The boy who started from home to
walk to the Centennial is being picked up
hungry and repentant by policemen in all
parts OF the country.
The total number Of admissions to
the Exposition on Saturday, the 9th UT,
was 27,,7lO. OF these 20,09l paid cash,
Exhibitors 1919 apd complimentary $40.
French people in New York will give
a banquet and ball to the skilled artisans
who are to be sent by the French Gov
eminent TO examine the Centennial Exhi-
Jition.
Gilmore, of Jubilee fame, has teen
placed in charge Of the musical part OF;
the programme for the Fourth OF July
celebration in Philadelphia. Arrange
ments are to be made on large scale,
and there will be cheruses such as Boston
never attempted All the effects of can
non, anvils and other appliances will he
used.
One Of the most interesting features
now in the Exhibition grounds is the dis
play Of rhododendrons made by Mr.. Wa
tiers, of London, England. The Horti-
cultural Bureau announces the arrival OF
large number OF tree ferns from Austria
LA, which are now being planted In the
hall. The vessel in. which they arrived
was five months on the voyage and the
ferns were materially injured during that
time.
The Samese Amba ssadors TO the
Centennial Exhibition left Bangkok on
the 18th Of May, bound for Philadelphia.
They intend passing through the Empire
of Japan, and will arrive at San Francis
co by Pacific Mail steamer. Gen. Part.
ridge, American Consul General, left with
the Ambassadors, and intends making a
yis.t To the Exhibition. This is the first
time that Siam has been represented off,
cially at any Worlds Fair.
The building erected by the bankers
and brokers, near Memorial Hall, was
formally opened on the morning Of the 3Oth
ult., nearly al the bank officers Of the
city were present, and also 500 from New
York, who came up by special trains.
Many more came from other cities, and
the opening was IA notable event. After a
prayer and the opening address, a hissori-
cal address, showing the history of bank
ing In America during the past 100
years, was delivered by Hon. Elbridge
Spauldng, OF Buffalo. Other addresses
followed.
Considering the great and increasing
demand tor porcelain in the American
market, it is not surprising that the French
manufacturers have sent large exhibits ia
the Centennial, including some of the
finest specimens ever produced. The dis.
play In many OF its features is unpesa,.el-
ed certainly there was nothing liie il in
Vienna, Whether the art has progressed
so decidedly in three years, CT whether
the porcelain. makers did no. care to send
their choicest wares to the Exhibition OF
1878, do not know, though inclining 10
The latter opinion The exhibits here are
arranged near the rotunda of the Main
Building, at the beginning Of the French
department as one comes up from The
main entrance. Half n dozen firms ar,
represented. and their space occupie,
nearly 100 square feet.--Cor Chscag'
