of spray showing all the colors of the rainbow, as did that of the smaller
ones to the right and left.

And what a ravishing sight was that of the Administration Building with
its corona of light, its dome, arches, and angles outlined with those
brilliant lights, as were those of the Peristyle also, and of the grand
structures between--Manufactures, Electricity, and Arts on the north side,
Machinery and Agriculture on the south--and the beautiful fountains
throwing spray of all the colors of the rainbow.

"What a magnificent sight!" "How lovely!" "How beautiful!" exclaimed one
and another as they moved slowly onward, gazing from side to side.

"Let us go into the Administration Building," said Mr. Dinsmore.

All were willing, and they sauntered on toward it, still gazing
delightedly as they went.

Reaching its doorway they paused for a few moments to look at the statue
of Columbus, represented as landing with the Spanish flag in his hand, and
to listen to the inspiring music of the bands; then passed on into the
interior which they found as artistic and wondrously beautiful as the
outside.

After feasting their eyes upon the lower part they took an elevator--of
which there were six--and went up to the upper promenade, which they found
also very beautiful, giving lovely views of the surrounding grounds. The
vault of the dome was ornamented with allegorical paintings, some of them
commemorating Columbus' discovery of America.
