South Carolina, $63,900; South Dakota, $35,000; Tennessee, $140,000: Texas, $100,000; Utah, $60,000; Virginia, $100,000; Washington, $105,000; West Virginia, $95,000; Wisconsin, $175,000; Wyoming, $25,000. A number of States whose Legislatures meet early in January. 1904, have increased their appropriations. The grand total of these appropriations to December, 1903. was $6,739,986. At Chicago's Columbian Exposition the States appropriated a total of $5.524.928. Most of the pavilions erected by these States are located in the southeast corner of the Fair Grounds, where they are served closely by the Intramural Railroad: some of them, however, which offered special features, received special allotments of space in other portions of the grounds.

As with the foreign nations, a number of States reproduce their historic buildings; thus Louisiana reproduces the Cabildo at New Orleans, where the formal transfer of the Louisiana Territory from France to the United States took place in 1803. New Jersey supplies a copy of the headquarters of Gen. Washington at Morristown, N. J. Virginia reproduces Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. Mississippi builds Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis. Tennessee builds the Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jackson. Connecticut presents the fine Sigourney mansion at Hartford. Texas erects a building shaped like a five-pointed star to symbolize its name of the "Lone Star State." Alaska flanks its building with totem poles. California reproduces the Santa Barbara Mission Building. Maine builds a typical log cabin hewn from rough lumber by lumbermen. Oregon reproduces Fort Clatsoo, erected for winter quarters by the Lewis and Clark expe

fir.

As the Intramural turns north on the Plateau of States visitors are enabled to get a fine view of the State buildings without leaving the cars. These are all massed to the left of the passenger. He sees, in order. the small but pretty Arizona Building, with its frieze of various colored ores around horseshoe arches: the lantern-crowned_Iowa Pavilion, the pergola-shaded Kansas Building, the expansive New York State Building, the Massachusetts Building. which reproduces the old State House on Beacon Hill: the Ohio Building, with its domed roof. and the great Missouri Building, the largest and most expansive of the State buildings on the Fair Grounds. This building. exclusive of sculpture, cost $105,000. A cold-air refrigerating system, protected by air-locks, keeps this building cool at all times. A fine dome, visible from all parts of the grounds, crowns this building. A promenade around the dome enables the visitors to get a view of the exhibit palaces below and of the other State buildings disposed around. This building is connected with the Government Building by a fine stairway approach, flanked by statues of Napoleon by John Gelert and Jefferson by James E. Fraser.

Station No. 14 of the Intramural is located at this point. This is another place at the top of a hill where visitors may alight to walk down the slopes to study the fine landscape and architectural effects.

From Station No. 14 the Intramural runs along a high trestle for a distance of about 1,000 feet. This is necessary to make the descent from the upper plateau, on which are located the State buildings, to the lower level, on which are the exhibit buildings. Just before the train reaches this trestle the visitor gets a fine view of the United States Government Building.

The Intramural at this point passes close to the green steel-picket fence which separates the Exposition Grounds from Forest Park. The visitor thus obtains a good view of the finest park in the country. To observe the features of the Exposition he must look constantly to his left. Passing the Government Building he next sees the Liberal Arts Building, in which were held the dedicatory exercises, and passes close to the barracks of the United States Marine Corps and the United States War Field Hospital. He sees the Triumphal Causeway through which the dedication parade marched-a_composition of standards and obelisks connected by textile festoons. He sees the Press Building erected with the same timbers twice before once at the Buffalo Exposition and again at the Charleston Exposition.

The Intramural next passes the Model City Street in which have been installed model public utilities by various States and communities. Here, for instance, Atlanta has erected a model railway station, and the National Cash Register Company a group of model workmen's dwelling-houses. In this street is located the Day Nursery and House of Rest for Women. where visitors may, for a small consideration, leave their infants, with the assurance that they will be well taken care of.

Close to the Day Nursery, which fronts on the main avenue of the Exposition, and which is also close to the main entrance by which the visitor entered, the Intramural makes its second terminal loop. From this loop the road retraces its course on a parallel track until the first terminal loop where our visitor started is again reached. These two loops are a little over 600 feet apart, being separated only by the main central avenue GUIDE TO THE EXPOSITION CONTINUED ON PAGE XXIV.

When the visitor has made the round trip of the Intramural he will have caught only glimpses of the "Main Picture" of the Exposition made up of the Cascade Gardens and eignt giant exhibit buildings. He will also have obtained only back-door views of the Concessions street. These parts of the Exposition must be seen on foot, in push-chairs, in automobile chairs or in launches.

lagoon is 300 feet wide. This central avenue is further enriched by the Louisiana Purchase Monument, a towering. sculpturedecked shaft, and a number of fine equestrian and portrait statues by famous American sculptors. All the buildings in the main picture are ivory white, with mural paintings on screen walls and in shaded places. All the palaces on the main avenue have colonnaded facades and three of them show inner courts of great beauty. The palaces in the main picture are the following:
