THACHER THE SERENE.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA. - The Worlds
Fair Board of Awards has struck balance
on awards made, disclosing for the first
time that foreign exhibitors will secure 63
per cent of the prizes, while American ex-
hibitors will receive only 81 per cent.
Chairman Thacher says this showing will
put an end to the criticisms made by for
eigners and taken up in this country that
foreign exhibitors were not receiving full
consideration. He anticipates that the
American exhibitors will now be heard
from. and will feel thar the board has not
been sufficiently patriotic toward home ex-
hibitors. but Thacher says he and his asso-
ciates have been governed by the finding
of the judges. and the latter are RESPONSE
