San Diego Progressing Rapidly Hold Golf Tournam€nt

The building program at the California Pacific International Exposition, the $10,000,000 international undertaking, which will open at San Diego on May 29, is making rapid progress.

Hundreds of men are at work in 1,40Gacre Balboa Park, with nearly a score of new exhibit palaces going up. Ground was recently broken for the Villages of the World, fun zone of the exposition. Leveling of a huge area for construction of five massive buildings is under way. Work on the 15 buildings of the "House of Pacific Relations" group is nearing completion.

New structures to be erected, for which plans have already been prepared, include the Palaces of Transportation, Electricity, Business Machinery, Varied Industry, Hall of Photography, several special buildings to contain individual displays, and others. Many will be larger than some of the huge buildings already erected in Balboa Park.

Restoration of the scores of magnificent structures in the park is nearly completed. Decoration of the interiors will begin shortly. This will be followed by the installation of exhibits.

The interest shown by leading businesses is growing rapidly as indicated by the increase in space reservations. Representatives in the New York, Chicago and San Francisco offices report a growing enthusiasm, which forebodes the success of the Exposition.

Twenty-three nations have pledged their participation in the Exposition. Many are planning extensive exhibits to augment their activities in connection with the "House of Pacific Relations." Departments in charge of various special phases of the Exposition are being organized. Work on the program has been under way for several months, with special days and events being arranged throughout the 167 days of the spectacle.
