CENTENNIALITIES.
The gold and silver embroidery from
Circassia in the Russian exhibit is greatly
admired.
American leather has attracted great
attention from foreign visitors, and the ex.
hibit is said to equal any display made by
foreign exhibitors.
In the Switzerland exhibit there is a

Col. Clay, Chief of the Centennial
Police, says that 81 600 will cover the
value of the goods thus far stolen. More

There was a celebration of the Cen.

celebration at Virgil had probably nc
counterpart in the Union, and it is no,
likely that it will ever be repeated.
Meanwhile that location can scarcely fail
