tion of being a garden city, and It cer
tainly proves by this magnificent floral
show that this fame is fully Justified.
Old Flandrea to Be Reproduced.
One of the chief attractions of this
great world's fair will undoubtedly be
the reconstructed quarters of "Ancient
Flandres," destined to bring to mind
the ancient gables and other pictur
esque details of French, Belgian and
Dutch Flandres.
It is a clever reproduction of tne
ancient town of the counts of Flan
dres, such as It presented itself in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,
with all the characteristic peculiarities
of the various towns of Ghent, Bruges,
Tpres and Termonde.

MUNICH TO BE SCENE
OF WAGNER FESTIVAL
My Americans Have Secured Bookings for Seats at Centenary Perform
ance of Great Masters' Works.
THE xestivai pivi.
immortal works of Richard Wag
ner will be made a special feature
this year on the occasion of the one
hundredth anniversary of the great
master's death.
it will also he the last time that the
festivals will take place under the
copyright protection.
1 Herr Brunno Walter will for the
first time assume tha baton. This new
conductor, who ia to take over the In
heritance of Felix Mottl. of world's
fame. Is already well known In the
music world, and Indeed his extraor
dinary talent and musical abilities tend
to make him a great favorite not only
In Europe, but also with the American
public
The great composer's friend. Hans
Blchter. will also share In conducting
these performances.
The great interest In this year's Wag
ner festivals In the Prince Regent The
ater in Munich Is manifested by the
extraordinary heavy booking, and. In
fact, the demand for seats, particu
larly by Americans, is quite phenome
nal, although the complete programme
has' not yet been published.
There will be quite a selected east
of performers. Including such world
famous artists as Knote. Edith Walker,
Berta Morena. Dr. von Bary. van Roy.
Zdenka Mottl-Fassbender, Madame
Cahler, Maud Pay. Selma Kurz, all of
whom are more or less well known In
America.
To the same extent that It Is sur
prising that Americana every year
come over to Europe, and spread them
selves over the different lands and
towns of the Old World, so Is it sur
prising how great a number of them
visit the capital of Bavaria.
According to the statistics of the In
flux of strangers, published bv the
statistical bureau of the town of Mu
nich. 13.218 citizens of the United
States of America . visited Munich in
112. Most of these Americans were in
Munich during the Summer months. In
May their number amounted to 909.
rose In June to 1303. In July to 3489.
In August to 3555. fell In September
to 1371 and In October to 629.
The average stay of these American
tourists amounted to four or five daya
In many cases, however, it was pro
longed into weeks, and even months.
The average sojourn of Americans In
Munich surpasses that of the people of
all other countries visiting Munich
There must clearly be some special
virtue in Munich, something in its
whole physiognomy, which makes a
stay In this city particularly agreeable
to Americans.
Munich with Its 622.000 Inhabitants
has remained far more than any other
European town a place where one can
enjoy life at one's ease. The many
aided art interests to be found there,
her excellent geographical situation
on the threshold of the Alps, In fact,
only one hour's Journey by train give
to the town a more than attractive
character.
CKy Has German Atmosphere.
While most of the other large towns
of Germany, as for instance Berlin.
-io-t rmssrldorf and so on have
pronounced "American" characteristics
in their every-day lire, jnunicu n
but scarcely a trace. It is Just for this
reason, therefore, that Americana are
visiting the Bavarian capital In such
large numbers and feel quite at their
ease. '
That this is so Is best proved by
the considerable number of American
citizens who have chosen Munich as
vnlllnff nlace. In
1 11 r 1 1 iiciuiMuoit. " ------o
1910 Munich had already 1155 resident
American citizens.

Munich, is the culminating point
among the ever-changing round of
festivities and artistic undertakings In
the city.
The opening of the exhibition on. the
first of June affords a scene of great
magnificence and pomp. When in the
maglo splendor of the elegance of the
Spanish court the royal carriages stop
,h. .titrdnro to the Krlass pal
ace, with the prince regent, the
princes ana princesses, luo mimsu v
state, the masters of ceremonies, the
diplomatic service and leading nobili
ties, the representative of the Pope In
the "cappa magna." the representatives
of art and science and .the municipal
authorities enter the vestibule amidst
the Joyous fanfares of the trumpets;
then one might well experience a mo

Travelers Rare Advantages for Sightseeing.
-UIRTT-THREE years ago (1880) I
I the granite rampart of the Alps
was pierced through for tne nrsi

bottbard, by which to reach Italy.
' Since then numerous railways and
tunnels have been constructed, which

