How Those Who Stay ut Home Can See
the Great Exposition.
Believing that nothing is too good for
the readers of The Times, our business de-
partment has arranged TO supply them
each week with the serial issues OF 1.-THE
Partisan Dream City" the special Amer
lean reproduction of the great Paris Elk
position. The first number will be ready
May 18th, and succeeding numbers will
be issued each week during the con-
tinuance of the Fair for a period of
twenty weeks.
There are several features of special
value connected with this work that
deserve more than a passing notice. The
plan of issuing it weekly possesses the
merit Of enabling the millions of our own
people who cannot cross the water to
actually visit the Exposition once g, week
and observe it in its progress from be-
ginning to end. for the Insignificant sum
of ten cents.
This series also has the distinction of
official recognition, in the fact that it is
introduced by Frederick Mayer editor OF
the French official organ of the Expo
sition and the bulk of the Photographic
views are supplied by Marius Bar, the
official photographer of the government,
specially detailed for this work. who will
| remain at the Fair during the entire
period of it's active life. The rest of the
views will be furnished by the famous
Neurdien Brothers, the most eminent
landscape photographers of France, whose
art has brought them not only fame, but
a fortune of more than a million dollars
Additional weight and influence attaches
to this series through the Introductory
Statement of American Commissioner
| General Peck, which appears in the first
number.
The views are printed by the new
| Nickeltype process, which accurately re-
| produces all the soft lines, shades and
| tints of the original photographs and pre-
serves the beautiful artistic features- that
have made the work of the Neurdein
Brothers so famous.
The descriptive features are by Mr..
Jose de Olivares, the distinguished author,
war correspondent and writer Of delight
