The Diary: Pan American Expo

The Diary: P A G E. 72. Cont'd on page. 74 Opposite the Electricity Building, a green lawn ornamented with statuary sloped to the asphalt walk, forming the Sunken Garden. Flags of all nations fluttered from the windows and the many towers of the buildings. We will again turn our attention to Alt Nurnberg, the German Village. It was a large building and made to represent stone work. At one corner was a large sqare tower with a pointed roof , at the corners of which were tall minarets. The windows in the tower were all barrred with steel. At the large door at the entrance stood a large Nurnberg guard. He wore a broad hat, high boots, carried a long speear and his queer uniform was covered with medals of every description. The upper parts of the building consisted of high walls and turrets and four cylindrical towers. This village was made to represent the old German city of Nurenmerg ( Nurnberg ) situated in Bavaria, a kingdom of German. Inside this was a restuarant and from reports very high prices were charged. A few steps farther and we stand before the entrance to the " Johnstown Flood " another Midway attraction. It represented a stone fort with battlements raised upon the top for soldiers use during war. The Bally hoo consisted of several musical selections on the piano and several wonderful cornet selections by a young lady.
