/, will be seen that Mr. GosmoRN
dwell. very particularly on certain i'm
partaut points either little known or lit
lie thought Of. 1t is that there Is great
necessity for manufacturers to make
application for space at once, since 1t will
not be great while before the commits
sion will be compelled to close the doors
as it were. Tor the purpose of allottlng
space finally. The exhibition of articles
of machinery or anything o: personal
p-,per,v are entirely distinct from that
,r the Stat, at large For the State,
.ps.c h,, already been engaged, andthis
v.I b., devoted to such things aS belong
exclusively to her; specimens OF her
,nI iron, wood, and everything
which tend, to show her resources. But
it j, different with private exhibitors.
They must make special Application, and
then when ,wcn !, allotted them, what
eyer The, desire ,,r,ugo..i, J., marked with
Their classified. and exhibited with
a.,.... article, %, ike nature. II may
readily b. understood then, what labor
and time Dil. bee required, after npplica-
tiou. ARE all in, IN arranging for these
cla,,.tga,,uus and the space to be assign
,d them. And since the time is drawing
on -apid'ywhen the Exposition itself shall
bee opened, it can be readily appreciated
that TO time is to be lost III
making the necessary applications. Il
i, fault of Americans to procrastInate,
bat further procrastinution in this matter
may prove fatal. Our varied industries
Ui WherIln" ana elsewhere u'H"Hu !"
bee shown aud advertised on this occasion.
Mayor SWEENEY has all the proper
blnok, on hand tor making the
applications, and will willingly
furnish ,hru and give all
requisite information to any one
...,ir, Liusrlf of the
time and opportunities yet remaining.
Car State r..aaasr, are specially request
ed to call the attention OF all persons in
tcrc,lri 10 this matter, to the above re-
marks, SO that they may also be able to
avail thcm,y,yy, Of these desirable ad-
vantascs. Any .ommunications address
