Sunday visitors to the Fair watched
the strange craft from the shore just
east of the manufactures building and
was sure it was the viking ship, but
no, the ship of so much interest had
not come yet. 1t was only the carveI
of Columbus feet which was anchored
out in the lake. 1t has not yet been
decided where they will be located fol
the inspection of the public. The San
ia Maria is in the center and the Nina
and Pinta on the port and starboard
sides respectively. Captain Conat
formed his crew on the port side OF
his ship, and received the representa-.

all due formality. After showing his

try in the world. There are hundreds
of varieties of them and each is repre-.
sented by a beautifully polished log.
Beautiful wood carving and fine musi'
cal instruments are shown in the
manufactures building. Here, too are
several fine paintings which represent
Argentine Republics contribution to
the fine arts. Everything in the
exhibit represents the highest civiliza
tion which the republic has attained
There is little spot way down by the
anthropological building at the south
east part of the grounds that if the Wis
itors would take the trouble to inves
tigate would prove of much interest
to him. This little green patch ly ing
near the east lagoon, in which art
mOored some fanciful canoes, is to bt

all regions. The fleet footed Indian Of

The State buildings form an importan
part of the Exposition. Many of tn,

make such extensive displays in tn,

should by all means visit each one o
them.
