Every school of art will be represen ted
by the best works of its masters. The
French collection will be especially strong
in the showing of figure pieces. the life
like and delicate painting OF flesh tints for
which the Partisan artists are famous.
The Austrian art collection will be small
but select. One of the most striking fea-
| lures at Chicago was the complete absence
of inferior works in this section and the
same comment will be more applica BILE
here. Some of the marine views and the
| figure pictures to be shown are especially
| praisew orthy.

Arts building will consist principally of
portraits and of still life subjects. Of the
| former the central group will be coIlec-
tion of thrty-two portraits of royal per-
sonages The leading artists of Denmark
will be represented in their country's ex-
hibit.
| A special department will be devoted to
the display of eDgravings, medallions and
canoes. In one case done in fine white
will be shown the heads Of the forty i'm
mortals who make up the French Acad-
emy. Nor will specimens of the SCULPTOR s

| fountain. His work is rapidly nearing
completion.
California. the Queen of the Pacific, is
! an heroic figure over ten feet high, which is
| just nearing completion. She, also, will
adorn the fountain. The sculptor holds
| that she should be represented as the ge-
MUS of peace and not as warlike
Minerva. He therefore represents her
holding branch of palm and standing
upon sheaf of corn.
The fountain is very large and compli-
Gated design. which. however, forms an
harmonious and allegorical whole Flora,
Pomona, the mining and the wine indus
tries are four OF the chief points. The
bear also forms part of the fountain,
and the American eagle and shield. The

Of the resources of the State, both past
and present.

panied by historical data and models to
show such matters as the first finished
piece of artillery in east-steel, the first -
FOUNDER constructed, the introduction OF
prismatc and of smokeless powder, the
construction of the horizontal breech-
closing apparatus for quick firing guns and
the first manufacture of armor- plates.
In one wing of this building will be
shown the liberal arts exhibit. The lead
ing universities of this State will display
their scientific appliances and give object
lessons in their methods of instruction.
The State Normal Sch ool and the work
ings of the public schools will also be
shown. Harvard University will trans
port hither its entire exhibit shown at
Chicago, and there will probably be some
thing of an official character from Yale
The literature of this State will be repre-

California authors shown in the California
building at Chicago. Music. architecture
and the drama will also be fittingly repre-
sented.

erected by the Buckeye Bell Foundry of
Cincinnati. The chime will comprise ten
bells. having q weight Of 10000 pounds,
modelled after the chime exhibited at the
Columb bian Exposition, and tor which the
first prize was taken. An experienced
ringer will be in charge. One service of
the chime will be to ring out the old year
and ring in the new at the first hour of
the day upon which the exposition will be
opened. During its progress the chime
will be rung every day at noon. and some

A comprehensive plan has been mapped
out for the care of fruit and other prod
ucts, which will be placed in cold storage.
Exhibitors will be obliged to replace their
goods only four or five times during the
exposition, as fruit packed in cold storage
will last about as long when taken out as it
would naturally keep fresh if it had not
been stored.
San Luis Obispo County will make
specially of her mammoth pumpkins,
potatoes. beets and other Brobdngnagian
vegetables grown within her boundaries.
Fresno and Tulare will show their raisin
products in special designs. Citrus and
deciduous fruits will be displayed In
various forms. and cereals from all over
the State will be heaped in profusion.
Agricultural implements. as used on the
small farms and on the MANN 9th ranch,
will be grouped in such a way as to i'm

In the department of fisheries are to
be shown the products of 6shing indus
tries throughout the world, with a COM
plete collection of angling appliances. An
interesting exhibit will be made by the
Mcclellan Fishing and Trading Company
Of its interests in Alaska. A collection of
nets and boats will be shown in charge of
several Aleuts and Indians, who earn
their living in the company's service in
northern waters. There will also be ex-
hibits of the edible fish of California.
Displays OF -four, pastes aud starch will
also be made in the Agricultural building.
In this department the foreign countries
will have large representation. Ceylon
will illustrate its production of tea aud
coffee by large booth in the Agricultural
building. About forty Cingalese men and
women will be in attendance, and will dis
tribute fragrant cups of these beverages
and of cocoa to the visitors. Italy will
show the method of preparing such deli

change mas taken place in the name of
the exhibition at Golden Gate Park. From
the title of ."Midwnter Fair" it has risen
to the dignity of "California information al
Midwlnter Exposition" At first designed
as display of few of the special ex-
hlbits of the Columbian Exposition. its
scope has expanded to include a collection
OF the principal features of all of the i'm
portant nations of the earth.
As the work of preparation for the
project has progressed. the enterprise has

