Canada's section in the Manufactures
building is crowded with exhibits that rival
those of older, more populous and more
pr~etentious manufacturing countries, and
in many cases oatrival them. Cotton fab
RIGS of all kinds occupy q prominent place,
and tweeds. meltons, braids, silk thread,
gloves, hosiery. underwear, ready made
clothing and carpets give a fair idea of the
Dominion's ability in textile lines. In iron
goods and miscellaneous hardware, house
hold novelties, band and circular saws, Can
ada doesn't have to take her hat off to any
body, and she may proudly tuck her trou-
sers in her boot tops, for her footwear and
other leather goods are well worth exhibit
ing.
The display of the Canadian department
of Indian affairs attracts a great deal Of at
%tention, principally because of its mode.
Indian school, where teachers and pupils
pursue their usual routine as if they were
in the woods of the far northwest. There
are many interesting relics of the warpath,
the hunt and the camp, and many exam
pies of what the Civilized Indian has ac-
complished since he was harnessed to the
car of progress-grain and vegetables that
he has grown and useful things that he has
manufactured.
Canada's display in the horticultural
building Is one Of the most important and
attractive, comprising three courts devoted
to fruits, vegetables and wines. Her dis
play Of fruits is the largest shown by any
single state or foreign country and occupies
about a sixth OF the entire fruit space.
Peaches. pears and small fruits, as well as
apples aid other hardy fruits peculiar to
northern countries, and / 400 bottles Of pre-
served fruits of various kinds show the
surprising range Of the Dominion's pomo-
logical possibilities. The exhibit from Brit
ish Colurnb ia attracts attention because of
the immansa size OF the apples and pears.
In the Forestry, Transportation and Fish
cries buildings Canada also makes a good
showing, and her 10000 square feet Of space
in the Mining building furnish a fair index
of her great mineral wealth. British Co
lumbia alone has produced over $50. 900 600
In gold since the yellow metal was first dis
covered there, and Ontario averages IN out
put of 81, 000, 900 annually. Ontario nickel
is conceded to. be the best in the world by
all the governments that have tested it for
armor plates, and the exhibit from Sudbury
attracts not q few experts. OF coal, IL need
were, Canada could easily furnish enough
to warm the world, and Of the other treas
ures hidden beneath her broad domain the
samples here displayed show the possession
Of enough to dover a universe.
Anglers have a shrine at the fair now
dedicated to their patron saint, Izaak Wal
ton. and opened on the three hundredth an
niyersary of his birth. It stands on the
shore of the north pond, just east of the art
galleries, and is plain, simple and small, not
more than 20 feet by 10 and only one story
in height. The walls of the interior are
decorated with rods and lines and a num-
Der of oil paintingso OF p~iscatorial subjects,
and the Furniture consists of o plain oak
table and q few chairs. The building was
erected By the Chicago Fly Casting club,
