THE DISPLAY.
IN speaking Of the display on the grounds
1t must be borne in mind that the exhibit
tors had less than q months notice to pre-
pare tor the exposition, and this may help
to explain why the display in several de-
partments was not what some had expected
1t Is not our purpose, even if such a thing
were possible % attempt to notice every
thing placed on exhibition. We must con
hne ourselves 10 the principal exhibitors that
came under our observation knowing that
We are obliged to overlook many things
worthy OF mention which we must omit for
want Of space In the arrangement of the
articles placed on exhibition excellent taste
aud Judgment were displayed Everything
within the Fine Arts Hall showed off TO the
best possible advantage, and the building
presented q beautiful appearance in It's oreat
space at the main entrance of the building
was occupied by the music stock of John
" Canes; and here we found the CHECKER
ing: Nathushek and Aeolian pianos, the Bur-
dett, Packard and Standard organs, all splen-
did instruments in tone, as we had reason
to know from the sweet strains from them
that reverberated through the building
Canes never does things by halves, and
the display be made at the exposition was
no exception to his general manner of con-
Quoting business.
This portion Of the building was largely
monopolized by Straw and Murphy with a
fine collection OF choice Chromos among
which several Of Prang's suberb ones such as

White Mountains" and others stood out
