BUFFALO. Oct. n.-Among the visitors
to the Pan-American Exposition in these
October days are many who saw the Rain
bow City earlier in the season, and who
liked it so much that they return for one
more visit before the gates close next
month. There is much that is new TO
such visitors, for many exhibits have been
sent in since the early period Of the eX-
position. This is especially true OF the
South American countries. many OF which
were belated in getting their exhibits here.
Visitors 10 the exposition in May and June
did not see the Cuban exhibit, which is
one Of the most interesting, both on &C
count Of the excellence OF the exhibit and
on account OF the interest pertaining to
Cuba as the newest of the American Re
publics, and because of its close connec-
ton with the United States.
The Chile exhibit is another which was
not arranged during the first six weeks Of
the exposition, and it is an exhibit none
should miss seeing, both on account of the
displays OF industrial enterprises in chile
and the art collection which the exhibit
includes.
Brazil was one of the last Of the Latin
American countries to install its exhibit,
and with the arrival of this exhibit, almost
every one Of the important Latin-American
countries has some representation IN the
exposition. Brazi's exhibit was not to be
seen until the latter part of August ana
the mines building, where 1T would have
been placed, was filled at that time. IL
was, therefore, placed In the conservatory
leading from that building to the horticul-
ture building. The collection OF minerals.
photographs illustrating mining in Brazil
and similar exhibits form quite a large
display, and are well worth seeing.
BROUGHT FROM JAMAICA.
-. LII I'LL - - 800
is that from the Island of Jamaica, which
is to be seen in the north conservatory adj
joining the horticulture building. Although
not a large exhibit, it shows a surprising
degree of progress in industrial matters
in this colony Of Great Britain. Specimens
Of coffee from crops that are now being
consumed in Russia are shown. This is
one OF Jamaica's principal crops. English
men control the plantations there chiefly.
An opportunity for Americans to find a
profitable Investment is here given. The
sugar crop of jamaica is also a very inn
portant crop. 1t has a large variety OF
fruit, and the tobacco industry is a lead
ing one. All these industries are repre-
sented In the exhibits at the exposition.
The exhibits in some of the buildings
lave been changed also since the early
part OF the exposition, so as TO give variety
or for some other obvious reason. For
instance, in the horticulture building one
may now see magnificent displays of
grapes. this being the grape season. also
fresh apples instead of cold storage apples,
which were shown during the early part
Of the season. There are beautiful exhibits
OF dahlias, gladiolas, and so forth, which
furnish quite an ornamentatiOn TO this
building.
Every week since the exposition opened
has witnessed the holding OF various con-
VentiOnS of some kind or other. A large
number of organizations have selected Oc-
tober as the month for holding their meet
ings at the Pan-American city. Four events
of this character for the coming week are
the conventions of the Medal of Honor
Legion, the Federation Of Women's Clubs,
the National Grange day and the Interna-
tional Sunshine Society.
Another great event of this week is the
horse show. There are 500 representative
of the finest blooded stock. and nineteen
conspicuous classes are represented. AL
the breeds of the United States and Canada
are seen here. and there are special i'm
portations of Belgians, Percherons, French
coaches and hackneys.
