WE KEEP EVERYTHING, AND SELL CANADA BY SAMPLES. Displays Made by the Dominion at the World's Fair. /MOW •MOO Natural and Developer! Resources of the Country Arti+tscally Exhibited. (From the Chicago Herald-) With all the enterprise and competitive spirit of her American cousins, Canada has made a display at the World's Fair which admirably serves its purpose of illustrating the natural and developed resources of her vast territory. No department of the exposition has been slighted by Canada. Each big building contains a comprehensive exhibit, installed according to the best methods that could be employed to make it attractive. Possessed of resources so nearly similar to those of this country that but slight distinctions can be drawn, Can- ada bas been animated by the spirit of com- petition more keenly, perhaps, than any other nation represented at Jackson Park. She has given special attention •to the dis- play of her agricultural products, upon which she prides herself most. She has not neglected, either, the treasures hidden beneath her broad giomain, as can be seen in the Mining Building. The same con- scientious endeavor to do,herself justice has been manifested everywhere in the exposi- tion and the result has been most satis- factory to the visitor. Great care has been taken by the Domin- ion official to properly present the display in the Agricultural Building. A beautiful court, covering 7,000 square feet and rising 25 feet from the floor, stands, a model of its kind, on the north side of the centre aisle. It is surmounted by a handsome trophy and by a large stuffed deer from the Rocky Mountains. The curtain which surrounds the court on four sides is made entirely of i ra n and straw tastefully and artistically arranged.. sea rn Sy CD d 0 • tw1+i and O ba, -• re �-t • L7 �•s (D' ctzl nw ;Y' O P 15/ P CD!

A handsome pavilion, made entirely of cereals and grasses from the Ontario Government Agricultural College, at Guelph, is admired by all visitors. Samples of grain, in glees jars, constitute a beautiful trophy which rises to a height of fully 35 feet. The diss play of grain and cereals from the Province of Quebec is one of the most beautiful in the section. There is also a pretty showing of maple sugar. and syrup, which are two sta- ple products of this province. The display of grains and cereals from the great grain - growing areas of the North.West, show the splendid quality and extensive variety of these staples from the storehouse of the Dominion. There is also a splendid exhibit of furs and stuffed birds, which adds largely to the attractiveness of the display. The Maritime Provinces of the Dominion show splendid exhibits of cereals and grains. The mammoth Canadian cheese attracts general attention. There is also a display of bis- cuits, cheese, mineral and aerated waters, bacon and hams. In the annex of the Ag- ricultural Building, Canada has a large dis- play of agricultural machinery.

COAL AND ORE SAMPLES. The samples of coal from British Colum- bia show the excellent quality, both antis recite and bituminousof the inexhaustible coal fields of the Pacific Province. Black diamonds are also taken out in Large quan- tities in the Province of Nova Scotia, and the sparsely wooded and illimitable areas of farming land in the great North-West of the Dominion have a plentiful supply of excellent coal. The Province of Nova Scotia makes a poor show of coal samples despite the fact that she has some of the greatest coal areas on the Continent. The showing of nickle and nickle ore from the Sudbury district of Ontario is one which has attracted universal attention, not ocly of mining experts but of naval officers. The quality of these ores can best be indicated by the result of the recent tests made by the naval departments of Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States, in which Canadian nickel was found -to have the greatest power of resistance, and was by all means the most suitable for the purpose of making armour plates for improved war vessels. The display which Canada makes in the Horticultural Building is one of the most important and attractive in that department of the Fair. There are three Canadian courts devoted to fruit, vegetables and wine exhibits. An interesting feature of this splendid display of fruit is that Canada, not only excels in the variety and quality of harder fruits peculiarr to a northern country but her pears, peaches and the small fruits from Western Ontario are of that firm juicy character which at cnee places them in the first grade of fine fruits. Although the destruction of the cold storage warehouse has greatly impaired the exhibit Canada had in fruits of last year, even yet her dis- play is the, largest shown by any single state or foreign country and occupies about one- sixth of the entire fruit space. Canada Lost through the fire all the fresh fruit which wasstored for examination by the jurors of awards. The Province of Ontario has a large ex- hibit of over five hundred plates, embracing thirty-eight varieties of apples in a fresh state and 1,400 bottles of various kinds of. preserved fruits. In the centre of the court is a display of fruits from the Government Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa. The Province of Quebec has been more success- ful than any of the other provinces in keep- ing up a display of fresh winter apples, of which there are over seventy varieties. Nova Scotia's display of the different varie- ties of apples from the famous Annapolis valley is beyond criticism. The exhibit from British Columbia attracts much attention because of the immense size of the apples and pears. There is also a great variety of the smaller fruits. Prince Edward. Island, the North-West Territories and Manitoba have all creditable displays of the smaller fruits. In the vegetable court in the north pavilion is a display of last year's vegetables contributed by all the Canadian provinces and the Government Experimental Farms of- the Dominion. This is the only exhibit of vegetables in the Department of Horti- culture at the Exposition. nenada has outdone her mother country in the neat and pretty curtains she has erected around her section in the Manu- factures Building. The section is on the west side of Columbia avenue, with Great Britain on her north, Denmark on the south and --Belgium on the east across the avenue. Every foot of 16,000 square feet gf space is crowded with manufactured goods from all parts of Canada. There are a great many lines of manufactured products in the Canadian court which will compare favor- ably with those of the older, more populous and more pretentious manufacturing coun- tries. The cotton king has been at work in the Dominion, and in two long, well -finish- ed native wood cases are most tastefully arranged many of the products of the Cana- dian cotton mills. Cotton fabrics of all kinds are shown, and textile goods occupy a prominent place. Tweeds, meltons, braids, silk thread and carpets are also ex- tensively exhibited. Gloves, hosiery, underwear and ready-made clothing are tastefully arranged in glazed cases made of Canadian elm, birch and cherry. Two very pretty cases are filled with specimens of women's work from different parts of the Dominion. There is also a creditable exhibit of sole and harness leather. Scales, stoves and hollow ware, water heaters, horseshoes, stove polish, screens, rivets, spades, shovels and an immense array of like articles meet the eye in every direction. An exhibit of circular and band saws of al- most every pattern has attracted much at- tention, and it is'doubtful whether in this department Canada is surpassed. A credit- able display of boots- and shoes occupies a prominent position. 020 call itaidget Di,.

