too, Italy is very strong, especially IN
editions de luxe.
In Horticultural building is tine
and extensive exhibit of italian wines
such as MARSHA, Chianti, Ruffino,
Barolo, Aetna wines, Lachrymae Chris

in all. But as the italian commits
sioner in charge of this department.,
the Cavaliere T. Silombra, resignedly
remarked: California beats Italy in
wines" He had just sent a report to
his government that it was no use for
Italy to try and compete with us in
wines-4hey were both cheaper and
better here. IL Agricultural building
there are olive oil and hemp, preserves
and dried fruit, seeds and grains,
liquors and cordials, .caramels and
honey, soap, etc, but no very Largo
nor good display.

to be seen in Transportation building,

marble of every kind, rough and

the priceless collection Of laces sent as

1aces, which in their aggregate are
unique.
Lastly must be mentioned the italian
section in the Fine Arts palace, where
eight rooms are occupied by fairly
representative collection of the works
of Italian artists of the present day.
There are some 800 statues and busts,
fashioned out of marble and clay, terra
Gotta and alabasGer, bronze and silver
and copper and brass. Apolloni, of
Rome, has $4,000 statue of Carrara
marble on view, and Ferrari has also
some fine sculptures there. In paint
ings / may cite fine portrait of Man-
cini by Bistolfi, of Milan; some good
marine pictures by Ciardi, Of Venice;
the genre paintings (of all themes from
everyday life in the city of lagoons)
Of Novo; some fine canvases by Prof.
Corrodi, Of Rome; large number Of
landscapes by CaFcano, of Milan, and
some conscientious work by Lancer
otto, Milesi and Fragiacomo. On the
whole, though, the italian fine arts
section is not of as fine grade as the
German OF French, barely on pan
with the British. italian art, in fact,

tented with the leavings when she
finally had made up her mind to join in.
The exposition management has done
as well by Italy as circumstances per-
mitted, and they have increased the
originally allotted space several times
since. But the additionally granted
space is not the best imaginable, and
it is cut off from the main italian sec
ton in Manufactures building, so that
many visitors do not even know of the
various italian annexes. The Milanese
silk exhibit, magnificent one, is To-
Gated in one of these annexes. So Is
the splendid exhibit made by Gargi-
ulo, of Sorrento, in wood mosaics, the
piano exhibit. etc. Up in the galleries
in the liberal arts department., some
5000 square feet are given up to dis
play of books, artistic furniture and
other industries
The main features of the italian ex-
hibit are furniture, especially inlaid
and sculptured; jewelry, especially
fligree and coral; marble and wooden
statuary; hammered iron work; da-
masks and other heavy silk goods;
hats, felt and straw; musical fnstru-
ments; chemicals, drugs and medi-
cines; books, photographs, engravings
and wines There is not enough space
at my disposal to speak fully of all the
treasures for mind and eye shown by
Italy. To speak generally 1t may be
said that Italy's glory has not departed
that is very evident. Her art is still
alive and vigorous, and seeksconstant-
lv new domains in WHICH to shine. Her
wood scu1pturing, for Instance, Is
quite novel and original. Toso, OF
Venice Ia great artist, by the way,
who died suddenlyofrom asphyxiation
one night, while sleeping in hotel
near the worlds fair grounds) shows
some remarkable samples Of his skill
as the double staGuette Of Marguerite
and Mephisto, the rear part being a
carved representation of the latter,
while the front portion shows the
pretty maiden Of Goethe's poem. This
statuette has been sold, at the price Of
$1,000, to Potter Palmer.
Nelli, Of Florence, has fine bronzes.
and Andreoni both marble and bronze
statuettes. An unusually fine exhibit
is a heavy ebony table, made by Mari
ami, of Milan, deliberately inlaid with
ivory, the picture thus formed being
that of battle scene, full OF life and
motion. The Venice laces are stored
in q large pavilion erected by big
firm that employs 5000 lacemakers.
There you will see laces Of every kind,
from two cents the yard up to single
piece-a dress front-that costs 1000.

THE ITALIAN EXHIBIT.
Wonderful Things TO Be Seen in
Manufactures Building.
Unfortunately the Government at Rome
Applied Too Late for Space, Else
TtaIy's Display Would BE
Great One Indeed.
Especial Worlds Fair letter.


There is just one thing that Italy
lacks at the worlds fair to call its eS-
hibit truly great one, and that one
thing is space. AS a matter OF fact,
the priceless objects which she has
sent over here would require at least
double the space that could be accord"
ed them, in order to make the showing
and produce the effect which they
otherwise would. Instead of barely
100, 900 square feet, Italy ought to
have 10000 As it is, her wonderful
artistic products, are crowded into SO
insignificant 8 space are SO entirely
devoid of that outward setting, have
such @ poor background, and are
wedged in SO tightly that the effect is
more than half lost In Manufactures
building, where, of course, the main
exhibit is made, the Italian section is
almost wholly In the dark Light
filters through SO sparingly that in
places one can barely distinguish the
colors and outlines Of the objects ON
view. This regrettable state Of things
is, however, easily explained. Italy
came too late. For long time 1t
looked as if she would make no dis
play at all at our exposition, especially
since her government had given it out
that no appropriation would be made.
Meanwhile France, Germany and Eng
land had been here, had chosen the
best sites, and picked out all the space
they needed, and Italy had to be con-
