Installation of the German exhibits
in the Art Building is progressing rap
idly, and there is every indication that
all will be in readiness for the opening
May 1. At present the German section
is BY far ahead in getting ready. Sew
eral pieces of bronze statuary were to
be seen yesterday. They are very fine.
Germany has taken more pains with
the pavilions and selected better spaces
for its exhibits than any other foreign
country.
One of the rarest exhibits at the Ex-
position will be a selection of Coalport
china. A speciality is the chalcedony
decoration, which reproduces the hues
OF the agate. Imitation turquoises are
studded on some of the vases with fine
effect. Two graceful vases, present
from Princess Christian, are adorned
with an agate scheme of decoration.
Two still more elaborate are in prepa-
ration at the Coalport works. A hand
painted dessert service is adorned with
portraits of famous beauties, and q
coffee service in hammered Coalport
china, the cups in black and gold on
the inside, and the jug and other yes
sells in white and gold, will be exhib
tied.

plant. There was also table contai1-
ing two thousand hyacinths, and near
ly as many jonquils and narcissuses.
A great many Easter lilies were in
bloom. Everybody loves beautiful
flowers, and Chief Thorpe studies to
make these shows Doth attractive and
instructive to the visitor, as every flow
er plant is named on small tag at
tached, which also gives the place from
which the plant came.

work will be sent to the Fair this week.
1t comes from Milwaukee, and repre-
sents in symbolic figures the history of

will accompany the work to see that it
is properly taken care of and placed.
The story of Grace Darling is famil,
