say that now as the first month is
closing, the Fair has been anything

feeding.
How very much We are oftentimes in

how alittle brief authority and power
makes mighty men of us Sin our OWE
estimation" Major Handy, the high
chief magistrate Of the department of
publicly and promotion, is ia man of
much importance in his own mind, but
that's about where it ends. The news
paper fraternity will doubtless rejoice
if his head falls in the basket, as there
is now a strong probability. The pos
ition he occupies should be filled by a
man with broad views and courteous
manners, and above all by one who
would be ever mindful of and grateful
for what the press Outside of Chicago)
have done and are doing for that de-

Nature Is seen mall its beauty bot b
on the grounds and in horticultural
hall. If everything else was in so for
ward state, there would be little oc-
casion for the remark heard recently,
cts not SO much what We can see as
what We can't see." No necessity of
going to the Worlds Fair to see pack

Many will be surprised to see the
unique display made by the different
provinces Of Canada in the Agricultu-
raj building arranged under tho super
vision of W. H. Hoy and A. ]. yeale.
This Canadian court, builded from
samples taken from all the expert

a novel sight. Cereals (wheat, corn,
oats and barley, potatoes, tobacco and
furs, show what our neighbors can do.
The vast northwest territories are ably
represented herein by Senator W. D..
Perley who extends hearty welcome
to all. Across the aisle on the west is
the exhibit Of this same Dominion, of
manufactured products growing out Of
the agricultural department proper.
As "good wine needs no bush, ;" 30 with
the famous Canadian club whisky on
exhibit here. r. S. Hodgins is SUPER
intendent in charge, and he is sur
rounded with pyramids OF ale and por-
ter, cheese, biscuit, ham and bacon.
The work Of installation in this build
ing Is in quite forward state, as COM
pared with many others.
II it were only a question of time,
there is no doubt but what machinery
hall, when that time arrives, will be
alive with interest, but just at present
active operations seem to be confined

presses.
The Pine Tree State building was
opened by Governor Cleaves and staff,
assisted by several notables, and to
judge from the hospitality displayed,
no room was left for guesswork as to
its being genuine and hearty. And
not far distant in Victoria house on the
same day, the sons and daughters Of
good Quee victoris's realm held high
carnival In honor of the seventy-fourth

finishing touches on by banquet held
in the evening in the Virginia hotel
which was attended by many distin-

Germany not to be outdone, invited
many to assist in her house warming,
and as the material used in the con-
struction OF her house Of many gables
was brought from her domain that In
itself will form an interesting exhibit,
as 1t is SO intended. The imperial
commissioner, Herr Wermuth, was
kept busy receiving friends in his new
house.
Welcome news for many parents, and

the admission fee for them has been
reduced to twenty-five cents.
How many Of US have longed for
peep at gay Paris. The French build