At the west side of Canada's space is a very interesting and instructive exhibit made by the Department of Indian Affairs at Ottawa. Here, with the teachers, are a number of Indian boys and girls from the Government Indian Schools in the distant North-West of Canada. These young people daily pursue their work just as if they were at home in their schools. All around are the products of the civilized Indian --grain that he has sown, tilled and harvested, flour that he has ground, roots and vegetables that he has planted and cared for, manufactured goods of many kinds that he has skillfully put together and samples of the work of the -wheel chil- dren of these Indian -tribes under the_ guar- dianship of the Civil Government. There are also many curios of the warpath, the hunt and the trail. The display which the Dominion makes in the Mining Building is a fair index of the natural mineral resources ofthecountry. The Canadian section comprises au area of 10,000 square feet, and is on the main floor, west of the central aisle, extending back under the west gallery. - Canadian flags and bunting give e. gala day appearance to this most interesting section. Upon enter - the large central court the visitor is immediately interested by the great pyra- mids of gold blocks representing the yield BUILDING- AATERIAL ►SUcIT A� Faints, Oils, Glass, Putty Wrought, Out and. `Wire Nails, Spikes, Tools of all kinds, in great Profusion at inter Henry's S°!

Canada's exhibit in Machinery Hall is located at the east end of the centre ficor, immediately opposite that of Great Britain. While this exhibit has many features of peculiar interest to visitors,rnany important lines are abzent,and a number of the largest manufacturers are not represented at all. There is a good display Of automatic and traction engines, compound marine engines, steam injectors and exhausters, high speed engines, fire .engines, water wheels and working machinery of all descriptions. The display of woodworking machinery is one of the finest at the fair. The exhibit of brickmaking machines has attracted special attention. The Canadian exhibit in Transportation Building is on the main centre floor annex and in the west gallery. A feature of the exhibit consists of car couplers and chilled car wheels, for which Canada is noted. There are also semaphores and he adlights for yachts and vessels. Particular interest is manifested in the splendid exhibit of sleighs. In one of the courts is a beautiful model of the sleigh presented by the women of Canada as a wedding present to the Duke of York and the Princess May. It is a magnificent specimen of Canadian workmanship. The display also includes a large exhibit of sporting and pleasure canoes, folding boats, snow shoes, toboggans, etc., for which Canada, as the home of the sportsman, has a world-wide reputation. In the annex of the Transportation Building is a full stand- ard vestibuled train of the Canadian Paci- fic Rsilway, entirely of Canadian Manu- facture, the cars- being made from native Canadian woods. One pecuilarity about this exhibit is that the train was not built for exhibition purposes, but is an exact type of the regular trains on the Canadian Pacific Railway. WONDERFUL WOOD DISPLAYS.
