has been watched with the deepest in
terest. In fact, to one with any taste
for such things the work of con-
structing the great buildings has been
fully as instructive and entertaining as
will be the whole fair when completed.
Such marvels of architecture and such
triumphs of genius surely were never
before witnessed in this country.
But now that the buildings are so
nearly finished the main interest CEN

its and the statues and monuments
that are being erected about the
grounds. Prominent among the latter
is the gigantic statue of the republic,
contributed by France, standing in the
grand basin at the entrance from the
lake, and before the Administration
building. This figure, which Is six
ty feet high and weighs thirty tons,
is having the finishing touches put on
it by a dozen artisans, who expect to
finish their work and remove the pine
covering of the heroic statue in about
a month, or in the early part of April
When completed it will be the grandcst
and most striking figure in the grounds,
and will be on a scale surpassed only
by the Bartholdy statue of Liberty in
New York harbor.
Another magnificent piece of work
manship will be the choragic monu-
ment of Lysicrates, which will be
erected by the Greek letter societies in

is said to be the mCst famous piece of

In some of the states and territories
where there has been no appropriation
it has been difficult to raise the money,
and some of these have not responded
at all, leaving deficit in the building

also especially desirous of obtaining a

pulled down the meat house, overturned
