This amount though is less than a third of the total sum «hich will be spent upon the Britich rection of the great display, for there to be about 800 exhibitors who will werage fully $1,000 each, thus bringing the total up to at least €1,100,000.

From present indications 1t would seem as though the strong feature of Britain's exhibit will be found in the building devoted to the fine arts. Sir Frederick Leigh- ton, president of the Royal Academy, is super- intending the selection, and is doing his ut-| most to have every living English artist and | sculptor of renown represented by at least one production.

The Capital, which published a learned edi- torial last week about the visit of Gen.

After having made such a stupid blunder it ought to hide its head in shame for about a month. The worst of it is, the Capital didn’t inform its reacers of its bad break, as it should have done the next day.
