fortunately detained in the Government Steamer, Northern Light, from the 9th of January 

 until tho 20fch of March, and was much injured by this delay, and cannot therefore bo 

 exhibited in the condition in which it was shipped. The long voyage of the ship Latona, 

 around Cape Horn, from Victoria, from the 19th of December until the 12th of May, with 

 the British Columbia Specimens, has greatly injured also the exhibit of that distant 

 Province of Canadn.

 Go vrernment.] 



In the centre of the Canadian Court is erected a large^Trophy, representing the Economic 

 and Commercial products of the Fisheries of Canada. 



The form of the Trophy is circular, with a base of 24 feet diameter, and a superstructure of 

 34 feet in height. The lower platform contains salted, cured, and pickled fish of various kinds 

 as sent to the markets of the world. Pyramids of original packages and cans of Salmon, 

 Lobsters, Mackerel and other fish, are here shown as put up for export trade from British 

 Columbia and the Atlantic Provinces. Above these are suspended in circular form Smoked 

 Salmon, Dried Cod, and other fish, with a larger circle above hung with native Lobsters in 

 their natural and preserved state, surmounted again by more pyramids of canned goods, and 

 mounted fishes. Following up the structure is seen a stuffed Beaver, the National Emblem 

 of Canada, upon whose back rests the great Shield of Canada emblazoned with the insignia of 

 the several Provinces of the Dominion, and encircled by another Emblem, the maple leaf of 

 Canada. Projecting outwards from this are representative illustrations of fishing implements 

 interwoven with nets, bunting, &c. Following upwards is the large Blue Banner with 

 " Canada " upon it, and the cross fishes, on the summit is the Crown of England. 



There is also in the inner part of the Court a scientific trophy, containing illustrative 

 specimens of marine mammals, fishes in alcohol, mollusca, and Crustacea.
