141 - L June 16; ed: 2/1 - Secretary Seward told the Senate that the
line projected by Collins, from the Pacific telegraph to the Amoor River,
with its anticipated extension by the Russian government to Irkutsk, º
would be the one link now wanted to supply direct and unbroken telegraph
communication from Cape Race in Newfoundland, on the Eastern coast of
America, across the Eastern and Western continents and the Pacific Ocean,
to Cape Clear in Ireland, the westermost projection of Europe. -
A submarine cable laid between Cape Clear and Cape Race will complete
a telegraphic circuit around the world between the parallels of 42 degrees
and 65 degrees north latitude. (11)

820 - L. Feb. 25:2/2,4; 3/2, 6 - A beautiful sunny day greeted the fair yes-
terday. The bazaar occupies the west wing of the fair building which is
lighted by gas with heat supplied by stoves and steam apparatus under the
floor, covering an area of 6,000 feet. It has the splendor of oriental
magnificence with its drape of flags and evergreens. The bazaar has a
large book and stationery booth, and delegates from the land of the celet-
tial offer for sale a splendid collection of Chinese and Japanese wares at
their booths, Cotton, evergreens, sledges, reindeer, Moscovian ice palaces
make one booth distinctively Russian. The bazaar boasts its own postoffice
for the convenience of patrons,
The SANITARY FAIR GAZETTE is published daily and circulated by thou-
sands. Editors, printers, and pressmen are all there and the paper is made
up and run off amid the throng. - -
H. Craig, well-known microscopist, has a glass-blowing apparatus which
turns out beautiful varied figures.
In the fine arts hall several hundred worlºs by leading artists of Europe
and America are shown. There are paintings by Teniers, Kauffman, Rossiter,
Clough, Paul Webber, and others. Among the truly great pictures are CAMP
FIRE, TOWN PUMP, and MAIL DAY.
The third floor of the court house contains a museum which has curiosi-
ties from the fields of geology, mineralogy, zoology, and ornithology. War
machinery, E. Beebe's collection of stamps, coins and specimens of auto-
graphs from all the famous men in the United States are also on display.
Floral hall takes its text from nature and has so shaped its bowers,
water falls, and summer houses. Here is beauty, culled from nature and
shaped by art. The hall is octagonal-shaped, occupying the center of the
square. Entering the hall on the south side you ascend a stairway to an
elevated floor to view every part of this beautiful layout.
The fruit, the telegraph, cone, flower rustic gardening, and Indian tea
garden booths are just a few of the beautiful booths of the fair. It is
estimated that clear profits will amount to over $100,000. - (166)
