sweep away the accumulated rubbish. Under
competent direction they put calico extin-
guishers on the unfinished portions. In the
same manner they hid the empty courts with
crimson screens, thus giving matters festive
appearance, and by noon next day everything
was ship shape. Vienna must follow this ex-
ample.
THE BROOM TRIUARHs.

story Of the opening once told.
IN THE VAST RorUNDA
I take my position under the dome, of
which let it suffice for me to say that it is an
enormous structure and twice the size Of its
prototype, the dome of St Peters at Rome.
Beneath this dome, in the centre, is raised
circular garden, with green turf, rhododen-
drons and fountain. Other objects, wanting
in anything like taste, are rather advertise
ments for the exhibitors than any ornament
to the Rotunda. The only artistic feature is
o graceful statue Of
AUSTRIA WELCOMING THE WORLD.
There are also twin figures Of Austria and
Hungary The one is armed with spear and
the other is leaning on shield Opposite the
south portal is

covered with deep crimson cloth, on which
are placed some eighty chairs. To the left are
the seats appropriated to the ladies Of the
Diplomatic Corps. To the right are the
chairs for the Emperor's special guests. The
exhibitors, the friends Of the Imperial Com
mission, the newspaper correspondents, are
gathered at special places rallied of, with the
central point free To reproduce the coup
d ea you may
IMAGINE THE VAST AMPH1rHEATRE FILLED
with every variety, male and female, of respect
ably dressed humanity, the gentlemen in
swallow-tails and white cravats. Fortunately,
Austria is q military nation, and this dreary
funereal monotony is dashed with splendid
points and splashes of brilliant color in the
greatest variety.
STRONG SEASONING OF SALT.
Here were to be seen the true salt Of the
eerth; their High Mghinesses and their
Serene Transparancies, all blazing with orders
and radiant with bright ribbons here was
perfect kaleidoscope Of warriors Of Austria,
Hungary and Bohemia, Of all ages and grades;
veterans who had served with Radetzky,
beardless youngsters, whiskered pandours and
fierce hussars; men who would willingly sacri-
fee the fattering prospects Of an era Of peace
for the chance to retrieve Sadowa.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR AND HIS LADY.
Precisely OF the hour Of noon the grand col
lective orchestra and the choirs massed in the
colorado burst forth into mighty sound,
and the strains of the national anthem swelled
on the air. The Emperor was at the entrance
of the buildingl The Emperor and Empress
Elizabeth alghted before the south portal
from the State carriage, drawn by six horses
Drawn up before the portal stood, in full Field
Marshals uniform, the Archduke Charles
Louis, the patron of the Exhibition, and the
Baron Schwarz, its President, the latter Of
whom presented the Emperor with bouquet.
CROWD OF BIG BUGS.
Following the Emperor and his wife came
the Crown Prince Rudolph Of Austria, the
