The Grand Industrial Exhibition Commission
ers to the ErhibStion- Complaints Of Artists
The probable number of competitors in the Oympmn
games Of industry, which viii open In few days at
Paris, is estimated at 1900 or lsc0o. Only ninety
American exhibitors have thus far sent in their appca
tons for admission. At moment indeed, 1t seemed
possible that the Commissioners appointed by the Cover
Of several States would outnumber the exhibitors
The Imperial Commission is less frightened this point
than 1t was q short time ago There are, believe but
eight American commissioners actually in Paris and the
space Of square feet allotted to the American de-
partment in the Palace Of Industry is not yet much
crowded with productions Of art and industry to leave
room for more At recent special meeting of the
Central Committee Of the American Commissonsrs Mr.
Maupse B, Field Of New York. was unanimously chosen
who had resigned, and who received unanimous vote
Of thanks from his colleagues for the patriotic zeal with
which he had exercised the functions OF chairman.
Mr.. Daniel E. Gilman, Of Connecticut, Secretary; Mr.
Marshall Woods OF Rhode Island, Special Commissioned
for the Department Of Fine Arts, and Mr.. Charles
Fleischmann, Special Commissioner of Arrangement
Mr.. Valentine, Of Massachusetts,, Mr. Williams of Rhode
Island, Mr. Galpn, of Connecticut and Mr.. Alexandra
vatemars who represents the States of New York. vr
