up into several thousands, OF a large
variety of Norwegian Christmas cards,
so called. The Norwegian Christmas
cards differ from ours in being each
one veritable piece yof art. They
generally consist of magnificent color
prints about the size Of an ordinary
cabinet photograph OF some noted
painting Thus, some Of the cards
which will be for sale at the fair are a
faithful reproduction of the painting
at the worlds fair by Christian
Krohg, representing the discovery Of
America by the Norwegian, Left Ericl
son. There will be display of more
than 200 different kinds of these cards
on sale in Old Norway.
The committee has also secured the
last copies extant Of a large Autograph
of Ole Bull made in Paris in the year
1916. In was by the merest accident
that Mr. Arctander discovered the ex-
istence of these gems Of antiquity in
an old bookstall in Paris.
Next to the booth Of Old Norway
will be found at the fair the Norwegian
bookstore. The publishers Of Norway
have all to a man sent the committee
copy, and in many instances several
copies, of their best publications. Last
Wednesday it received from the GUS
tom house three boxes, weighing nearly
a ton, of this contribution. All sorts
of books are represented in the col
lection, which numbers over 1000
volumes, and The ..er:cal force of the
committee is now busily engaged in
sorting, arranging and marking the
different books, which will be sold at
considerably lower price than they
could be bought for in Norway
The contribution of music publishers
Of Norway has also been received.
Ii contains 1. collection O. about 500
different cor positions ard every Nor
wegiaa composer of note, from Ole Bull
down to Grieg. is represented by some,
if not all, of their greatest works. In
the collection are also several different
editions of Norwegian musical folk
lore. When 1t is considered that, per-
haps, not 10 of these different COM
positions have before been obtainable
in Minneapolis, ii will easily be under
stood that lovers Of music will at tue
music store of the fair find great
deal to interest them, more especially
as the musical works are marked away
down and sold at a reasonable figure.
Among other attractions at the fair
may be mentioned what is called A
Trip with hansen to the North Pole.
1t is combination of a panorama and
a merry go round, representing in
handsome pictures and with weird
light effects the voyage Of Fran into
the Arctic ices, and the explorations Of
the great traveller after he left his
boat
The contributions of the painters
and other artists of the United States
are coming in fast, and the 80 paint
ings from Norway arrived in New York
recently in good order, and are expect
ed in Minneapolis during the week 1t
is expected that large sum will be
raised for the completion of the Ole
Bull monument to be raised here.

called Gamble Norge" or "Old Nor
way and which promises TO be one

the fair, have during the week been
cleared from the custom house.
One of the main attractions Of this
booth will, perhaps, be the magnificent
display of old country jewelry manu-

David Anderson of Christiana, who at
the worlds fair at Chicago, had one
of the finest displays in his line,

that it is the plank which pledges that

be enforced without the
consent Of the governor Of the state.
For the first time in history this
