CHICAGO, Ills, May % Oregon's fruit
exhibit in Horticultural Hall is under the
superintendence of Mr.. Guy Lewis, of
Union county, who in the absence of the
commissioner, acts as executive. 1t is
almost across the passage from Washing
toms exhibit. Oregon, Idaho and WASH
ington's exhibit OF Dorthern fruits is
without a doubt the finest display of
northern fruits at the exposition. In
variety and amount OF fruits they are
very much the same and it will be only a
question OF quality and flavor with the
judges. Oregon displays 6fty-one var
ieties of winter apples and they are very
much admired. A prune tree of one
display of prunes and evaporated fruits
is very fine and the variety of prunes ex-
cells anything as yet displayed. The egg
plums are very large and tempting. Ore

ago. 1t seems Mr.. Lewis had been CIV
ing the reporters add other people tastes
OF the fruits which he thought would
keep but little longer. The authorities
informed him that If he was found giving
any more fruit away they would put him
under arrest. AS a consequence the
fruit is allowed to spoil and it is missed
by the hungry reporters. Fred Rowe, of
Ashland, is superintendent OF the mining
exhibit and although the place is not
finished in the mining building, they
will have very good exhibit. They will
have some nickel specimens from Riddle,

Loyal Subjects OF Britain Do Honor to
Their Sovereign.
TORONTO, Can, May 24.-This is the
Queens birthday, and it is being very
generally observed both by the English
societies Of the United States and in all
the colonies. At st. Catharine's a great
bicycle meeting is in progress. Here the
event is the arrival of the Ottawa Foot
Guards and the great military parade,
followed by a notable banquet. The
Toronto highlanders are visitors in Ham
ilton today. The political gossips have
been busy awarding the birthday honors
expected today. AS rule the governor
general transmits the names of those the
government desire to see selected for
some distinction, but it does not follow
that Her Majesty's government will act
ON all the suggestions, nor are they con-
fined to any list sent over by his excel
lency. 1t is surmised that the governor
general will take advantage of this, the
last royal birthday in his regime, to ex-
press some personal preferences. Chief
Justice Strong ls pretty certain to be
made Sir Samuel Strong, and Chief JUS
tice Hsgarty may possibly fill the va
cancy on the list caused by the death OF
Sir Adam Wilson. Five Canadian
knights died during 1892, 20 that the list
has been depleted considerably.
