THE CANADIAN PAVILION.

The style of the Canadian Pavilion at the World’s Fair is Henry Vll Gothic. The building was designed by Lawrence Fennings Taylor, one of the Dominion Government’s architects, and built under the immediate supervision of William Hutchison, Commissioner of Expositions for Canada. The building is a model place in which the visitors may rest, and, where, while recuperating for further sight-seeing, they may receive some idea, in other ways, of the magnitude and possibilities of the Canadian domain. It is in a most desirable central position, between the Agriculture Palace, the Floral Clock and the Forestry, Fish and Game Building, and in proximity to the British, French, Ceylon, Belgium, Italy, and the Administration buildings of the 'Exposition. Surrounded by verandas the interior room is beautified with mural work, which depicts, in a series of pictures, some of the history of Canada. Off the main room are others, in which hang a hundred pictures of Canadian scenes. At the rear are large paintings, showing in stages the advance made in ten years by the settler on the Canadian prairies.
