Paris, April 16. = The Paris eNposi-
ton was opened at noon Saturday. The
most favorable weather conditions pre-
vailed and innumerable bright colored
domes and minarets glistened in the
sunshine. Paris was early astir with
people vending their way towards the
Elysee and in the direction of the eN-
position, in the hope of witnessing the
presidential procession at some part of
its Journey.
All the public buildings and number
less private houses were decorated with
trophies of flags, chiefly the tri-color.
The neighborhood of the exposition
was especially gay with bunting.
while most of the pavilions themselves
We're surmounted with floating ban
ners.
Busy Scene.
Within the exposition grounds all
was hustle and animatio in supreme
effort to clear away all unsightly OBJ
stacles in order to leave an unob-
structed road and an external appear
ance of completeness to the palaces for
the presidential party in its passage
through the grounds. The finishing
touches were hastily given the mag
nifcent Sale DIES Fetes. The aspect of
the exposition has materially i'm
proved from even that of Friday and
although the installation of exhibits
has mutually undergone little advance
the external effect produced by the in
cessant labors of the past couple of
days is already fine and decidedly pic
turesque.
The unfinished condition of the eX-
position on Inauguration day is regret
table and perhaps misleading. 1t must
be borne in mind that this is only a
passing phase and on its completion
within three weeks or month from
now the exposition will undisputably
be the most attractive and magnificent
yet seen.

American Enterprise.

American, enterprise, however, is not
only shown in the size of her repre-

ness of her installation as compared
with the most of the other countries,
and it can safely be said that, but for
the dilatoriness of French workmen
and methods, the United States exhib-
1t would have been exposed in their
show cases to Saturdays visitors. I'm
fortunately French hardness ham
pered all American efforts to rush mat
ters. Thus in most of our show spaces
everything is prepared, the glass cases
are ready to receive exhibits, but the
American officials are afraid to display
the valuable articles to the likelihood
of damage by the clouds of dust aris-
ing from work on the adjacent embry-
