WONDERFUL ARTISTIC WORK


Mechanics Pavilion last night.
Prominent educators of this city, among
them Messrs. SWEET and Denman, honored
the management with their presence. Both
Of the gentlemen mentioned examined
everything very minutely, especially the
general class exhibits. They each expressed
themselves as being much pleased with the
work exhibited, and marveled much at the
development and magnitude of the work
done by the pupils of the various converts
and colleges.
The exhibits attracting the most attention
now are those destined for the Chicago
Worlds Fair. OF course, only the finest
specimens of handiwork and craft are ad-
mitted by the Commissioners.
The technical school of ST. Francis. under
the immediate charge of the Sisters of
Charity occupies the position of honor
as FAR as fine work is concerned-this, of
course, applying only to the higher branches
of needlework and art. Miss Ella Spaul-
ding has contributed piece Of embroidery
that for beauty Of design and elegance can
not well be equaled. It represents the
flowers of the Pacific Coast, embroidered
in one hundred and eight shades of single
strand machine-twist on sapphire blue satin
de Leon. 1t represents a basket of Cali
fornla's choicest blossoms, the weight OF
which has broken the handle of the basket,
scattering some of the garlands. The
amountof work on this one piece is marvel

midst of the bunch. They are almost as
true as nature itself. One lily alone took
forty-eight hours to complete. Panses,
marguertes, lllacs, ferns. autumn leaves,
smllax, and the neatest and most delicate
maiden hair, on each tiny leaf of which

Writing about such a beautiful piece of
work Is like telling of the millions of dollars
securely stored in the mint. One cannot
conceive the beauty Of the production uu-
less it is seen. The girls have so many
fine specimens all of which are worthy of a
place in the nations exh bit that it is left
to the visitor TO pick out the next finest
work of art in the BOOTH

traits. a heart pierced by a dagger. the

harp in the booth of the Sisters of Mercy.
The colleges of the Notre Dame have one
fine exhibit particularly worthy. IL is n
collection OF musical compositions, on the
cover Of each of which is hand-painted a
figure of the instrument for which the piece
is written.

Bernard dog. decked in the college colors.
attracted much attention. He is the mas
cot of the college ball team and big fellow
he is. Jumbo, as he is called, tips tile scales
at 200 pounds. On st. Patricks day the
boys threaten to dye him green and use him
as mascot sure enough. Bets were made
last night that they would win the game,

Father Connolly wants to refute the
statement of an evening paper that the ey
hbit is ''church fair" It is not in anv
way like an ordinary church fair. Nothing
but candy is sold or given away and no
solicitors are about the hall TO worry the
visitors.
You can buy all the candy you want, and
the Misses Quinn, Riley and Conway will
supply all demands in this respect.
