The Exhibition Number of Scribner's
Magazine is the contribution which the
conductors OF that periodical make to the
great Exposition at Chicago.
They have planned to make il as fine an
example OF an American magazine as can
be produced. 1t is put forth as a repre-
sentative number to show the liters.y
artistic and mechanical resources that are
employed in such publication, and is
fully representative of the individual
writer's who have made the existence OF a
great magazine possible. This issue con-
tains nearly one-thid more matter than
the regular numbers of Scribner's. and
the illustrations are of extraordinary
abundance and richness, including twen-
ty-five full pages, two ofthem in colors.
the frontispiece being reproduction of a
pastel by Robert Blum. Among the ar
lists are the eminent Frenchmen, Albert
Lynch, Boutet de Monvel and Marchetti;
the Englishmen, Alfred Parsons and
VIM. Hathersll; and striking list of
American artists, including J. Alden
Weir, W. 7. Smedley, Howard Pyle,
George H. Boughton, F. S. Church, Irving
R. Wiles, Reinhart, Mowbray, Blashfeld,
G. D. Gibson, and Metcalf. Artist en-
gravers are represented by Frank French,
Elbridge Kingsley, and W. B. Closson.
Fourteen Of the full pages have no rela-
ton to the text, but are reproductions OF
pictures made especially by the artists for
this number as most representative Of
their work. These are printed with great
care, with no type backing them.
On its literary side this Exhibition
Number shows list OF contributors such
as has never been brought together before
in single issue Of magazine. The
opening article is an unpublished auto
graph narrative by Washington, deserib-
ing in a most graphic manner The Brad
dock Campaign''-s manuscript which is
unique among Washington relics. TWAS
written by him for the use of Colonel
Humphreys in a proposed biography.
W. u. Howells contributes a charming
photographed sketch entitled The
Country Printer which embodies reccl-
leeiions OF his youth. 1t is illustrated by
A B. Frost Prominent English writers
are Wslier BeSant and Thomas Hardy.
The American short story is exhibited at
its best by such masters of the art as Bret
Harie, Henry James, George W. Cable,
b. c. Bunner, and Sarah 0rne Jeweit.
Mrs. Burnett contributes more Of the re-
collections OF her childhood with abund-
ant illustrations by r. B. Birch, the
Illustrator OF Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Robert Blum writes picturesquely Of an
Artists Impression OF Japan" with
many more of the wonderful pictures
made during his residence in that coun-
try Francisque Sarcey, the eminent
French critic, contributes a brief paper on
The Coincide Franchise at Chicago"
and there are poems by Robert Louis
Stevenson and Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
In short, II is believed that such list
OF artists and writer's has never before ap-
peared under the cover Of single maya
zine. The greatest care has been taken
In the mechanical reproduction OF the
number, which has q specially designed
cover BY Stanford White, who made the
original cover Of the magazine. 1t is in
teresting to note that the original draw
ings, manuscripts, proofs, ETC., Of this
Exhibition Number ave to be displayed
