building are equal to three or four times
its capacity for the purpose of exhibiting
industrial products. The entire buildings

and other departments of the institution.
This workhouse was recently built by the
city at cost of nearly half million

of the kind in the country. Throughout

to. Besides it is kept in the cieanliest,
neatest possible condition. Having shown
