WHERE THE TRICOLOUR OF FRANCE WAVED WITH OLD GLORY. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT PAVILION, PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, SAN FRANCISCO. United States Thomas R. Marshall on March 26 paid his official respects to the various pavilions of the foreign nations at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco. As the reached the Palace of the Legion of Honor, the French national pavilion, the tri-colour broke to the breeze side by side with Old Glory, while the strains of America were quickly followed by the Marseillaise. The French pavilion is an exact reproduction of the famous Palace of the Legion of Honor in Paris, and by special arrangement the formal opening of the pavilion had been deferred dent of the United States would be the first person to step within it. France has established an exposition record in the construction of this pavilion. The plans were drawn in three days after ment had spent £400 in one cablegram forwarding the general specifications. After this, three shifts of workmen were employed, and the £20,000 pavilion came into being like a magic palace, stone, and the effect of this has been admirably preserved. On slightly rising ground, facing north toward San Francisco Bay, this noble edifice commands a conspicuous site. It is one of the pavilions to greet the visitor passing along the beautiful Avenue of the Nations. To the left of the picture are the pavilions and gardens of Japan.
