Description:Excerpt from Report of the Philippine Exposition Board to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition: And Official List of Awards Granted by the Philippine International Jury at the Philippine Government Exposition World's Fair, St. Louis, Mo The task of collecting the material for the exhibit devolved upon Dr. Niederlein, who, as Director of Exhibits, was given sole charge of this work. He arrived in the islands for the purpose in October, 1902. The exhibit as completed is of itself a magnificent testimonial to his intelligence, zeal and energy, and is conceded by all to be the one surpassing feature of the World's Fair of 1904. Chairman Wilson made a brief visit to the Philippine Islands in May, 1903, to arrange plans for the work, and upon his return undertook the construction of the buildings and the beautifying of the grounds. Forty-seven acres of rolling country, lying for the most part, on an elevation of the southwestern section of the World's Fair grounds were assigned to the Philippine exhibit. The work of construction consisted in building a miniature city with streets and parks and complete sewerage, water and electric light and fire alarm systems. The ground plan included a central park or plaza, beautifully ornamented by the landscape gardener's art, the sides of the quadrangle being occupied respectively by the Cathedral, or Educational building, the typical Manila house, the Commerce building and the Government or Administration building, each of these beautiful structures being filled with appropriate exhibits. In addition, there are separate exhibit buildings devoted to forestry, to mines and metallurgy, to agriculture and horticulture, to fish and game and to ethnology, all artistically placed. A reproduction of the ancient walls of Manila commands the main approach to the Philippine grounds. After crossing a miniature reproduction of the Bridge of Spain which spans the Pasig river at Manila, the visitors enters the Philippine reservation through the Real gate, villages typical of Philippine life from the lowest grade to the better class surround the main buildings, while on the south side are the quarters, camps and parade grounds of the Philippines constabulary and the Philippine scouts. The "Manila Observatory," with a large out-door relief map on the east, and a hospital and office building in a convenient space on the west part of the grounds, and the usual complement buildings occupied by concessionaires, as restaurants, places of entertainment, and booths, complete the scheme. Each and every building constructed under Philippine auspices is typical of the islands. Vast quantities of bamboo and nipa brought from the archipelago were used in the construction of the native villages, as well as in the Forestry, Mines, Agricultural and Fish and Game buildings. The visitor familiar with Philippine scenes is struck with the accuracy of the reproductions which he beholds.
