Chicago, May G,—Tl.re Dominion of Can-
ada, situated as everybody 'thaws, imme-
diately north of the United States, will sae's
cnpy do moan position At the fair. That
Canada is a country of wonderful resources
in fact, must become apparent to all wllo
examine the splendid exhibits which have
been sent from the various proyiuces, It
is creditable to the enterprise of our neigh. -
bars that from the very inception of the
exhibition they took an active interest ia.
it, and that their efforts will be successful
in competing with the producers of the
world in many linea cannot be doubted, lu
almost every line the Dominion makes a
show, and in many of them she will more
than hold her own, Ontario, which has
alwaye held rank as the leading agricultu-
ral province,suetains her reputation in this
direction with a magnificent exhibit of all
kinds of agricultural produots,grains, roots,
vegetables, cheese, butter, fruits, horses,
cattle, awino, sheep, poultry, all of the fin-
est quality to be found anywhere. The
great t;raira-growing country of the north
went territories also eonaes up in a manner
which produces universal surprise, and
farmers iu southern latitudes find it diffi-
cult to believe that sack wonderful success
iu agriculture can be achieved in that
northern zeue. The northwest show of
grains, grassea, roots and vegetables, wilt].
be au imposing feature during the whole.,of
the exhibition. Manitoba and Quebec
also distinguish themselves in this respect,
while ,the Pacific province of British Col-
umbia excels espeoially iu the products of
the nine, fisheries, forestry and hortioal-
ture. Special mention may be made of
the great cheese exhibit, in which most of
the provinces take .part. The mammoth
cheese, 11 toes in weight, is oue of the
huge items of this'eahibit. In addition to
theantioles mentioucd above, there will be
exhibts in the educational, ethuolopical,
natural history, manufacturing and art de-
partmen ts.
The.Cauadiau pavilion stands upon a
site of nearly six thousand square feet of
ground on the lake shore, but a abort dis.

and tamest opposite Victoria house—the
handsome aid •substantial building rthat
has been erected by ,Great Britain—and in
due of ,the .most .delightful localities in
Jacksou park. The view from the "look.
out" on the tower of the paviliou is simply.
perfect. It exteods on oue side to where
the reetless:waters of the great lake seem
to kiss ,the distant horizon; and ou.the
•other side takes ;u the magnificent pier,
the architecturally beautiful peristyle and
