An adjourned meeting Of the Industrial Exhibition
Company was held yesterday at the office Of the COM
pany, No. 40 Wall street, the President Colonel e.
McMurdy, in the chair. Mr.. Joseph #Deefer, Vice
President, and James Turner, Treasurer, were pre-
sent, together with Messrs. John II. Mar
tlngade, John H. Russell, Philo Shelton, F. A.
Alberger, ]. ]. Todd and others Of the
directors OF the company. These officers were
elected for the ensuing year at meeting held on
the previous evening. The officers and directors
quite reticent to the object Of the adjourned
meeting but nevertheless it was discovered that the
site OF the proposed exhibition was the subject Of

one OF the squares In the central part 0
the city, pedgng himself and his financial friends in
sufficient amounts TO cause that desirable result.

be opened for the exhibition building by the LIST OF

A full description Of the proposed building was
given in the HERALD in advance Of all other papers
some time since but as tho newly elected directory

architects, brief recapituation will not be found
