We could have wished Ia have an exhibition OF plate
glass such as used in windows and of crown glass of
superior quality. We do not think the samples Of
American production in the Palace fairly represent the
condition of the art tOr although We are stu
dependent Tor most of our plate and superior "indD"

mems such not yet shown IN the American depart

glass shades of tall dimensions and Otwladow glass made

show Of crown glass In the Austrian and German de-
parment is a collection OF what is termed Bohemian
glass which differs essentially from the foregoing and
the notice of which defer to some time until the col

beauty Of the whole and give il an additional charm IN
the eyes of many Might florists be tempted To
exhibit Or if not might not the managers procure
flowers and shrubs In some other way range OF
flowers, with a small fountain, in each nave, would IN
