An Ohio Worlds Fair Commissioner
has estimated that the exhibitors from
his State will spend upwards of s5,0O0,-
900 in the preparation of their exhibits
for the exposition.
The California building at the fair will
be an imposing structure of the "old-
mission" type, ll0x500 feet, with q
dome, and costing about $75, 900. 1t will
be surrounded by hedge OF Monterey
cypress.
Vermont will have building at the
exposition without drawing on the State
appropriation for the cost of its erection.
One hundred substantial citizens have
guaranteed $4,000 for that purpose, each
pedging himself to pay 800.
Denmark will spend about $500 in
showing as a leading feature of its
Worlds Fair exhibit Danish dairy COM
plete and in operation. The dairy in
terest is one of the most important in
Denmark, and the most approved meth
ods and mechanical appliances are util-

cutting, finishing and decorating depart
ments until the finished product is
turned out. The factory plans call for a
structure, 125x200 feet, of stone, iron
and glass and with an imposing dome.
The firm intends to spend $40, 900 on the
building alone.
Italy will make no government display
at the exposition. The King, however,
has recognized the fair by appointing a
commission, and Minister of State Ru-
DIM has informed Vice President Bryan
and Director Higinbotham that the gov
ernment will encourage individual ex-
hibitors in every way possible. He init
mated that it wd 4 even pay for the
transportation of a.l exhibits. Mr.. Hig,
inbotham reports there is throughout
Italy much enthusiasm over the exposi-
tion.
The Bristol [England) Chamber of
Commerce has undertaken to furnish an
exhibit for the exposition that will
doubtless attract great deal of atten-
ton. In addition to representation OF
the manufactures OF the place the ex-
hibit will show much in illustration OF
the lives and discoveries of John and
Sebastian Cabot, upon whose early Amer
lean explorations is based England's
claim to its past and present possessions
in this country. The Merchant Ventur-
ers' Guild has agreed to contribute Cabot
relics, of which it has large collection.
Mr.. Barlusow of st. Petersburg, Rus
sia, dealer in fine Oriental goods, in
tends to exhibit in the exposition rare
carpets, shawls, hangings and textile
fabrics from the far Orient. He will fur
nish number of rooms in rich Oriental
styles, representing the residences of the
wealthy Mohammedans OF Asia and by
way of contrast the tents of the nomad
tribes of the Kirguiz Tartars. Some Of
the apartments will be in the style OF
the Caucasus; others in the Bokhara and
Chiva styles. The furniture and decora-
tions for these apartments have been for
the most part collected at great expense
in the remote Orient. Suirnow u Co. OF
the same capital will exhibit complete
suit of apartments of "Boyar" or
wealthy Russian noble of the twelfth
century and also the cabin of the rich
Russian peasant OF modern times. Each
of these exhibits will be in separate
pavilion of distinctively Russian archi-
| lecture.
