THE CASTLE IN 1890.

all Giacomo Trivulzio, scion of a noble
Milanese family, brave soldier, pol
ished gentleman, an accomplished schol-
ar and above all a practical man of af-
fairs. The grounds about the castle are
spacious and beautiful and crossed by a
network of noble avenues-they call
them Was in Milan-and the whole
space has been decorated in the gayest,
most attractive manner possible. Espe-
cially bright was the appearance of the
grounds on the opening day, which was
graced by the presence of the king and
queen themselves, Premier Crispi and
many other Italian dignitaries.
The central buildings are described as
very beautiful They were designed by
Caviterre Giuseppe Somarugga, an en-
inent Milanese architect. Other impor-
tant buildings are the Pompeiian thea
ter, the Sports building, many cafes,
restaurants, etc. One of the most i'm
portant departments Of the entire show
is that devoted to the tt'operaja," or
working class. The experiments that
have been made in the direction of CO.
operative labor in Milan have been elab-
crate and SO successful as to attract the
attention Of students and economists
from all over Europe. With full consid-

exposition have given this department.
more space than any other, and they
have been rewarded for their sagacity
by the absorbing interest that has been
bestowed thereon by the visitors.
The horticultural section has been ar
ranged in such manner as to display a
constant succession of exquisite blooms,
possibly the palms and orchids being
the most attractive features. The photo
graphic section is also highly interest
ing. One is bewildered, however, in
trying to decide which he shall admire
most-the artistic or the scientific fea-
lures In printing, too, there are many
most interesting devices shown, and one
OF these makes it possible, so it is re-
ported, to print any number Of colors
at one impression. The new process is
called sincromia, and it is asserted that
as many copies Of plate with 100 COL
ors may be made in one day by this
method as may be turned off by the old
method of a picture Of five colors in
week. Besides there are not the same
opportunities for misprinting, owing,
Of course, to the use OF but one plate in
the new process, as by the old, in which
as many plates are required as there are
colors to be shown.
The musical section, located in the
Pompeiian theater, is also most inter-
esting one. 1t abounds in manuscript
and autographic scores by the most en-
inent Italian composers, and likewise
in a marvellous variety of operatic cos
tunes. The department of fine arts is
one to draw out the most enthusiastic
admiration Of picture lovers and those
who delight in sculpture. There are
2, 1000 pictures in all and bewildering
variety of examples of the plastic art.
The departments devoted to telegraphy
and photography, too, are worthy of
special mention, the exhibits being of
intense interest alike to the professional,
the amateur and the layman.
Among the structures the splendid
arch of peace is a marvel of artistic
beauty. In fact, the exposition of Milan,
taken altogether or considered in parts,
quite merits the extensive patronage
that is being bestowed upon it.
