Exhibits. According to the official catalogues, 

 there were 79,712 entries, distributed among the 

 18 groups as follows: Group I, 7,142; Group II, 

 8.620; Group III, 4,779; Group IV, 1,317; Group 

 V, 1.051; Group VI, 3,378; Group VII, 8,739; 

 Group VIII, 1,361; Group IX, 2,315; Group X, 

 14.308; Group XI, 3,735; Group XII, 3,928; Group 

 XIII, 5,256; Group XIV, 2,942; Group XV, 3,948; 

 Group XVI, 5,380; Group XVII, 888; Group 

 XVIII, 657. Of these exhibits, 6,674 were from 

 the United States. The number of exhibits from 

 France was 31,946, which alone exceeded the 

 United States. It is impossible to summarize the 

 exhibits shown, but the number of awards received 

 by exhibitors from the United States demonstrates 

 the superiority and remarkable advances that have 

 been made in this country since the Columbian 

 Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893. The follow- 

 ing extracts from a series of articles by experts 

 will serve to show something of the character of 

 what was done for the United States by its ex- 

 hibitors in Paris. The fine arts exhibit constituted 

 unquestionably the finest collection of works by 

 American artists that had " ever been brought to- 

 gether." The mining exhibit was described as 

 comprising representative specimens of all of the 

 commercial mineral products of the United States, 

 a general collection of systematic mineralogy, a 

 reference library, and a collective exhibit of metal- 

 lurgical processes and products. The army and 

 navy of the United States were represented by a 

 collection of exhibits sent by the War and Navy 

 Departments, or the various bureaus thereof, by 



P private individuals and by firms who contracted 

 for the work under the Government, or to furnish 

 the military and naval service with war materials, 

 apparatus, and appliances. 

 Awards. The work of the Jury of Awards, 

 notwithstanding the enormous number of exhibits 

 to be examined and the intense heat prevalent in 

 Paris, proceeded with remarkable celerity, and on 

 Aug. 18 the announcement of the awards was made 

 by President Loubet. According to the official 

 bulletin, 42,790 awards were made, which were 

 distributed as follows: Grand prizes, 2,827; gold 

 medals, 8,166; silver medals, 12,244; bronze medals, 

 11,615; and honorable mentions, 7,938. In addi- 

 tion to the foregoing, about 50,000 commemorative 

 diplomas will be issued to collaborators. Of the 



awards made, the United States received: Grand 

 prizes, 240; gold medals, 597; silver medals, 770; 

 bronze medals, 540 ; honorable mentions, 322 ; 

 total, 2,476, or more awards than any other nation 

 exhibiting except France. The official comment 

 has been made that these figures " indisputably 

 demonstrate that not only did the United States 

 have many more exhibitors at the exposition than 

 any other foreign nation, but that the extent and 

 quality also of the exhibits have been approved 

 by the ablest international jury ever organized, 

 which has granted the exhibitors of our nation 

 the largest number of awards of all of the visit- 

 ing nations." Germany received 1,826 awards; 

 England, 1,727; and Russia, 1,493.
