This offers in particular the magnificent furs for which Eussia is noted.
The beautiful Bohemian glassware, in which visitors to previous expositions have exhibited so much wondering ad- miration, may be seen in profusion in the Austrian exhibit.
Fine embroideries, crockeries and wood- carving forms the principal part of the Hungarian exhibit.
