the Loodoe Mechanics' Institution—who pointed out that
; if the exhibition were delayed beyond the peanut year it
, would lose the poetical idea of the peace jubilee involved in

re;olutioe, but reserved his opium as to what would be
the proper period foe bolding the exhibition. The rase-
i lotion was then put and earned.
