the arts of painting and sculpture, carpet weav-
ing, and other branches of industrial art, in its
strict sense, be adequately represented, but there
will be displayed a great variety of ancient objects
in the production or adornment of which artistic
talent was exercised, such as weapons of sundry kinds,
tents, standards, saddles, trophies, musical instru-
ments, costumes, fabrics. A group of Munich
artists are occupying themselves with the fitting
up of the exhibition halls for the reception of the
exhibits, and will undertake the arrangement of
the latter. The Great Hall bearing the name
of Prince Ludwig, is being transformed into a
" Festsaal," which will be capable of accommodating
several thousand spectators in the amphitheatre.
In the exhibition grounds also improvements are
being made, in one portion (the South Park)
trees are being planted to provide a shady retreat
in sunny days, while ample provision is also being
made for recreation in wet weather, and here too
the services of artists and architects have been
enlisted. A colony of oriental craftsmen working
at their various industries, such as carpet weaving,
silk and cotton weaving, gold and silver work, etc.,
will be one of the features of the exhibition, and
special buildings are being provided for them.

of the year 1910 in this
city will be a great exhibi-

Mohammedan art in the permanent
exhibition buildings erected here some
three years ago. Preparations for this
have been on foot for some time past,

the loan of a large number of interest-
