any means. Many nations and lands
which are represented at the fair are
trying to show how up to date, how
successful, ingenious and workmanlike
they are in various directions. Two
races, the Irish and the Japanese, seem
inspired by the idea of showing simply
themselves. To compete for trade is
no doubt a part and an i'm
portant part of their program. But
the main idea is to exhibit their own
social life, civilization and national
character, so that visitors can see not
merely what they produce but what
they are, and what are the guiding
ideas which govern their history.
In the historic loan collection there
are two features which give peculiar
distinction and attraction to this exhi-
bition Of Irish art and industry. One
Of these is the very remarkable collec-
tion of Irish prints and engravings
which has been put together by Mr..
Walter Strickland, of the Dublin Ma
tional Gallery. We have here not only
large collection of landscapes from
every part of the Green Isle, but also
portraits Of almost every man who
played an important part in Irish his
tory and social life from the Eliza
bethan period to the present day. The
series begin with Domnal O'Sullivan,

been allowed to run down in a year
This is because a great many people
