ing. The event occurred a few days
ago, but was unattended by any cere-
monies, though hundreds gained ad-
mission to sec the wonders that have
been exhumed, and ancient utensils
and weapons which the Indians of Mex
leo use.
{ As Prescott says in his conquest of
Mexico" the Spaniards encountered a
civilization in Mexico superior to their
own in all save the art of desti uction,
and in the Mexican anthropological
collection there are numerous remnants
of this superior civilization in ANTIQUE
pieces of architecture, pottery and war
weapons, while other evidences have
been accurately reproduced from de-
tails written in descriptions given BY
Cortez and his scriveners. Among the
reproductions in miniature are the tenn
pies of Xochicalco and xicotenatl,
which were great pyramidal structures
after the Egyptian style of architec-
ture.
Besidea the war shields of the
Caciques of the army of Guatomatz,n,
who fought Cortez, other weapons and
such antiques as sacrificial stones, there
ere among the collections articles of
wear, palm leaf capotes, gaudy colorcd
cotton cloth releases, straw sandals and
other parts of the costumes of the differ
ent kinds of Indians still inhabiting
Mexico, together with the old-fashioned
utensils they used to grind corn, the
simple loom and wooden plow. Home
life in the tropical part of the country
Is illustrated in a thatched and grass
made cottage, while farmhouse is
built of adobe to keep out the cold. The
collection is large, varied and interest
ing. and is exhibited at Prof. Putnam's
solicitation by Col George NJ. Greene,
> Pennsylvania, who has become thor
oughly Mexicanized by thirty or more
years residence in the City of Mexico.
He has been assisted by his wife in
making the selections, and she helps in
presenting and explaining them to the
public.

Music hall which ad1olns the north end of
the Columbian Peristyle. Passing under
a canopy faced with large American flags
the guests, attired in all manner OF
costumes, gorgeous court uniforms and
curious head dresses, proceeded up the stair
way to Recital hall, where an informal re-
ception was held.
In the banquet hall the grouping of the
tables was as artistic rs 1T was unique.
They were curved and crescent and "A'
shaped, both large and small, the object of
such an arrangement being to avoid any
suggestion of favoritism in the allotment
of seats. The sixteen columns which bor-
dered the oblong hall were entwined with
cak leaves. Back of the receiving arch
which forms the end of the hall opposite
the main entrance were hung garlands
and wreaths and festoors of green dotted
with roses of every hue. Over this display
were hung the flags of every nation whose
representatives were the guests of the
evening.
The walls of the gallery were hidden by
the flags of all nations, and over the i'm
provised staircase leading from the Re
cital hall to the banquet hall were draped
the stars and stripes. Thousands of the
choicest roses adorned the tables in every
form known to the florists art. Majestic
palms reared their spreading leaves from
the gallery steps and the bang uetting
floor. The choicest foliage plants from
the Horticultural building were brought
over to make the floral picture one of
| splendor. Over the heads Of the banqueters
| were hung special electric designs, which
combined with the flood of color from the
| flowers, flags and court uniforms Of the
| guests, made picture entraucingly beau
| tiful.
The hostesses for the directors were Mrs
Higinbotham, Mrs. George r. Davis Mrs.
| Ferd w. Peck, Mrs. Lyman J. Gage, Mrs.
| w. P. Baker, aud Mrs Robert A. Waller.
! Many of Chicago's 400 added their cos
| TUNES, their jewels, and their charming
| presence to the joint function. The toast
masters at each side OF the hall were Direc-
tor General Davis, President Higinbotham,
ex-Presdents w. p. Baker and Lyman j.
Gage. While the banquet was intended to
be given exclusively TO the foreign COM
missioners and American executive of
fcers there were many minor officials OF
the fair present.
The speechmaking was begun by Presi
dent HIgiub otham in the form of saluta
tion to Che guests, and other addresses
were made by President Palmer, Lyman j.
Gage, Director of Works Burnham; DR.
Max Richter, German commissioner
Marquis UnGaro, of Italy; Director Gen
eral Davis, and gentlemen from England
and other countries represented at the
fair.
Advertisements having appeared in th'
press announcing that certain exhibit a.
the exposition had received the only award
when there were several awards in tn,
same class, the Associated American ex
hibitors at a meeting adopted resolution
rcgu ring the bureau Of awards to conside

The Italians of Chicago celebrated the
4Olst anniversary of the landing OF Colum-

city, with the exception of the year Of the
fire Preparations had as usual been made
to observe the day that year, but the big
conflagration, coming two days before,
burned up everything which had been
gotten up for the event, and the sons of
Italy were forced to forego the yearly OBJ
servation of the day.
Italian societies from Milwaukee and
Braidwood and representatives of the So
cieties of Omaha, Kansas City, Detroit
and Cincinnati arrived last night to assist
in the celebration. The downtown fea-
ture of the day, which was observed as hol-
idav by all of the Italians in the city, was