Commissioners were asked to assign addi-

adoption Of new plans soon made it appa-

The mode OF washing and cutting dia-

in various parts Of the world shown.
The State Mining Association has charge
Of the occupation of the 10000 square feet
of space assigned in the Mechanical Arts
building for comprehensive exhibit of the
mineral products of California. Here is
be placed the most striking mining display
that has ever been made, not only on the
part of California but of any mining coun-
try in the world. Every mining county in
the State will participate in this collective
display.
In the arrangement of the miners ex-
hibit the most prominent idea has been to
mass the ores and minerals in one group
as far as possible. This has never beeu
attempted before. and will produce last
ing Impression on visitors regarding the
immense value of this industry. The con-
centration of mineral wealth will repre-
sent greater aggregate value than any
similar display ever attempted.
OF course the greatest interest in the
mining display will be in the gold product,
but all the mineral industries of the State
will be represen ted. There will be build
ing SbOutcy ulhTplt, QUICKSILVER, DOTdX, coal,
asphalt, bituminous rock and mineral oils.
The total display will be worthy of a
State. which annually produces S13, ,0OO, 900
in gold and which has total yearly mineral
product of $4,000, 600.
All of the mining counties will be repre-
sented by large displays. Mono will
occupy 200 square feet, and Placer will fill
500 square feet. There will be an exhibit
of bituminOus rock and asphalt products
from Santa Barbara. There will be
grand exhibit of 1nyO marbles, with re-
production in plaster of the Marshall
monument erected at Coloma to commence
rate the discovery of gold in California.
Private exhibits of mining machinery
and big Quartzmill in operation will
occupy the adjoining space under the gal
lery. The big mineral arch, which formed
the most notable and attractive part of
California's mining exhibit at Chicago,
will be transmitted hither for display here

AGRICULTURAL BUILDING.

One OF the most striking agricultural
features OF the exposition is the Horti-
cultural and Agricultural building, de-
signed in the old Spanish missicn style so
characteristic of California's 8 early history.
The great dome of this building, behind
and above the arched entrance and carry
ing secondary dome on its crown. is
certain to be landmark in the exposition
grounds. 1t is 266 feet long and 100 feet
wide. The dome is 101 feet in diameter
and 80 feet from the ground to the lantern.
This building will, more than any other,
be devoted to the products of CALIFORNIA;
soil. Exhibits In this department are not
expected from the States east of the Rocky
Mountains.
A collective exhibit of California horti-
culture, viticulture and olive culture will
be made under the direction of f. A.
Haber, chief of the department. of viticul-
ture, and Emory K. Smith, chief Of the
department of horticulture. A great rock
cry will be constructed with the grape
laden vines growing from it sides. In
the depths of the rocks winecellar will
be located with thousands upon thousands
of bottles Of wine.
In the vast rotunda will be placed the
combined exhibits of all the counties of
California in horticulture. viticulture and
olive culture. There will be vines laden
with bunches of grapes, growing trees
with rich fruits The air will be filed
with the fragrance Of flowers. Miniature
vineyards and orchards will be shown.
The horticultural interests of every county
will also be illustrated by panoramic effect,
typifying them by the characteristic seem
cry of each prominent locality of every
county.
Ample space will be allotted TO show not
only the specialties of each district, but
also the cultivation of the products In
their various stages. There will be minis-
ture vineyards. fruit and olive orchards to
show the methods of gathering. packing
and preserving the fruits. The collective
exhibit of these industries, N assed under
the roof of the horticultural hall. will be
the grandest of the kind ever shown In
any exposition.
All this is to emphasize the fact that the
horticultural and viticultural interests of
this State are susceptible of limitless de-
velopment They are still In their in
fancy. and all that is needed for this de-
sired expansion is just such an advertise
ment Of these resources of the State to the
world. No better means can be employed
than the carrying out of such projects as
are herein referred to. Although many of
the counties are making cumulative exhib-
its In buildings of their own. these individ-
uai displays will not interfere with the

When the visitor to CALIFORNIA; first ey-
position arrives at Sunset City next Janu-
ary he will be astonished to find himself
among fourscore buildings of considerable

vary in size from the mammoth Moorish
pavilion, devoted to an exhibition Of man
ufactures and liberal arts, down TO the
tiny kiosk where alone vendors of trifles to
= eat or wear can dispose of their wares. >
Admirably located among the natural
and cultivated attractions of Golden Gate
Park, the confines of the grounds marked
q by a stocked buffalo paddock, deer glen,
a lake and a mountain, the visitors first
impression will be not unlike the feeling
aroused in the breast of the pioneer Euro
:pgans Unexpectedly stumbling upon an
Aztec city in the heart of an apparent will
..derness. Nor will Sunset City's civic ap-
:pearance consist alone in the character
and extent of its buildings. Carefully
planned grounds, broad drives, stone pave
ments. green lawns. semi-tropcal shrubs
and muticolored flowers will comprise
park within park.
:: The central feature of the grounds will
be the grand court, of which the crowning
attraction will be the electric tower
1t. will be 270 feet high, with an
elevator running to the height of
220- feet Its base will occupy a
space fifty feet square. while the first gal
lery, eighty feet from the ground. will have
aseating a capacity of 200. There will be
three other galleries extending beyond
tbs, where several hundred more persons
can hnd accommodation. The topmost
gallery will be within six feet of the pin
nacle. 1t will be great searchlight,
which will penetrate every corner OF the
exposition grounds, sweep over the entire
surface of Golden Gate Park and illuminate

PALACE OF FINE ARTS.

Northwest of the Manufacturers build

court, is the Palace of Fine Arts. 1t is one
of the smaller buildings. simple in form
and unpretentious in outline. The design
is coDspicuousiy Egyptian. and many
critics regard it as an artistic gem. The
rooms for paintings. the statuary court
and the gallery for water colors are rec
tangular in form. The stairs, wainscoting
and friezes are decorated with the heads Of
beasts. birds and the sacred Ibis.
Under the gallery floor the rooms are
united by a series of draped openings.
