North American Review.
spain has appropriated $500 900 as its
| frat lnstalment, and that amount renders it
the fourth European nation as regards APP
preparation. Spain intends to be repre-
sented in all or nearly all the departments
twenty thousand feet have been asked for
in the department in fine arts, but only TO-
| etD feet have been secured; we hope never
| theless that Mr.. Ives W no has done so much
| On behalf of art and who is so fond of
Spanish art. may do all in his power to
grant us all the space that we require. In
the department of manufactures and lib
eral arts we desired 10000
| square feet. and. although we have only
| been allotted 10 600, we still hope to in
| crease them, because. from official infor-
nation have received, Catalina alone will
| send larger exhibit to Chicago than to
Paris, and from all parts of Spain we will
bring a large number of products which we
wish to make known to the United States
and to the rest of America. Some of the
most important exhibits at the Exposition
| Of Artistic Industries at Barcelona are to
| he sent, and these will show the advanced
| condition of the technical education of our
| workingmen. In the department of Eth
noiogy and Anthropology We have obtained
the 10000 feet asked for, and we may
| reproduce part of the exhibit which
awakened SO much interest in the
| American Historical and European His
tIrIcal expositions held at Madrid. Spain
| will occupy a space in the building which
will enable her to behold on one side Eu-
rope, whose genius she carried TO America,
| and on the other sile the republics which
have sprung from her, her exposition being
taus part ot the old AMI part of the new
world. In the Transportation building al
so hope to be able to present an exhibit
both interesting and valuable. In the ma
val department we may behold models of
the vessels that went TO the Orient with the
| Aln,ogavares, to Lepanto aud the Tereeras
wi Don Aware de Bazan and which
sailed in every sea under command Of Co.
iun,bus, the Pinzons, Soils, Magallanes
aud Lcyaspi. We shall be aided in our
| Efforts towards completing our exhibit
| by the Spanish Transatlantic Company
which will furnish models of its ships On
| their lines of the Antilles, Gulf of Mexico
and United States, the Plate, Philippine
| islands and Gulf of Guinea; by our navy
with models of its modern vessels, by the
private navy-yards of Bilboa, Cadiz. La
tirsna and Barcelona, with models of hips
they built for our royal navy. In the de-
partment of agriculture, Cuba, the Philip
pine Islands and Porto Rico will exhibit
coffee, sugar. tobacco, and abaca and Spsin
| her oils. preserves. wooiens, mineral waters,
etc. One of the departments that will at
| tract most attention in the Spanish exhibit
will undoubtedly be the horticultural where
| in all classes of wines will be classified, if
| Spain is given the space TO which she is en-
titled AS one of the greatest producers of
wines and as the nation which has the
| largest expectation Of that article.
