ANGLO-AMERICAN EXHIBITION.

Tins year Slfepherd's Hush, London,| is to reopen more gaily and elabor-i a tidy than ever with an Anglo-Amcri-! can Exhibition. A London cor.’-j spv'ident states that it is inteude 1 nil this way to celebrate the hundred| years of peace between the English- 1 speaking peoples since the Treaty otj Ghent, and tn indicate the progress j which peace has made possible in that j time. It is easy to see the enorni-j ons scope of such a scheme, and '-Kaj tlie committee that has been formed,! the co-operation of America, and the] genius of Mr frme Kiralfy, high c.x-j pectations are reasonable. The pai-! ran of the exhibition is the Duke of Connaught, and the Duke of feck. ;s| president. Lord Kin tore, who is chairman of tlie Executive Committee, mentioned at the Savoy Hotel to a party of those interested in the matter that the exhibition would be housed in over a hundred palaces and pavilions, and that the whole 1 scheme was already far advanced and working smoothly. At the Shepherd’s Bush Exhibition the Panama Canal will be represented in an elaborate working model, designed under the instruction of the American engineers. Another feature will be an 800 ft. panorama of New York City as seen from the water. The whole exhibition will have a very unfamiliar look, as the courts are all to be painted differently and the scheme of the color in each case will be carried out through the attendants’ costumes and in the arrangement of the flowers- and erections. . The art section will He largely influenced by the' Committee of American artists in Paris.
