The record at PHILADELPHIA would seem
10 indicate that Great Britain's success
as an exhibitor lay largely with its colo
MES. The home Government appropri-
ated S2J, 900 for the purposes of the art
exhibit, and gave some help % exhibit
ors, but 10 was far behind some of its
colonial Governments. The Dominion of
Canada appropriated 100000, and its
provinces $4,000 more. Cape Good
Hope betrayed the entire expense of ex-
hibtOrs, as did also New South Wales.
The latter appropriated $40, 900 for that
purpose. South Australia appropriated
$500 and Tasmania assumed the entire
cost of exhibiting. Victoria spent Sl5, 900
purchasing exhibits, appropriated S44, 900
for expenses, and assumed the cost of
exhibiting. Apparently the colonial
Governments spent over ten times as
much as the home Government.
Japan appropriated $500. 900 and paid
all the expenses of it's exhibitors. The
Netherlands also looked after its exhib-
itors. as did also Switzerland. Sweden
and Norway appropriated $4,000 and
Tunis $50. 900.
At Paris, in 1899. Mexico led in the
size of its appropriation. devoting

tine Republic was second, with $1,000
900. Both countries erected special
buildings.

out of the Government Treasury. 1t was
raised by private subscription. Belgium

what il gave for the Centennial. and
Bolivia put $50, 900 into special build
ing. Brazil used $500. 900 on its exhibit.
and Denmark more than doubled its
Centennial appropriation, putting its
figures at $4,000. Ecuador used S2O.-
900. raised by private subscription, and
put up "A special building. Egypt
thought il was worth S24,OO and gave
that much.
Great Britain's reputation was largely
upheld by her colonies as before. The
Sl35,0C0 she gave was raised by sub
scriptiOn, and il was left 10 colonial
Governments to make appropriations,
which many of them did. The figures,
however. are not known.
Greece gave 100000 out of the Treas
ury and Finland S26, 900 in private
money. Guatemala gave $50 900. Italy
SO, 0O0 and Japan 100000 (less than
half of what she used Tor the Centen-
niaD. Nicaragua and Portugal gave
500. 900 each, and erected special build
ings. Roumania also touched the $780,
900 mark and Spain put Sl45, 900 into a
special building. San Domingo gave
$4,000. Servia S44. 900 and Sweden and
Norway S25, 900, something of a drop
