South Gardens:

Fountain of Energy (center) - A. Stirling Caller
Directly opposite the main entrance, the most conspicuously placed
fountain in the grounds. The four major figures in the bowl represent
the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the two Arctic oceans. The minor eight
figures suggest the marine character of the fountain. The reclining
figures on the sphere typify the two hemispheres. The youth on horseback
represents energy and strength.

The Mermaid (fountains in long pools) - Arthur Putnam
The same figure is used twice, near the Horticultural Palace on the west
and Festival Hall on the east.
