The English admiralty authorities will send to Chicago models of a number of modern English war vessels.
The H. C. Frick Coke company, of Pennsylvania, has decided to make a complete working model in miniature of its entire plant.
The German "village," for which the exposition authorities granted a concession some time ago, will occupy a space 225 by 780 feet on Midway Plaisance.
A topographical map of the Gettysburg battlefield and models of the Centennial exposition and of Independence hall will appear in the Pennsylvania exhibit.
The Ecuador commissioners have had constructed a fac simile of the famous palace of the Inca Perca, the ruins of which stand near the city of Quito, and will exhibit it at the fair.
The horticultural display at the World's fair will be bewildering in extent and marvelous in beauty. The exhibit will possess great scientific and educational value, but to the ordinary visitor its ornamental features will be the most striking.
The New York exposition board is planning to show in its state building an exhibit illustrating completely the art history of the state. An effort will be made to have every New York artist, painter, sculptor, etcher and engraver of talent, from the earliest record, represented.
Carl Hagenbeck, of Hamburg, the celebrated dealer in wild animals, will take to Chicago his entire collection of trained and wild animals: also his collection in natural history. The wild beasts living, together with domestic animals, will go through all sorts of performances.
The most conspicuous ornamental feature of the ducal palace in the city of Brunswick, Germany, is a huge quadriga or chariot, drawn by four horses abreast. The Brunswick Art Industry society will reproduce the quadriga, quarter size, and send it to the World's fair.
