Director-General Buchanan, in Speech ata Banguet, Points Out the Great Opportunity for the City of St. Louis. ‘From a Post Dispatch Correspondent. BUFFALO, May 2.—The visiting di- rectors of the St. Louis World's Fair were Conspicuous today in the brilliant parade that characterized the dedication of the Pan-American Exposition. President Fran- cis of St. Louls and President Milburn of -Buffalo occupied a carriage together and behind them was the long Iine of carri- ages containing directors of both the fairs. The Missouri commissioners were also ‘fin the parade, one of the largest and most attractive ever seen in New York state. ‘The directors from St. Louis passed all of Sunday in the exposition grouds as guests of the management. They carefully inspected buildings and Jandscape, investigated the sewer system and inquired into the expense of every- ‘thing. They traveled about the grounds in groups, each paying special attention to subjects which most interested them. President Francis, with C. H. Spencer, C. ’ Knapp, D. M. Houser, D. C. Stetgers and Secretary Steve constituted one | group that paid particular attention to con- struction and finance. It was manifest that the visit to Liuffalo was one purely of busi- ness, with no junketing feature. it was 6 ‘clock when the party were returned to the Sroquots Hotel, where at 8&8 o'clock they | were given a splendid banquet by the Pan- ‘American directors While the dinner Was | in progress Senator Mark Hanna entered and was greeted with tumultuous cheering. A toast to the health of President Francis ‘was drunk standing and in response Mr. Francis sald: “Speaking for Only say that we are with what we huve seen you Buffalo’ people have done marvelous | things for the money you have had in hand | and for the time you have had in prepara- tion. The color scheme is a thing of beau- ty. It alone would repay a journey of a {Yhousand miles. What is known the Midway far surpasses what Chicago had, being on a more extensive scale and on a higher plan.”’ Director-General Buchanan, who has been gpoken of as a probable dirt ctor-general of the Loulsiana Purchase Exposition, spoke as follows: “You will celebrate in your exposition an historical epoch in the story of our nation. You have an ideal surrounded by legend and fomance, for yours is to be a world-wide exposition.” He.spoke of the failure of Buffalo to se- cure national aid and said he was ziad of it, as he believed federal aid with strictions was more harmful than good, “Buffalo built and paid for her entire ex- s position,” he said. “it was better so.
