The last three days have been very
muddy and dismal ones, but the visitors
to the expositisn never stop for that.
i Thick shoes and umbrellas come into
service and the visitor goes merrily on.
1t is very bad ior the state buildings
thongh, as they track an endless amount
If mud into their pretty parlors. Some
= Jtates have drawn ropes across their
parlor doors, and the visitors must only
take a peep into the elaborate reception
rooms. The past week has been full of
interest to all. Many new exhibits have
been installed, that attract the crowd.
Comparatively few people will see all
g the exhibits of the exposition, and each
< one should plan to see what suits his in
diyidua preferences. 1t would take a
man three days to cover the 150 miles
OF walk alone, and to devote a single
minute to the inspection of the 100000
exhibits, he would have to consume
over 150 daysworking to get through
the list. The main aisles OF the manu-
featuring building are elk miles in
length, the art gallery has 15O, 600 square
feet OF wall space covered with paint
ings; If extended in straight
line, would extend little
more than two leagues, and the remain
der OF the buildings are in proportion.
The visitor can readily realize, there
fore, that he must arrange q system to
take in even the important features OF
s'the biggest show on EARTH" The

is to 90 through the manufacturers
building fret, as even If he saw nothing
else on the grounds he would have
learned more there than he ever knew
in ell his studies of countries. Every
nation on earth ie represented in some
way, and it is good chance to form
comparisons OF all countties.
The Austrian section of the fine art
building was opened to the public today
for the first, The Austrian section is in
the west pavilion and leads to the Ger
man section from the west door OF the
pavilion. Even cursorv view of the
exhibition uiscloses the fact that every
picture on the walls is interesting.
There is not dull or commonplace bit
of paint in those rooms, and the whole
is a representative collection, excellent
ly displayed and arranged with rare
discretion.
The Mexican exhibit of art industries
in the manufactures building was for
mally opened yesterday. The commits
sioners have endeavored to make as
comprehensive display as possible OF
the industries of the republic. Probably
more attention is attracted by row
of carved wooden panels which are
placed around the walls OF the pavilion.
In, ia inc
while in others are quite finished. The
panels were all taken from old churches
in Mexico, which were erected not later
thga thsa ths IL tasntppsY pY Of @fNafp @ &
play. There are many large slabs of the
stone, which WAS quarried in Pueblo. In
one OF the show cases are the manufact-
ured onyx articles. These range from
paper weight pear of the carved etone to
immense placques, on which have been
painted pictures of Mexican home life.
Quite an extensive display of pottery,
wooden fabrics, artificial flowers, per-
fumes and other toilet articles is made.
One section is taken up with the en-
broidered work by the women.
The worlds fair concerts are becom-
ing very popular. An audience larger
than at any time previous attended the
concert in music hall yesterday morning.
Before the time OF beginning the crowd
at the doors was already larger than the
seating capacity of the hall, and many
were turned away. The management
estimated that there were enough people
seeking admittsnce to have filed the
hall three times over.
Next week is to see novelty intro
duced into the programmes, and it is
novelty that will doubtless attract large
audiences. On Monday at IL O'Clock the
Lineff choir OF Russian singers will ap-
pear on the platform of Music hall to
give the first OF series OF four chsrac-
teristic Russian song concerts. The
singers will appear wearing the peasant
costumes OF Russia and Ukraine, and
depict in song the life and ways of those
regions. These concerts will not be
free, as most of the past ones have been,
but are we'll worth the 25 cents admis-
sion fee. There will be one free concert
on Tuesday morning next.
