The National Encampment parade of the
G. A. r. veterans at Indianapolis brought
crowd OF not less than 200, 900 persons Into
the city. The parade began at II o'clock in
the morning and the last post passed the re-
viewing stand ut AIS o'clock in the after
noon. Allowance, however, must be made for
an hours delay about noon. The parade, as
arranged. provided for hundreds OF the vet
Grams who did not take part because of the
long distance they would have to march In
the heat and dust. The veterans who did
not march were as many as those who did
and the number Of marchers, on
conservative estimate, was from TO-
900 to 25, 900. Among the notable persons In
the line were General J. Warren Keifer, Of
Ohio General Lew Wallace, who marched
with the Mcpherson Post Of Charlottesville;
Brigade, and Past Commanders R. B. Beath,
Wagner, Kountz, Vandervoort and Palmer.
It was veritable double Chinese wall OF
humanity through which the old soldiers
passed In the three miles from start to 1n-
ish. Along the entire route the spectators
were massed from the ropes next to the
building line. spreading over lawns, filling
windows and porticos OF residences and
business blocks alike and in many cases pre-
empting the roof. There was no lack Of en-
thusiasm, and the special features Of the
parade were cheered to the echo from square
10 square.
Numerous stands were erected at points
along the route, the official reviewing stand
being placed on the grounds OF the court
house ON East Washington. From here the
veterans were reviewed BY CoLmander-in-
Chief Weissert.
Ex-President Harrison stood on his right,
and Generals Lucius Fairchild, OF Wiscon-
sin, and Law Wallace, both Of whom marched
In line until the stand was reached, on his
left. Each veteran saluted the Commander
n-Chief andthe e3-President as they passed.
The sessions OF the Encampment began on
the following day, and continued foc three
days.

WORLDS FAIR.

Natural and Developed Resources OF
the Country Artistically Exhibit
cd-Agricultural Products, Ores,
Coal and Manufactures From the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Canada has made display at the Worlds
Fair which admirably serves its purpose Of
illustrating the natural and developed re-
sources OF her own vast territory. No de-
partment of the Exposition. says the Chi
cago Herald, has been sighted py Canada.
Each big building contains = compre-
hensive exhibit, installed according to the
best methods that could be employed to
make it attractive. Possessed of resources
30 nearly similar to those OF this country
that but slight distinctions can be drawn,
Canada has been animated by the spirit Of
competition more keenly. perhaps. than any
other Nation represented at Jackson Park.
She has given special attention to the display
of her agricultural products, upon which she
brides herself most. She has not neglected,
either, the treasures hidden beneath her
broad domain, as can be seen in the Mining
Building.
Great care has been taken by the Dominion
official to properly present the display in the
Agricultural Building. A beautiful court
covering 1000 square feet and rising twenty
five feet from the floor, stands. q model OF its
kind, on the north side of the center aisle.
It is surmounted by "A handsome trophy and
bya large stuffed deer from the Rocky
Mountains. The curtain which surrounds
the court on four sides is made entirely Of
grain and straw tastefully and artistically ar
ranged.

A RETURN made by British Gov
ernment agent shows sUme peculiar
things regarding the prices of bread
and flour at different points on the
Continent of Europe. For instance,
-four retailed at 2 cents pound at
Budapest and 5 cents a pound at
Paris, Frankfort and Florence. At
Lille, -four was AZ cents pound, and
white household bread 81 cents a
pound; at Berlin these figures were
exactly reversed. or course, quality
has much to do with price; but 1t is
remarkable how the price of bread
varies with different cities. In some
English cities it is almost given
away; and in some American cities it
brings two or three times the price
that it does in England.

The showing of nickel and nickel ore from
the Sudbury district OF Ontario is one which
has attracted universal attention, not only
OF mining experts but Of naval officers. The
quality OF these ores can best be indicated by
the result of the recent tests made by the
naval departments Of Great Britain, France,
Germany and the United States, in which
Canadian nickel was found to have the
greatest power Of resistance, and was By all
means fhe most suitable for the purpose OF
making arnor plates for improved war ves-

FINE DISPLAY OF FRUITS.
The display which Canada makes in the
horticultural Building is one OF the most i'm
portant and attractive in that department OF
the Fair. There are three Canadian courts
devoted to fruit, vegetables and wine exhib-
its. An interesting feature Of this splendid
display OF fruit Is that Canada not only ex-
cells in the variety and quality of the harder
fruits peculiar to Northern country, but her
pears, peaches and the small fruits from
Western Ontario are Of that firm, juicy char
acter which at once places them In the first
grade of fine fruits.
The province OF Ontario has large e1hib-
it OF over five hundred plates, embracing
thirty-eigbt varieties OF apples in q fresh
state and 1400 bottles of various kinds Of pre-
served fruits. In the center OF the court Is
display of fruits from the Government CEN
ira! experimental farm at Ottawa. The
province of Quebec has been more successful
than any ofthe OF the other provinces in keep
ing display OF fresh winter apples, of which
there are over seventy varieties. Nova
Scotla's display Of the different varieties OF
apples from the famous Annapolis Valley Is
beyond criticism. The exhibit from British
Columbia attracts much attention because OF
the immense size OF tine apples and pears
There is also great variety OF the smaller
fruits. Prince Edward Island, the north.
west territories and Manitoba have all cred
table displays of the smaller fruits. In the
vegetable court in the north pavilion is dis.

all the Canadian provinces and the Govern
ment experimental farms OF the Dominion.
