countries have been personally
invited to take part, and nearly
all have accepted the invitation.

The site chosen for the Exhi-
bition is the beautiful island
Djurgarden, which lies in the
district of Stockholm. A fantas-
tic city is already appearing
there, and all agree that in more
than one of the buildings now
being fitted up, one can see
traces of a revival of Swedish
architecture, which until now has
not always been able to stand
the test of comparison. The
Committee of the Exhibition has
the good fortune to have as Presi-
dent the youngest son of the
King, Prince Eugen, who is one
of our most original and sensi-
tive artists, a man of strong
individuality and open mind, and
with a courteous and fascinating
manner; and by his side stands
as head Commissioner, the
painter, Oscar Bjorck. The
other Commissioners are :—F.
Bohery (architect), Count Von
Rosen, Baron G. Cederstroon,
R. Berg, and Zoon (the painters),
and the sculptor, T. Lindberg.
