the exhibitors began to arrive at the hall and t
put their articles in place, and all day ana las
evening the hall presented busy scene. Ih'

arranged with cut flowers of almost every shade
and color. while the floor of the hall is covered
with tables laden with fruit and flowers. The

very fine. Among the pears the variety know
as ''Clapp's Favorite" is the best represented
The floral display is very fine, J. B. Brown, D.
