and besides tho fee OF $4,000 francs he re-
ccved half the gate receipts, which were
approximately 10000 francs More than
li,ooO persons were present. Lagartijo was
greeted with demonstrations of mad en-
thusiasm. All the bulls were from the
herds of the Duke of Ncragua, who breeds
the iicrccst fighters in Spain.
Towards the close of the fight the audi

that his last appearance might be marred
by mishap, turned towards the audience

THE SOUTHERN FINANCIAL SLTUA-
TON

It has been said by some financiC rs
that the ultimate result OF the bank
failures in Australia will be to send
moro European money to this country
for safe investment. Should this prove
to be the case the South will undoubtedly
receive q large share OF it, as it has
always been q tavorite field for foreign
investors.
That there is money enough in the
country, says the Manufacturers
Record, is shown when FIRST class
security Is offered. Recently two bond
issues were made, which were taken up
without delay. One was the new,,4 per
cent bonds of the Pennsyivanis rail
road, and the other an issue OF 5000, 600
in per cent. bonds OF the City and
Suburban railway, OF Baltimore. This
last was part of total issue OF $4,000.
600, and was taken at ll2}5 and interest.
Tho financial situation in the South
presents the feature of caution more
than any other. There is no lack OF
N oncy but banks and investors, still
feeling uneasy from the disquietng re-
ports fom New York, are cautious in
their movements.
a feeling Of distrust and insecurity
following the Ulman failures at Bruins
wick, ia, caused the State Bank to

The Richmond Terminal reorganiza-
ton, from which the South expects
much, progresses but slowly. The plans
OF Drexel, Morgan Il Co. are regarded

ton unless an amicable settlement is
arrived al.

clusion within the next week. This is

Handsome spring costumes of black

with princesse redingote back and corse-

is a pretty two-story cottage fitted up
with all the appliances of the life-sav-
ing service, and a steel framed light
house one hundred feet high. The sta
ton is to be permanent and is in every
way a model one.
A regular patrol system of the entire
beach will be kept up night and day to
illustrate to the visitors at the fair the
careful watch that is constantly kept
upon our seacoasts for wrecked marin
ers and vessels in distress. This exhibit
will undoubtedly proveo of great interest
to people who come from inland points.
Further to the south along the lake
shore and just beyond the grand en-
trance to the lagoon is a building
which already attracts as much atten-
ton as any at the fair. 1t is a quaint
looking structure, built upon the plan
of the old Spanish missions, and is stu
uated on an island, the outer line of
which is protected by a rough stone
embankment to shield it from the
breakers.

visitors may indulge in the novel and
refreshing pastime of skating on the ice
while the thermometer is doing its best
to melt and boil the mercury on the
outside.
To the average citizen the process OF
ice-making is a profound mystery, and
through lack Of opportunity he has been
unable to enlighten himself on this
most interesting industry. Here he will
be afforded an excellent chance to
study the thing in detail, and the stu
dent of refrigeration will find in opera
ton every process for the preservation
of foods that has been approved by ex-
perts.
The capacity of the ice machines will
be one hundred and twenty ton a day,
and the storage rooms will accommo-
date over five hundred car loads of per.
ishable food. From this it will be seen
that there will be no necessity of drink
ing warm water or eating melted but
ter in the fair grounds.
One of the greatest conveniences at
Jackson park is the elevated railroad,
which is rapidly approaching compile
ton. This road winds in and out
among the great buildings and reaches
every part of the grounds. For aged
persons and those who are too frail OF
feeble to travel about afoot this line
will be a great convenience. At 9
tritling cost they can be quickly trans
ported from n point to another, o
ride about the entire grounds and OBJ
tain better views Of the buildings thar
can be obtained from the ground.
Another novel and enjoyable mode Of
transit will be by boat in the lagoon
There will be steam launches. electri,
launches, gondolas and all sorts O
water craft. And just outside thu
grand entrance from the lake there will
be sailboats and rowboats withou'
number, so that the lover of aquati,
sports will have ample opportunity t.
engage in his favorite pastime.
Outside the fair grounds in Midway
Plaisance there is at present a perfec
tumult of excitement. People from
every country under the u are ~jostlin,
one another in their efforts to get ready
for the grand opening. Thousands O
people go out daily from the city to SCI
the strange sights from far off lands
and we are already afforded a forecast.
of what the coming exposition is goin&
to be among the foreign nations.

Isabella. Columbus explained his plans
to the prior, who became interested and
finally secured for the unfortunate nav
igator an audience with the queen of
Spain, who with the king was then in
camp with the besieging army before
Granada. Had it not been for the good
abbot Columbus would probably never
have had an opportunity to discover the
new world.
Prominent among the big buildings
at the fair is the huge refrigerator or
cold storage pavilion, which is located
on the extreme western confines of the
grounds and just back of the Transpor-
tation building. In this building will
be kept all the perishable goods, such
as meats, vegetables, etc, for use in the
restaurants at the fair. 1t will be a very
complete building in every respect for
the purpose, and in addition to it's other
features it will contain, upon the top
floor, a skating rink eighty-fivc by one
hundred and eighty feet in extent,
where, during the hot summer months,

ton of the American Declaration of In
dependence and one or two other price
less possessions of the government. IL
Illustrations of the life history of Column
bus and relics of the court of Ferdinand
and Isabella and of the early history of
this continent in Columbus time will
be shown in p~rofusion. The Columbian
relics have been gathered from every
quarter of the globe for a special exhib-
it at the worlds fair.
The story connected with the con.
vent is that early in 1892 Columbus,
while travelling on foot and in a desti-
tute condition through Spain, applied
for food of the Franciscan fathers in
charge of La Rabida. He was kindly
and Hospitality received. The prior,
Father de Marchena, was a man of edu-
cation and culture and had a large in

roomy and convenient spot for the
erection of the platform for the use of
President Cleveland and the other Off
Gals who are to take part in the open
ing exercises. This platform will be
connected with Machinery hall so that
from the speakers table the president
will have no difficulty in starting the
huge wheels in their revolutions. The
new plan affords many opportunities
for picturesque effects, rs the position
commands the water front and many of
the finer pieces of statuary, and will en-
able thousands of spectators to get a
fine view of the exercises. AS far as
can be learned atthis time this arrange,
ment has been definitely settled upon
and there is no reason to fear that any
changes will be made.
A l~ife-saving station is one of the at
tractive features of the lake shore sec
ton near the Fisheries building. There
