be desirable or necessary,
The manufacturers and mechanics who have
heretofore deposited in our exhibitions credltabIe
specimens Of their productions, have experienced
the advantageous effect thereof IN the extended
knowledge thus given to the public OF the novelty
or excellence of their respective articles; and those
who have hitherto neglected TO do so will doubtless
find il their interest to avail themselves OF the OPP
portunty which is now offered. --.
In no other way can the merits and excellence Of
the vast variety Of goods displayed at our exhlbi
TONS be so well made known TO the public. What
ever 10 nC"g WuoSo'ti 10 "hesS'ef - ~

designs Of art, utility, or ornament, Is there spread
out Tor the examination and inspection OF thousands
of yisiters who at learn the purpose, quality
and fitness Of the respective articles, by whom man

Our exhibitions therefore, operate benehclally in
a twofod point.of vie~; hrst, by enabling the manu-
faeturer or mechanic widely 10 extend the notice
and knowledge of the superiority OF his productions
and, secondly, by affording 10 the public an opPor
tuniiy Of becoming acquainted with new Inventions
improved processes in manufacturing and useful OF
beautiful articles of economy, convenience, OF uxu
ry which, perhaps they had never before seen, and
OF which they had liule no previous knowledge.
The manufacturers and mechsncs Of our country
and their agents are, therefore, invited to deposits
specimens from the loom, the factory, the work
shop, and the laboratory; whatever is excellent, i'm
proved, or creditabe in the vast field Of American
enterprise and ingenuity will be gladly received ant
conspicuously displayed. The exhibition rooms
have been materially altered and improved, as u
afford greater faeues and accommodations thar
have been heretofore enjoyed for the proper ar
rangement Of the vast mass and variety of articles
usually exhibited. ...--...
The interest Of the exhibition has been always
much increased by the display Of working machine
ry; and those who have machines or models which
they wish to exhibit in practical operation are in
yited to send them. Steam power for the purpos'
of working them will be provided in the lower sa
loon.
Annexed will be found the regulations for govern
ing this exhibition.
