People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 March 1895 — The Atlanta Exposition. [ARTICLE]
The Atlanta Exposition.
The Terraces between Piedmont avenue and Jackson street will be devoted to amusement features. Imagine a street, curving along the slope, with a continuous succession of picturesque structures; the adobe houses and bamboo huts of the Mexican and Gautemalian village* and the wigwams of the Indians, in striking contrast with, the antique designs of the Oriental village, and the quaint oi curious architecture of the Japanese, the Eskimo, the German and the Chinese villages. Prominent among the other structures will be Hagenbeck’s Arena of Trained Wild Animals, and the monkey house with 740 of these queer animals, representing specimens of almost every known variety. The Vaudeville Theater, the Palace of Illusion, the Mystic Maze and the Seen icßail way will afford infinite amusement, and as a sort of climax Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, at the end of the street, will be the resort of thousands of pleasure seekers. The villages will be among the best features, and will be occupied by real people of the countries typified. In the Mexican village some interesting archaeological remains from the ruins of Palenque will be exhibited, and the Oriental collection is expected to be the best yet produced.
