World.
Part 4, the special Mid Winter Fair
mum Der of America Photographed con-
tains sixteen magnificent illustrations ali
devoted to San Francisco and the fair.
AS this exposition has been excelled only
by the worlds fairs at Chicago and
Paris, the number will be one Of general
interest. Photographs of all the prin-
cipai buildings. are given, together with
general view of the grounds. Some of
the exhibit of western life are illus
trated, among them being view of the
40 Mining Camp, the Prairie Schooner
of early days, old '49 stage coach and
dance hall and a reproduction of J. W.
Mackey's cabin. The fair was opened
January 9th, and several of the views
were taken on the opening day, one
showing Gov. Markham addressing the
people on that day. Separate photographs
are given of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building. Fine Arts build
ing, Building OF Horticulture and Agri-
culture, Administration building,
Machinery hall and the Santa Barbara
Amphibia. That this number is pub
lished in so fine a manner at such a
short interval after the opening of the
exposition speaks volumes for the enter
prise of the publishers of America
Photographed" These views are all
entirely new and are the first to be pub
lished in book form.

IN receiving number two of this series
was caused by an error in shipping, and
SO number three follows very close after
it. We are sure that all will be pleased
with this number as for excellence of
work, variety in selection, and fine
descriptions, it is fully equal to the two
which have preceded it. The portfolios
in this series do not contain an old
plate. All are made new expressly for
them, and to this is due much of the
excellence of the work. Mr.. Lew Wallace
and bis assistants have every reason to
feel satisfied with the results of their
labors thus far in the preparation of the
work.
We can supply numbers one to three in
the Famous Paintings series. and one to
four in the America Photographed
series. either by mail..or to applicants in
person, on the conditions stated in the
coupons on page three.
