going into an annex to the Agricultural
Bulldog, About one-fourth of the floor
space will be occupied by railway cars and
street cars, including the latest designs in
the way OF drawipg-room and sleeping
care. Baby carriages and perambulators
will also have place, and there will be a
section where carrlsgemakers' materials OF
all kinds will be shown. A good deal OF
room will be occupied by stoves, ranges
and heaters, which have been unavoidsbly
crowded out of the main building and
come in among the vehicles, because no
other place can be found for them. The
unity OF the exhibit is msrred by this
arrangement, but it could not well be
helped. A worlds fair can not be made
upon an exactsy stem. There are too many
contingencies which it Is impossible to
provide for. The special exhibit OF
THE BREWING INDUSTRY
of the United States will be an interesting
feature of the fair. 1t will be male in q
building 800 feet long by leo feet wide
erected at a cost of $50, 900, and now sp-
preaching completion. The funds hav
Deen raised by subscription. In the cente

the best machinery and appliances; while,

preparing them. In an annex to the build
ing so feet long by so wide will be shown
all kinds of beer, ale, and porter OF Euro
pean and American make Hers will also
| be an ice house with capacity of 200 tons.
| The committee having charge OF the ex-
hibit are going to publish a pamphlet OF
statistics, and promise to prove by figures
that in comparison to population there pre-
walls in beer drinking countries less
drunkenness and crime and a lower rate
of mortality than il New England states
where pronlbitory laws are in force.
Whatever may be thought of these figures
the unique exhibit of the brewers Will net
| fail to attract general attention. Nothing
| like it was attempted at the great fans IN
Europe. The exhibits for the United States
| government building are fast coming 10
| From the war department there are all sorts
of weapons from old wall pieces to modern
mitrailleuses, and complete sets of muske
making and cartridge making machinery
