THE EXPOSITION.

At tho last meeting Of tho Directors OF the
Forthcoming Exposition in this city. tho roports
wore stated to bo very promising. Tho samo
reports Woro made,. however, in tho meetings
preliminary to tho Exposition of last fall, and
yet 1t was by no means great nrtistfo SUCCESS.
It is easy enough at any timo to fill tho Exposi-
t'on building with goods and waros from this
city oapocially whom the exhibitors have tho priv
ilege OF ealo and the advantage OF groat crowd
to Induce thom to exhibit. But this doee not
answer tho purposes Of an Exposition or fulfill
tho public want Tho Exposition al,ould ropre-
sent progress In oil branches Of art and scIeucc.
and tho proper Inducements should bo offorol to
attract articles for exhibition from places outstdo
OF Chicago. There should be other attractions
besides tho goods to mako the place ono

year, which was dsgracoful one, has evidently

like manner tho general failure OF Inst year
