources so displayed as to reveal tlia culture that u reached only in the liign- , est civilization. . The Tennessee Centennial exposition has been fortunate in its selection of the desigus and nam m of in my of iti building*. It was a subject ui unfavorable comment fhit Atlanta corded Chicago so ciosolv in the nam -s of her buddings. Nashville has Daen more ongiu.il. Iiaproaucri >n< of th-? Parthenon, the Erechthenu. the Tower of B^hel, the Kiaito, ami Cheops pyramid give a hint of the classic taste that has tireTailed in providing buildings for au exposition of miterial things. Now that the gates have been thrown open to the world, and the great euter- ' prise auspioiotislv launched, people are beginning to ask thems Ives two leading questions: (1) What is there to j see? (2) What does it cost? To which , the faithful chronicler must make an- | swer: Almost everything; almost any- I thing. You can see all you hare eyes aud time to see; it will cost you anything you please. Mr. Charles E. Harman of Atlanta, general passenger agent of tne Western and Atlantic railroad, witnessed the ODeuiujr oeremouiea. Mr. Harmau was a director in the , Cotton States and International expos j tion at Atlauta. and therefore viewed I the Tennessee Centennial buildings and i grounds, in comparison with the build- j ings and ground* of the exposition at j Atlanta. Ha admits the grounds and ; buildings are finer than the grounds ! and bnildiugs at Arlauta, but claims the general pieturesqe effect of the At- j lauta grounds was greater than the effect at Nashville. The buildings are all covered with white staff and are architecturally ; beautiful. He says the Parthenon is the most i beautiful building lie has ever seen iu the United States, with th9 exception of the new Library buudiug at Washington D. 0. Ground* and llaltdlng*. Before beginning a tour of the buildings a glance at the whole cannot but be interesting. The grounds selected consist of 200 acres lying iu the western portion of the city and were formerly known as i West Side park. They can be reached j by three hue-' of electric and one of j steam cars. By sncn means the trip to the fair can be made from the hotels j and business portion* o' the oity in 8 ; minutes, or the distance may be cor- j ered on foot, through the residential j part of the city iu 20 minutes. The grounds hare been so improred as to make them most attractive and suitable for exposition purposes. The artiticial lakes, arbors and pavilions, to i gether with the grouping of the build- j in pa, present au aspect that ii wonderfully pleasing. When the millions of plants and flowers shall leud their beauty and fragrance to the scene it Will be truly enohantiug. The main buildings of the exposition are 15 iu number, and the exhinitsJiave been uivided into lo specific classes. The buildings are covered with staff, j and the Wmte City of Chicago, that has lingered so long in the memory with the gorgeonsness of a dream, will have a rivai in another White City that has risen on the banks of the Camber- [ laud to charm for a brief season the Tisiou of hundreds of thousands. Exhibit of Floe Art*. The largest and most elaborate build-. Ing is the Partlieuou. It is the centerpiece of the exposition and is an exact j reproduction of the Parthenou at Athens. The naves are in the Bhape of j the great Greek crosses, forming a square gallery at cither end aud two apartments, or alcove*, in the center. At these ends broad doors open out upon the doable columned porticoes. There are no windows in the building. The light furnished oomes from the roof, which is, in fact, one long window, or skylight, of itself. This building is the only one not constructed with staff. It is bnilt of brick and is entirely fireproof, as it is the repository of priceless treasures. Directly ! id front of this building stands the col- 1 lossal figure of Pallas Athene, by Miss ./Enid Yandell, a daughter of the late Dr. L. P. Yandell of Louisville, who was a Tenuesseeau. The figure is an exact reDroauctiou of the one that crowned the hill of Athens. This copy j is 25 feet high, although the original was 70 feet. Standing, as it does, iu front of the main entrance to the Par- ! tneuon, it occupies, without a doubt, the finest position in the park. The statue was made in Paris and recently shipped, j es Miss Yarnell has been pursuing her tcndiea abroad for the past two years. The Parthenon is appropriately devoted exclusively to the fine arts. People who love piotnres (and who does not?) will be pleased to know that the art exhibit is one of the finest ever seen in the sooth, the majority of the canvasses being well worthy of a plaoe under the olassio dome that shelters them. Many of the old masters are represented, as well a* the modern painters of this oonntry and abroad, who have distinguished themselves. Ilere may be seen pictures by Raphael, Corregio, Titian, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Muriilo; and of later date Hnguet, Mossouier, Troyon, Corot and others. Whether the art exhibit has been prepared with a special view to attracting the teachers ot the south, whose vacations will occur duriug the exposition. I do not know: this much is certain, i that thousands- of them