The following, from the Lynn Recrord
OF December llth, viii no doubt prove uf
lntlrest to the CrispIns Of the west, and
especially yb those Of our own city

The main object Of the meeting was 70 de-
eide upon dIssolving the above organiza-
tion, and adopting IL its stead the constr
tuition and bylaws Of the order Of knights
Of st. Crispin. The interest taken ia the
proposed movement attracted to the hall
a considerable number Of shoemakers who
were not members Of the League, and IT
was soon decided to admit all shoemakers
who wished to take part III the deibera-
tons. At eight clock, the meeting was
called to order, and a motion was made "a
dissolve the shoemakers Protective League

Crlspin. The motion passed by unani-
nous rising vote. AS soon as the result

The Centennial Buildings
To be continued. !

Ole who has recently visited the struct-
ures nov approaching completion in Fair
mount Park, Philadelphia, endeavoring
to convey some idea of their extent, says:
I'VE doubt if full conception Of this
gigantic affair entered a single mind Of
those who we're looking on. We confess
that We were not equal to the occasion.
The proportions Of machinery hall alone
one uf the smallest of the buildings-was
hardly appreciated; because everything
around il 1t was on such grand scale that
it didn't look so large after all. But with
in this building every living soul in Har-
rlsburg, Carlisle aud Mechanicsburg cOu d
be supplied with comfortable seat, and
room for as many more. Every person in
Philadelphia could be accommodated with
standing room IN 1t at Oue aud the same
time, and there would be room enough
left for the people Of another good sized
city. And this building is not nea: as
large as the mammoth building jIst east
Of it, known as the main building" In
this building every living soul III the
great State Of Pennsylvania could be sup
pied with standing room, and leave a

State.
Then person can walk a hundred
miles in machinery hall, without going
over the same spot twice. In the main
building he could walk hundred and fifty
miles, Taking all the buildings, visitor
to the exposition can walk over five hun
dred miles, and not 90 over any one place
twice in the whole distance. So the per-
son who goes to the exposition, expectlny Z
- do the whole thing in one day, will
be wofully disappointed. He couldn't do
it travelling at railroad speed.
1T is believed that over 100, 900 people
will be present at the Exposition, from
Europe alone. Millions Of Americans
will be there next year. 1t is safe to say
nothing unforeseen occurring-that the
Exposition next year will be visited by
600, 600 of people, and probably 10, 900,
600

clearly that he is delivering no gentle
blows, and that his task Is being done with

Oughness. Now rammIng molds is not a
complicated performance, nor does II re-
qulre the ability Of a very skilled artisan,
on the contrary. it is very small portion "
the m llt.tudinous operations which must
be accomplished before the perhaps great
structure, to which the piece of metal IN
the flask belongs, Is completed But In-
significant as this process may be, zeal and
thoroughness are Just as much called for
as in the most delicate manipulations. aud
no mechanic will ever he the loser BY
using his best Efforts ON just such little
things. Fsithfulness in the accomplish

Ity to perform thoroughly fauch greater
ones and the worklngman who proves
himself energetic and honest IN dning the
former will soon find that his talents are
needed in larger operations which vii in
