THE PHILADELPHIA FAIR.

YORK police are cruel and powerful enough 10
prevent the inhabitants Of tho city from having
their glass OF wine or beer on Sunday, some
compensation should be given to the Ill used
people. l will therefore let them have some
reading about wines, spirits, and beer. 1t Is gen.
orally believed that the next best thing to the
enjoyment OF the company OF a beloved woman
is to look at her portrait, or to hear some lady
talk OF her. The same theory ought to hold
good In the case Of q favorite beverage, and
there is certainly a great deal to be seen and to
be said Of the immense collection OF into1icat-
ing and invigoratinR exhibits at philadelphia.
The place Of honor In this department belongs
to France, OF course, as the greatest wine pro-
ducing country. The circumstances under
which the Centennial Exhibition takes place
are such, however, that really rare products of
the vineyards OF the old world cannot be con-
veniently exhibited. To begin with, many Of
them do not stand a long journey; while others,
still larger number, do not bear a protracted
exposure to the high temperature Of mid
summer Philadelphia air. Tho nrst con-
sequence OF this is that . number Of the Dor
deaux wine growers are compelled to exhibit
on their stands empty bottles, with the labels on
them, indicative OF the wines with which they
should be nlled. and which are kept in some
cooler place than the Exhibition building
until the day arrives for experts to taste them.
Had the arrangement been such a. to enable the
public to give these wines a trial, fresh series
OF bottles would have daily nJled the stands,
and the exhibitors would not mind having few
bottles, slightly deteriorated, when chance is
given to cover this loss. But as such oppor-
tunity Is offered, they seem to be reluctant to
sustain any further risk than the one they have
already incurred land which many OF them

reputation In THIS country do not appear among
the exhibitors. They have tn cir agents In al
most every city and do not care to expose
themselves to the composition OF new and ris-
ing nrms. Among the cognac exhibitors, for in-
stance you ma only otard Dupuys known
name but you do not mud either Marte or Hem
messy. In the champagne line Jules Mumm,
Moet Chandon, We. Cliauot, Pommery ct
Grono' Bouche dis, are all absent. But
the number OF new aspirants for admission to
the American market Is simply amazing, and II
many OF them are mere spectators. there are
many others VINO are true representatives OF
the wine-erowing interests oil France and who
are destined some day TO drive out OF THIS
market the German and Hebrew firms like
X
whose only merit consists in selling wild stun at
an Immense discount. Every low drinking
place throughout the Union becomes thus q
branch ONCE OF those firms, and rem
ders competition on tho part Of more
conscientious producers very dihcult. The
Philadelphia Exhibition will, let US hope, con-
tribute to the improvement OF this state OF
affairs.
OF the numerous champagne firms competing
at Philadelphia, those Of Due de Monticello, De
Montigny Ninvas seem to be the most likely
TO become popular here and 1t Is to them that