have already turned their ey'9s towards the Parthsuon, and that the resorts- thev usually f?oi'~ jvit7i their presence \v 71 miss the:- ti > ; tfU'umar. The baugiug yf tho pictures was directed by Mr. Leon llnecker of Cincairo, who ii m cnar^e of tho couectioa. ALr. P. Tlnpklnwon Smith. ro favorably known as artist and author, is onb of the art judge* for the exposition. Tiie Cmnmoroi Hitildln;. The Commerce building (happily earned) is on? of the largest ou tiie grounds. This was called Manufacturers and Liinrai Arts at Cuio.igo and Atlanta, and it will contain tiie same character of exhibit*. It is situated on the western side of the park. The baiid -n. k- oxn r^t u?,i * (ilK in*3ti*uioji uj ~U\J id- v, ?u>. H great dome rises iu tlio middle to a height of 173 feet. The eontrai pavilion is two stories in height, the second story forming a gallery on either side 141 by 160 feet, overlooking the nave, and is reached by four broad stairvtavs, one at each end of the four corners. The general style is based on the Corinthian and Ionic orders of the GrecoRotuan. In this building may be found the finished products of tiie leading manufacturers of the world. Utility is tamped on every article, but so artistic is the urrougcraent that one wonders if mannfacturers have all turned artists, and if they have wrought for pleasure only ana not profit. V he Aadltorlnm. Just south of the Par :henon and within easy reach of the main entrance ;.s the Auditorium, which is (me of the most impressive buildiugs ou tl?i grounds. Tne iuteutiou is to use it for the meetings of large bodies. Many conventions which are to be held by various societies have determined to taxe advantage of the opportunity to attend the exposition, aud their sessions will be held iu the Auditorium. It is also proposed to hold pariiaineuts similar to those he:d iu Chicago during the World's Fair. The capacity of the building is about 7,000 people. The design is colonial iu form and Ioni.o in treatment. Four porticoes, facing tne o;?T>.^..r T\i~kii?ra nf tlin rnmniM.

Tne interior dimensions are 290 by 110 fc6t. Tne tower is 11) fojt high. The W?oliln?ry Hall ding. The Machinery building, which is ; 626 by 121 feet, is a nappy combination of solidity and foroa. It is a structure of the Roman-Doric order. It is the first building that greets the visitor as he enters the grounds. It is situated on a terraco, and in order that it may be nleasant and cool ou warm days the boilers and trroiu engines are sitaated La a power hoase' separate from the maiu building. The roof is high Mid the interior is commodious. Shade trees grow on three sides, and the powerhouse is almost hidden from view in the folia ;e.

It is (id feet to the top of the roof. The north end ol? the structure borders 011 the lake. Transportation Building. Between the Commerce and Agricultural t adding*, west of the Partne on, is tha Transportation building. On one side cf it lies Luke Watauga, and 011 the otner is a long, shady avenue. The dimensions of this building are 400 by 120 feet. Railroad tracks have been laid through it, with entrances from the north for engines and trains. The remainder of the floor space is divided into blocks of different sizes for the reception of smaller vehicles and other displays. Simplicity is the featnre of the design selected for the Transportation building. A most pleasing effect has been obtained without the use of a single oolumn, merely, iu the grouping of the masses aud proper proportioning. All structural ornamentation is in the most reflued classical style, brought into strong relief by the wall service, to which it leads beauty iu charm in return. Thi> AgrUealtaral Knlldln*. One of the finest buildings on the grounds :.s the Agricultural building, on a sloping elevation north of Laxe Watauga. The principal dome rises 100 feet at the center, and with six smaller domes, appropriately placed, the proportions appear especially pleating. The style of architecture is renaissance, aud the di mensions are IV25 by 175 feet Th,, nnnft.,nii1 iliVlrt front and re or. aT0 under area effects, while the ead and entrances pass through porticoes. Glass Is used in the doiues, and thus the light on tno exhibits will be strong and thoroughly diffused. The stuff on the exterior lends a charm and brilliancy to the design that would not otherwise have been secured, and the ornamentation and statuary, especially over the oath door, are handsome The state of Tennessee will place its exhibit under the magnificent dome, a spacioai plaoe. By the way, the visitors most look up here, for the dome is strikingl} decorated. The effects, wrought with grains, are wonderful. Messrs. Allison, the clue)', and J. Taylor Stratton. the assistan!: chief, have a department to make them feel proud. Tennessee is one of the great agricultural states of thesonthand it is only proper that the farms iibonld take a ieauing place in this exposition. There Will be fine displays of Traits, grains, ootton, tobacco and grasses under, the dome. Liberal prizes are offered by the department The people of Davidson, the capitol county, to whom so maoh is due for the'great success of the exposition will have their headquarters and makS their exhibits in this building.
