portfolios or as many as they desire.
To secure a portfolio, say the first
one, begin next Monday morning to
cut out Of the INTGLLIGENCER the
Worlds Fair portfolio coupons. Six OF
these and ten cents TO cover cost OF
mailing, etc., will entitle the subscriber
TO tho portfolio. The same plan secures
the portfolio OF the next week, and so
Oh to the end OF the series. The photo
graphs are just what everybody wants
and will be a valuable addition to any
household. In fact they preserve the
life OF the fair in q most exact and
pleaeiHg form.
Early In the history OF the fair the
government made careful provision for
an elaborate series OF photographs, to
be Kept in the archives as pictorial
record Of the exposition. 10 this end
the work was intrusted TO a most skill
inl and reliable artist. The results
have been entirely satisfactory and
gratifying Tho most comprehensive
and representative collection Of photo
graphs ever taken in connection with
any enterprise has boon secured OF these
256 Of the best have been selected as
covering every point OF interest in con-
nection with the great event and these
have been divided into sixteen portfo-
lios, each containing sixteen photo
graphic reproductions. The cost OF the
whole number Of photographs is 81 90
in addition to the coupons cut from the
ISTELLlGENcER. Each picture is also nc.
companied ny graphic description OF
convenient length.
The introduction to the first portfolio
has been written by Prof. Halsey Q.
Ives, and his name on the tito page is
in itself a sufficient guaranty OF the
literary aud artistic excellence OF the
work. The subjects chosen are varied,
as will be seen from the contents OF the
first, as follows: |, the Administration
building;2 2, the Woman's building; 8,
the Peristyle; 4, the transportation

Plaisance from the Ferris wheel; 10,
Persian sword dance; 10, Statue OF the
Republic, by French.
1t should be remembered that each
one OF these is accompanied by an inter-
esting and authentic description.
It should also be borne in mind that
these pictures are faithful and artistic
reproductions of the originals, which
are preserved by the government at
Washington as a pictorial record OF the
exposition, and that they can only be
obtained in this city in the manner and
during the time above stated. Those
who desire the entire series should
begin at once, and favor their friends
by informing them OF the opportunity
offered.
