HOME INDUSTRIES, AS SHOWN AT THE EXPOSITION
WHAT WE MAKE AND MAKE WE'LL, FOR SALE TO
THE WORLD.
While the Exposition is valuable to tradesmen
who are simply Dealers az means OF displaying
their goods, and thus promoting business, its
primary object and greatest advantage must
consist of course, in the exhibition by manu-
Jacttuers of the products of their skill. What
ever We can show to prove that we are good
workmen ought to be shown, for that is what we
want to prove. We desire to establish the
knowledge in all the worlds markets, near and
far. that the handicraft of this city is well worth
purchase, and it is one of the most natural and
effective means of proving this to gather togeth-
or specimens of it in public Fair
With this view, we shall devote some special
attention to those articles shown at the EXPOSE
ton, which are the product of this city--not
manufactured elsewhere and dealt in here, but
made here, for sale to the world. Prominent
amongst these, as shown at the Fair, is the dis
play of
MOROCCO AND LEATHER.
The arrangement Of these near the entrance,
on the right hand, is good, though in limited
space, and the effect is pleasing. Only few of
our manufacturers are represented, and from
the creditable display which they make, tits easy
to see that when all join at the Wilmington Fair
of next year, and at the Centennial, On which
year, we will of course hold no Fair,) they can
I'LL TO the best advantage and with the most ar
tistic effect, an allotment of space at least five
times as great as that which they occupy here.
They should unite to accomplish this, for pro-
per display OF our morocco and leatheris one of
the things of which We may justly be proud, no
other city in the United States having good rea-
to assign us second place in this line of man
ufacture. The exhibitors, here, are Charles
Baird Co., Stephen Postles g. Son. and NAL
triz and Richardson. and G. & ]. Pyle. Charles
Baird X Co. have case .of pebble morocco
finished, and in the rough peccary skin from

70 square feet.
THE IRoN SHIPS AND MACHINERY.
To exhibit fully the work OF the mon ship
yard within space so limited, and on such very
dry land, is simply impossible Of course, but vet
there is much shown by Messrs Pusey, Jones,&
Co., that indicates the value of their work.
They have here placed the wooden models of the
| bulls of dozen of their iron ships including
that OF the first iron sailing vessel that VIII
mington sent out-the Mdhion Bets, built in
l856-and of their latest and most elegant ocean

CARRIAGES.
The display OF carriages is not nearly what i
might be. There are but three exhibitors, VIII,
seem to have contented themselves with a singh
sample each. One other manufacturer appliet

drawn. Had they 80 desired, some of our man
utacturers could have presented dozen differ

Lear Il Kendall, pony pheton with woode
frame; Cooling Bros. q Co., coal box buggy
and John Green, buggy wagon. Gatta Kaise

do, in the display of carriages, if spac
were obtainable, and they were to cordially unit
