Bazaar OF Nations commences to-nightat 7:S0
O'Clock. It will be grand success. This
prediction Is made without any qualification,
for none Is needed, Those who assembled to
the second story OF the state HOUSE yester-
day afternoon and evening became easily
satisfied that the prediction made would be
more than verified. As spectacular affair
II Ia such already, and the many little articles
that are TO be added today will transform
the dingy hall OF the House almost into fairy
land. The scene last night was q busy one

hundred ladies and gentlemen were busily
engaged in arranging the various booths. As
one pssjes around the room his admiration Ia
challenged as ne pauses before every booth and
when the has made the tour OF the large
room 1t Is hard to decide which Is the mcSs
artistic. Ali are pretty, and many are su-
perbly handsome. Several are backed by
charming scenes from the brush OF Artist

have also received much Of their attractive
appearance from the PAINTERS brush.
A DAINTY BOTH.
The French booth Ia the northeast corner
Is one OF the daintiest retreats imaginable.
On either side Is Germany aud England and
Scotland with their rich trappings. Spain Is

It's surroundings, an ideal representation Of
the lowly Irish cot. Turkey and Egypt,
with their oriental decorations, strange tig-
ures aud rich hanGiugs, are very pleasing.
Chira Is like everything Chinese, grotetque,
but bids fair to be an attractive point. Ju-
IDEAS interior represents the interior oil a
Jewish temple, and in many pa ticulaIs Is
historically correct Italy and Swi zerland
are very pretty combinations OF color and
effect. America and the two encampmsnts,
Indian and GipSy, are about complete and
are OF interest.
To fully describe the architecture and be-
longings Of all these booths could hardly be
done this morning, as 30 many little things
remained 10 be done lastievenipg. Besides, II
would largely detr4ot from the pleasure one
will have in looking for onesslf this even
ing. In addition to the booths, stream
ere, figs and evergreen ropes in1um-
cradle cover the walls and hang from the
chandeliers and galleries. Taken altogether,
the room presents beautiful appearance.
