The Fine Arts Exhibition-for which an entirely
separate edifce has been erected-is and for days
has been, complete so far as it goes, though new
works still pour in, and men engaged in filling
with them the two or three galleries not already
occupied The "annexe," or long, narrow gallery
along the Seine devoted to moving machinery,
coarse, heavy products and raw materials is still a
barn, and can hardly be made fit to receive visitors
for week or more. Let me speak, then, mainly
of the Fine Arts Department, which alone is ac-
tually ready for exhibition.
The catalogue of this d, partment of the " Uni
"versal Exposition" already covers 59l pages and
epumerates SIP works on exhibition, though
many have been added since it was completed, and
every day increases the number OF exhibitors. The
living Art of twenty-sx foreign countries appears
to be represented though seven of these are com
monty included in Germany and four are political
divisions of Italy. The number OF works exhibited
by artists of the several countries is as follows:
