official publications, to be every
numerous and rapidly increasing"
The exhibits Of foreigners will be
admitted at our custom houses free
of duty. No charge is to be made
for space for exhibits. They will
begin to be received November I,
1892, and continue to be received
till April 10, 1898. Everything in
the exhibition proper can be seen
for the single entrance fee, prob
ably so cents. There will be spe-
cial attractions in the nature Of
"side shows" for which there will
be an extra charge. "The Street
in Cairo" and the "Maori Village"
along with cycloramas, sliding
railways, ETC., are examples of the
the extra attractions. Another in
teresting feature of this sort will
be furnished by Germany. It is
proposed to build on an ample space
a German town, with all it's pic
turesque adjuncts. There will be
erected from thirty to forty houses
to represent a German medieval
town, planned after such architec-
tural gems as may be found in
towns like Nuremberg. In the
houses are to be fitted shops and
! stores, which will be let to
prominent German manufacturing
firms, especially those engaged
in industrial arts. The exhibitors
will demonstrate in public the man
ner of manufacturing their goods,
and, besides exhibiting them, they
will be allowed to sell. Connected
with the town by gateway will be
a little stretch in miniature of rural
Germany, in which will be built
farm houses typical OF those used
by the various German tribes. Adj
joining the town and the country
strip viii be a large German castle,
which is to be made not only pic
turesque, but useful, in that it will
probably be placed in the hands of
caterer, who will undertake to
furnish it's cellars with choice old
German wines. Gateways are to
lead also to a concert garden capa-
BILE of seating at the tables 10000
persons, and in which only German
drinks will be sold. Two bands of
music, brought over from Germany,
will furnish entertainment after
noon and evening in this garden.
Japan will put up building at
the Fair, in the style of a thousand
years ago, to cost 100000 The
Japanese commissioners arrived at
San Francisco recently. They
have 100000 at their disposal,
and say a great deal Of interest is
manifested in the Fair in Japan.
A site for the Chilean Governments
building at the Fair was approved
a short time ago. 1t is located on
the main driveway. Sites for seven
other Central and South American
Governments were also approved.
William Saunders, Commissioner
for Canada, has applied for 100000
square feet of space in the Fair
buildings, to be occupied by the
Canadian exhibits. New South
Wales, through Special Commits
sioner Campbell, has asked for
100000 square feet. The Grounds
and Building Committee have
granted a site, $50 by 600 feet, for
building to be devoted to the
leather trade exhibit. A dispatch
from Rome announces the appoint
ment of a special commissioner
to represent Italy at the Fair.
The motive force at the Fall will
, be produced by 30,000-horse power,
the largest plant ever installed. At
the Centennial Exposition, in 1876,
the plant consisted of 600-horse
power, which was considered re-
markable at that time. Of the
: supply 19,OO0-horse power will be
used to generate electric lights, 5000
for electric power, 81 900 for COM
pressed air, 1000 for pumps and
1000 for operating exhibits. Some
of the engines will be wonderful for
capacity. The Edward P. Allis
Company, of Milwaukee, will put
in one of the triple expansion, YER
teal type, with 3000-horse power ;
, Fraser & Chalmers, of Chicago, will
