THE DISPLAY.
At tho conclusion of the Address
and in the interval before the com.
mencement Of the days races the
assembly adjourned to the Exposi.
ton Hall to Inspect the articles on
exhibition. The entries were too
numerous for us to make any indi.
vidual notice Of them all or even
any considerable number of them.
We can only speak of q few Of the
displays made for the premiums
offered il the different Depart
ments. Noticeable among these
was the display At Confectionery
&C., made by our enterprising
townsman, Julius Levin, and the
really handsome display of superb
Saddlery and Harness made by Mr..
Pulford Of Opelousas. This gentle.
man turns out work that we have
mover seen cxcellcd, even in New
Orleans, and deserves as he recciv-
ed tho first premium for his sad.
dies and Harness. The Ladies'
Department was SO full of hand
some articles that we can not un-
dertake.to. particularize and must
content ourselves with publishing
q list of the articles which took pre-
miums in this Department.
