interesting exhibit of the works of Italian artists and sculptors. 

 His intention is to expose in the Italian section only the work 

 of those artists who have been awarded medals by the Fine 

 Arts Jury at the World Fair. This will make the display well 

 worth a visit, easily eclipsing the one in the Fine Arts 

 Building here, which has attracted so much attention. During 

 Signor Zeggio's absence in Rome, his private secretary, 

 Giovanni Almagia, will represent him as Fine Arts Commis- 

 sioner for Italy. 



The Mexican Consul at San Francisco has promised to 

 co-operate with Col. Geo. M. Green, Commissioner Genera 

 for Mexico, in obtaining an excellent display from that 

 country. 



Vladimir Artsimovitch, the Russian Consul at San 

 Francisco, has been appointed President of the Commission 

 in charge of the Russian Exhibits at the Midwinter Fair. 



Diaro Official, the official paper of Mexico, prints a 

 Prospectus of the Midwinter Fair upon which it comments 

 favourably. 



A committee has been formed by the German citizens of 

 San Francisco in aid of the Midwinter Exposition. They 

 have decided to send an address to the authorities of the 

 empire at Berlin, through Secretary of State Gresham and 

 the American Legation at the German Capital. In that 

 address the German Government will be asked to give its 

 official recognition to the Midwinter Exposition, and to send 

 all or part of its exhibit now at Chicago to San Francisco. 



I am of opinion that all those who will be able to go to 

 San Francisco next winter will not regret the expenses and 

 time required for visiting that wonderful country, which climate 

 is really delightful during the months of January, February 

 and March. 



Not only will they be able to enjoy the numerous and 

 interesting sights of San Francisco and surrounding countries, 

 but also the most remarkable sights of the Rocky Mountains 

 and Sierra Nevada. They can easily also, visit the wonderful 

 Salt Lake, and the chief city of the Mormons. Having 

 travelled in all these countries, I guarantee to the visitors of 

 the International Exhibition of San Francisco that they shall 

 have no regrets of having undertaken this somewhat long 

 journey; because I consider California as one of the most 

 interesting sights of the World. A. B.
