village with its industries. Inside OF
the castle is a picture Of almost every
great Irishman who became c1ebrated
as IA general, literary man, orator,
writer or statesman in the past three
hundred years of Irish history. Both
villages have many attractions and are
receiving liberal patronage.
Germany and Austria are both repre-
sented by villages built on the plan of
three hundred years ago. In these the
architecture and museums are for the
most int resting part Of the exhibits.
The restaurant privileges Of each of
these villages furnishes the largest
source of revenue. Here are served
the costliest Rhenish and Austrian
wines and the most toothsome and en-
joyable teasts prepared by German
and Austrian cooks. The Austrian VII
lage gives the most satisfactory meals
upon the fair grounds, but you must

Plaisance naturally attracts a very
large number of Americans and other
nationalities familiar with the details
Of that horrible affair. The relics are

savage felines. The entire perform

arena. A heavy net work Of iron bars
on all sides which is also rooted over

from all danger. Lions and tigers per-

The French especially and the other
foreign nations as well expected to
easily surpass all American exhibitors
in the liberal arts and manufacturers
building, but they have been terribly
surprised. 1t is now quite generally
believed that this is the reason that the
foreigners withdrew their exhibits
from competition. Take fur garments
for instance. Both France and Russia
expected to surpaSs America. In fact,
