The Diary: Pan American Expo

	The Diary:

		P A G E.  37.

	The hotel verandah was always filled with visitors, who took pleasure
	in watching the large crowds pass by on their way to the exposition
	grounds. This monstrous hotel, ( said to have been the largest in the
	world ) was always filled with people. Bell boys, by the dozens, were on
	hand to run errands etx for the guests. The hotel was supported by large
	massive pillars several  feet in diameter. It was brightly decorated on
	the interior with bunting with the Pan American colors.On the first
	floor was a drug store for the hotel guests, and an large covention
	hall.On the second floor, a doctor and a barber shop.The hotel had
	2,200 sleeping rooms. Each bed was white enameled, brass trimmed.
	Accomodations were to had for 5,000 people. At 9 A.M. Wednesday morning
	we started for the exposition again and at a short distance from the 
	hotel came to an arched bridge spanning Scajaquada Creek. Underneath
	this bridge could be seen a smooth,winding,macadamized roadway called
	the Scajuaquada Drive. A short diatance away this road passed under a 
	large stone arch completely covered with green trailing vines and 
	emerging at the otherside passed in graceful curves aroudn the beautiful
	Alright Art Gallery,( an exposition building of white marble). situated
	on a high terrace, ornamented with statuary and lawns with beautiful
	flowers in great profusion. It was built after an ancient Greek Temple.
	The front entrance was supported by tall marble pillars .
