is the general understanding that il
will be number of days before it will
present its best appearance), the at.
tendance was about six thousand
double what it was at the correspond
ing period last year. Considerable
machinery is in operation to-day, but
a satisfactory visit TO the power room
cannot be made before next Monday
or Tuesday. AS arrangements become
complete the superiority of the dis
play becomes more and more appa-

snd in drugs and chemicals. Manu-
facturers appear to have made unu-
susl preparations. Three exhibitors
in this Experimentation Philadelphia
and one from st. Louis make splendid
exhibitions. The carriage depart
ment is full to depletion, and the ag.
rjeultural hall 50 crowded that a roof
will be erected over the alley south of
the building, and this space be used
to release the pressure in this depart
ment. Among the displays in soaps,
