The first piles have just been driven for the foundation of the palace in which the Lyons Fair will be held hereafter. The building will cover thirty acres of ground alongside the park of the Tete d'Or on the banks of the Rhone, and will accomodate 4,000 exhibitors. The cost is estimated at 20,000,000 francs. This outlay is justified on the ground that the gross receipts from last year's fair were 1,200,000 francs. The remarkably increased interest of American firms in the enterprise was the outstanding feature of the last fair. They numbered 543 as against 25 in 1016, and the United States passed from sixth in importance among foreign exhibitors to the first rank, with more than four times as many exhibitors as any other foreign country. The figures were: American, 543; English, 130; Swiss, 114; Spanish, 33; Italian, 40; Dutch, 22. Business approaching 500,000,000 francs was transacted. This exceeds the business done at the Leipzig fair of 1014 when the organizers announc ea a total ot 3UU,(JUU,UU0 marks. The Palais de la Foire as it will be called will furnish office accomodations to exhibitors as well as stands, warehousing facilities, rail transportation to doors of the palace and ample provision will be made for clearing exhibits through the customs at offices on the grounds.
