brilliancy, dispelling the dampness of the pre-
vious day and at an carly hour the omnibusscs

scene of busy life and animation. The fountain
was playing and the floral hall looked beaut

crystal drops they fell in the basin below

grotto.
Hundreds fladies were on tho grounds and in
the building examining the various articles with
