Cincinnati haH at lenHt ono feature to gyo It
prominence among NIL tue cities OF the country,
-ita great Industrial Exposition. This annual
Exposition, TO think, Is an honor aud an adver-
tisomeut coveted all over the country. Among
those who havo most jcnlously contcnded for
tue prizes OF this show ars tho manufacturers Of
agricultural implements. Last yenr The Cham
rion people Of Springfield, Ohio, wore djHsats-
f1ed with the awards, claiming that they should
DO mads only after fair practical tests al around,
In the presence Of competent judges, and not on
tho Judgment OF men who might have chance
to see them only In r Htate of rest in 4 building.
In view Of theae representations, tho Exposition
authoritios decided to have the practical tests,
this year, in harvest time. ths judgoB, however,
