WORLDS FAIR EXHIBIT.

Various individuals in Rutland and
vicinity are arranging to make exhibits
at the Worlds Fair, and most promi-
nent among the exhibits will be marble
clock and miniature castle built by
George f. Clancy. a local marble polish
er. 1t is said to be the most beautiful
and accurate thing of the kind ever made
in New England, has cost Mr.. Clancy
months of labor and is worth thousands
of dollars. The castle, which is five feet
long, three feet wide and two and a half
feet high, rests on blue marble slab,
finely polished, with an underpinning
made of over 30 kinds of marble found
in Vermont and Italy. The castle prop
e. is made of blue marbles and many
kinds of onyx, which have been collected
from the four corners of the world. The
front portion, on both sides of the main
entrance, consists of inlaid work in var
ious kinds of marble found in the United
States and Italy, and beautiful onyx.
The steps leading to the MAN entrances
and the trimmings of the entrance are
constructed of blue and variegated mar
BILE and onyx. There are two marble
pillars on both sides of this entrance,
and there is also a side entrance.
The castle has two towers, the larger
one to contain chime of bells and the
smaller one a clock. The clock is an
other work of art and is valued at S4OO.
The roof of the castle represents a fort
having wall on all sides. in which are
port holes, each of which is supplied
with a miniature cannon. The castle as
a whole is perfect in architecture. beau
tiful in design, and marvel of ingenui-.
ty and skill. From underpining to tow
ers everything is perfect, and a careful
combination of colors in the selection of
the materials gives beautiful effect.
