New Jersey Will Take Part in the
Madrid Display.

What promises to be very remarka-
ble exhibition will be held in Madrid
from the 10 of September to tue l3tn OF
December. 1892, thus commemorating. in
Spain, the fourth centennial of the dis
covery of America. Already preparations
have been made in the Uuited st ties to
the end that our exhibit may be of the
highest scientific and historical value,
and particularly in Philadelphia. COM
mittee of distinguished gentlemen have
the matter In charge. Among them is
DIR. Charles Abbot, the antiquarian aud
author. foimerly Of tuis city, but now. of
the University of Pennsvlvania.
Through his instrumentalty, efforts
are being made 10 have collections from
New Jersey sent 10 Spain where, in the
palace OF the Library and National
Museum, the objects will be exhi tied.
The following classification has been
adopted 81 Prehistoric America. which
will include plans aud models of cavern
dwelling, aS well as implements of vari-
Gus kinds. There Will also be articles
belonging to the paleoithia and neolitnic
periods, such as have. been found
In the Trenton gravels. Q. Historic
Period, including ancient American,
dwellings. monuments aud evidences
of the pictorial art. 8. Indian ID-
dustrial Arts, comprising clothing, war
implements, jewels, pottery, economic
apparatus and native documents. etc. a.
Cartography, showing maps, plans. YES.
sci, models. ETC., anterior to the time Of
Columbus, as well as during the discov-
cry Of America. There will also be an
exhibition of the fine arts from tine dis
covery of America to the middle of the
the XVIII. century.
The University of Pennsylvania will
alone send 5000 objects from New Jersey.
But what the committee most earnestly
desire Is that people in this Safe, and
especially near Trenton, where Indian
antiquities abound, shall forward to DR..
Abbott. at the Library Of the University
of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, any coll
lectons or parts thereof which would be
valuable in Madrid.
From the time such a series of objects
leaves Philadelphia until 1t returns, it
will be absolutely free of expense to the
exhibitor and will have every care In
Madrid. Magnificent medals are TO be
awarded as prizes, for the Spanish gov
ernment is leaving nothing unaccom-
plished that an exhibition worthy her
and US will pass into history. Mo cover
this exhibit in no way interferes with the
Chicago Fair, and already exhibitors are
arranging TO take their collections to
both Madrid and the West.
The many collections throughout the
State are worthy of place at Madrid,
and it Is to be hoped that New Jersey
honored as she has been az the home of Il
former Spanish king. will send to old
Spain the choicest of her antiquities.

murrer. Organizer Brown was not visible