Building Progress to Be
Shown at Leipzic
Many American Cities to Be Rep
resented at Architectural Exhibit.
"The event of 191Sr
Such is the description prophetically
given by the savants of the building
world to the great exhibition to be
held at Leipzig this year.
The main purpose of the exhibition
Is to show clearly the vast development
that building and Its allied rades have
made throughout the centuries and the
part that science has played la aiding
such development.
One of the principal features of this
unique and Important world's show
will undoubtedly be "Town building"
and "Town planning." and the extra
ordinary Interest taken in this matter
manifests itself in the numerous appli
cations from municipalities of both
German and foreign, especially Ameri
can, cities.
In view of the fact that highly im
portant issues are involved In the
question of "Town building," from Na
tional, social and economlo points of
view, the utmost attention will De lav
ished upon these sections. The much
disputed problem of terminal and
through traffic stations will also be
treated in a manner comprehensible to
all.
Amongst the many nations partici
pating In this great exhibition the
United States of America will be worth
ily represented. A special committee
has been formed under the presidency
of Glen Brown, secretary-general of
the Association of American Architects,
to give every facility to intended ex
hibitors as well as to the general
American public desirous of visiting
this unique exhibition.
A prominent feature of the American
section will be the exhibition of numer.
ous pictures, models and plans of "sky
scrapers" amongst which will be an
excellent model of the well known
"Woolworth House," the latest crea
tion of the architect, C. Gilbert
The municipality of San Francisco
will have a prominent place. This fact
is of Importance, considering that the
city which was practically destroyed
by earthquake and fire, has Geen com
pletely rebuilt on the most modern
principles and Is now one of the finest
in the world.
The general character of the exhibi
tion will not only be purely scientific
but also fundamentally interesting, not
only to the technical man, but also
to the layman.
PARIS AUTO DEALER SHOT
Supposed Customer Dangerously
.1 Wounds Demonstrator on Spin.
PARIS, May 20. A crime, the daring
of which recalls some of the exploits
of the motorcar bandits who were re
cently guillotined, was committed to
day when an automobile dealer named
Dardene was shot by an apparently
well-to-do customer who asked the
dealer to conduct a trial spin of an
automobile to fcenlis. about 32 miles
from Paris, where, he said, his rela
tives would buy the car.
When entering Senlls forest, the
customer on some pretext got Dardene
to stop the car and then fired six
shots from a revolver at him. pushed
him out of the car, calmly started the
motor and drove away. Dardene is
seriously wounded.

DUSSELDORF IS NOTED
CENTER OF FINE ART
Historic City on Rhine Has Been Home of Many Famous Painters and
Composers Birthplace of Heine.
ON the Dussel a mall tributary
the Rhine there -was In the mid
dle of the 12th century an Insigni
ficant fishing village called Dusseldorf.
Under the Counts, later Dues of
Burg the village was promoted to the
dignity of a township (1288), and about
100 years later became the residential
seat of the Dues of Burg. It was not
until Johann Wllhelm, called, "Jan
Wellem" the elector of the Pfalz, took
over the administration of Dusseldorf,
that hew life was restored.
One of the foremost thoughts of this
new ruler was directed towards the
development of arts and crafts, and
with his own splendid collection of
paintings he laid the foundation stone
to Dusseldorfs fame as a city of art.
In 1767 the Elector Karl Theordor
founded the Academy of Art, and also
the famous Library of Dusseldorf. He
also laid out . a large part of the
magnificent parlc and gardens, known
under the name" of "Hofgarten," which
today forms part of one of the many
sights of Dusseldorf.
In the same period were built the
well-known castle "the Jagerhof." the
electoral stables with their fine and
unique gables carved in wood, and also
the magnificent castle at Benrath. near
Dusseldorf, and famous for Its charm
ing parks.
rr-L TFvnlut1on and subse
quent French occupation again visited
the town with hard times; but to the
strong hand of an organizer such as
Napoleon I. who in 1808 took over the
administration of the Grand Duchy of
Berg himself, Dusseldorf owes amongst
many beneficial institutions.
After the breakdown of the Napole
onic reign, Dusseldorf was in May,
1816, incorporated with Prussia, when
commenced a new era of remarkable
activity and success.
The population then was only 20,000.
It has Increased ever since so consid
erably that Dusseldorf today has a
population of about 600,000.
The Importance of Dusseldorf as a
city of art may be gauged from the
fact that famous painters such as Cor
nelius, Schadow, Hildebrandt, Bleib
treu, Achenbach and many other cele
brated masters are connected with its
academy of arts, while such world-renowned
masters of music as Felix Men-delsohn-Batholdy
and Robert Schu
mann have been acting there as con
ductors of the Municipal Orchestra, and
by composing there many of their im
mortal works have greatly contributed
to the fame of Dusseldorf as a city of
arts.
Dusseldorf is also known as the
birthplace of the great poet Helnrich
Heine.
But not only is Dusseldorf a leading
seat of art and science, but Is also re

portant centers of industry and com
merce. The traffic on the Rhine, owing to
the superb dockyards and wharves,
which in recent years have been tre
mendously enlarged, has extraordinarily
Increased during the last 15 years. A
new railway bridge across the Rhine
has also been built and is acknowl
edged as a marvel of modern engi
neering. Its total traffic today is five
times what it was 15 years ago.
Dusseldorf is charmingly located on
the Rhine, and is surrounded by mag
nificent extended parks and gardens,
which greatly add to its many attrac
tions, and of which Dusseldorf may be
Justly proud. The city is also keenly
Interested in all sorts of aerial sports
and possesses a huge aerodrome for
Zeppelin airships.
Dusseldorf is actually - one of the
leading cities of modern Germany, and
the annually increasing number of
foreign visitors, chiefly Americans,
clearlv indicates that the fame of Dus
seldorf as a center of arts, industry
and commerce is Indeed well founded.
