SOUTHWEST, FROM THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING—The view southwest from the roof of the United States Government Building embraced a great number of attractive objects. The east lagoon and more than half the Wooded Island appeared conspicuously in the foreground, and there was no elevated place in the grounds from which the island and lagoon could be seen together that did not command a sight worth seeing, for any lover of the beautiful. To the left, immediately m front, is the Fire and Guard Station, and a little beyond the northwest scorner of the Manufactures Building uprears itself. Over that is afforded an excellent view of the north facade of the Electricity Building, and above it, again, towers the dome of the Administration Building. To the right, the whole north front of the Mines Building is shown, though its details were not such as to be conspicuous at such a distance. The features of the Transportation Building, further to the right, are brought out well, however, its ” Golden Door, with the lateral details being plain to view. Still further to the right, Choral Hall and the southeast corner of the Horticulture Building are visible, Choral Hall especially standing out distinctly against its shadowy background. A great place for gatherings was Choral Hall, and here the late Mayor Harrison made on state occasions some of his most original addresses. In the water of the lagoon, so perfect was the photograph from which comes the illustration, may be seen the shadows of flags on the towers of the Manufactures Building.
