Norfolk, Va., Feb. 7. -On the south- ern shores of historic Hampton Roads, eight miles from the city of Norfolk, the Jamestown Tern -Centennial- ex- position is rapidly nearing comple- tion. Every department of the work ls being carried on with marvelous speed, and what was Only a year ago, an attractively laid out park, has be- come an exposition beautiful, with im- mense exhibit palaces, state and gov- ernment buildings, all under roof, and for the most part of permanent con- struction. The auditorium and conven- tion hall, one of the principal build- ings of the exposition, is entirely com- plete and is being used temporarily for the offices of the governor of works, of the exposition, and his able corps of assistants, who are carry- ing on the work with such credit. The state's exhibit palace, the larg- est and most imposing structure on the grounds, containing more than 350,000 square feet of exhibit space, is also complete and will be turned over by the contractors in a few days to the exposition company, at which time the installation of the various exhibits of the resources of the dif- ferent states will begin. The commercial pier of the exposi- tion, extending out into Hampton Roads for a distance of some 2,000 feet, was finished several woks ago, and is now being used to bring in the construction material for the many buildings now in the course of ere& don. The various state buildings, grouped along the water front of the expooltion, are going up with remark- able rapidity, those of Rhode Island, New Jersey and Connecticut, being ready for occupancy and those of Vir- ginia, Maryland, Massachusetts and Ohio, almost as far advanced. The many attractions of the War Path, that will correspond with the \Pike\ or \Midway\ of former expositions. presents a lively picture of activity. Push and progress are everywhere in evidence and the work on the grounds and general landscape design, under the careful supervision of the architects in charge, together with the advanced state of construction of the buildings, gives every assurance that the Jamestownt Tep-Centenalal exposition will be completed in every detail, for the opening date, April 28, 1307.
