exhibited in Barcelona, ard at the great
European and American Historical Con-

fourth centenary of the discovery of
America.

mittee on cOrrespondence and secretary of
the Universal Exposition at Barcelona.
/ has sent millions of letters aud postals
| throughout the world. and says that he
has received great number of offers Of
/ cooperation from different governments
and from foreign Industrial enterprises.
! In view of such bright perspective it is
thought probable that the Palace Of Indus
/ try and Arts will not be sufficiently spa
ciOuS TO accommodate all those wishing TO
exhibit. in which event other edifices Will
| be built on the surrounding space.

teen groups-frst, liberal arts; second,
| hygiene, games and physical culture

! trial arts; fifth, religious objects; sixth.

AS Spain seeks To stimulate production
and TO find new marls outside of the PENN
sula and her colonies, the authorities have
concluded no better method can be de-
vised than to have a great International
exposition which will show the world
what the energies. industries and products
! of the nation are.
In the expositions OF Barcelona, Paris
and Chicago Spain has obtained a dis
! tiDgushed position among the manufac-
turing nations, and those DESTROYS of be-
coming acquainted with the rich elements
energies and great possibilities of Spain
will be able TO do so by visiting the Madrid
! Exposition of 1894
