Relptum's Art and Flowers.

A steamer loaded with Belgium ex-
hibits has left Antwerp for New York.
This shipment concludes the list OF ar
ticles which were to be sent from that
C country to the exposition. More than
two hundred packages of Belgium
goods have been already received at
the Manufactures building, and ship
ment of two hundred paintings is en-
route to Jackson park. The exhibits
of Belgium in the Horticultural build
ing will consist of eight hundred
plants, noticeable among which will be
the displays from Client, which town

trifing cost they can be quickly trans
ported from one point to another, or
ride about the entire grounds and OBJ
tain better views of the buildings than
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, electric
launches, gondolas and all sorts OF
water craft. And just outside the
grand entrance from the lake there will
be sailboats and rowboats without
number, so that the lover Of aquatic
sports will have ample opportunity to
engage in his favorite pastime.
Outside the fair grounds in Midway
Plaisance there is at present perfect
tumult of excitement. People from
every country under the sun are jostlins
one another in their efforts to get ready
for the grand opening. Thousands OF
people GO out daily from the city to see
the strange sights from far off lands.
and we are already afforded foretaste
of what the coming exposition is going
to be among the foreign nations.

Israel Putnam'a Gun.

Gen. Israel Putnam's antique gun,
with which the bluff continental SOL
der killed the she wolf, according to
the famous story of Putnam and the
Wolf" one hundred and forty years ago,
is now at Hartford. on its way to the
worlds fair. The gun is the property
of family at Putnam. wholive not far
from the Pomfret wolf cavern. One
day recently while Mrs. NJ G. Bulke-
lev, wife of ex-Gov. Bulkeley. was
visiting at Putnam, the family intrusted
the gun to her and she forwarded it to
Gov. Bulkeley. There it was in the
care of the ex-governor's footman and
removed to the capital, where large
crowd gathered to see it The old arm
was never taken out OF the state before
and it will be guarded with great care
while it is on its way to the fair.

Great Britain, New South Wales. Cey-

The roof of the Manufactures build
ing will be converted into a sort of

From Ohio there was received piece
of coal weighing eleven tons. 1t will

the shape of a small pyramid.
The flagship of Columbus, the Santa
Maria, which was built in Spain and
towed across the ocean for exhibition
at the fair, will become the property of
the United States. The Spanish gov
srnment has made a formal tender of
the caravel
A New York confectioner will ex-
hibit at the worlds fair statue of
Columbus in chocolate seven and a
half feet high, weighing seventeen
hundred pounds, and a Venus of Milo

The Clydesdale Horse society OF
Great Britain and Ireland has advised
Chief Buchanan that the society will
make special offering of seven hun
dred dollars for Clydesdale horses eX.
bibited at the exposition, registered in
either the American Clydesdale stud
book or The Clydesdale stud book OF
Canada (appendiX included).
The exhibit which the boys of the
Cathedral school in New York will
make at the Columbian exposition was
inspected recently by Archbishop Cor
rigan. Nearly all of the forty parochial
schools of the archdiocese will be rep
resented in the Catholic educational ex.
hibit. Some of the exhibits have been
shipped.
France intends to make a fine arts
record at the exposition. Artists and
sculptors of that country have become
so much interested in the fair that NJ
Henri Giudecelli, the fine arts com
missioner, said the French people
would contribute larger and in every
way finer exhibit than the Y had made
at any previous exposition.
A unique exhibition for the world:
fair has been prepared at Sucker
Creek, Mich. 1t is said to be tho
largest load of logs ever placed upor
sleds 1t scaled thirty-fve thousand feet
and weighs one hundred and forty tons
The sleds are made from bird's-eye
maple, highly polished and heavily
irored. The runners are seven feet il
length and six inches in width. The
load was hauled a distance Of about
fifty feet by team weighing thirty
five hundred pounds The operation
was witnessed by several men who
had been sworn before justice of the
peace to tell the truth about the load
ing and hauling of the logs.

will have no difficulty in starting the
huge wheels in their revolutions. The
new plan affords many opportunities
for picturesque effects, as 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 at this time this arrange
ment has been definitely settled upon
and there is no reason to fear that any
changes will be made.
A life-saving station is one of the at
,ractive features of the lake shore sec
ton near the Fisheries building. There
is a pretty two-stcry cottage fitted up
with all the appliances of the ife-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 prove 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 building

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 KEEP. all the perishable goods, such

ton as any at the fair. 1t is a quaint
looking structure, built upon tie plan
of the old Spanish missions, and is situ-
uated on an island, the outer line OF
which is protected by a rough stone
embankment to shield it from the
breakers.
This queer building is an exact repro
duction Of the convent of La Rabida at
Palos, which at one time was refuge
o. Columbus and his son Diego when
they were in great need of even the
bare necessaries Of life. Its history is
intensely interesting. and many visitors
will be drawn to it by the rare and val
uable relics and curiosities which it will
contain.

icent modern architecture on the fair

worse than any thing else of a public
