the fortunes of neither increased as they

another suitor appearing the engagement

the world saddened with his disappoint-
ment, and the new lover led the pretty
lassie to the hymenial altar. This was
forty years ago. The first love had been
forgotten. 1t was regarded through the
long vista of the past as but the caprice of
youth. The sturdy country youth who

THE EXHIBITION.
A MILLION and Half Surplus Probas
Bile. r IG#
[From the N. Y. Herald.1

fFrom the N. Y. Herald s
The great Exhibition Is drawing to close
and the people-especially those who own
Centennial sIock-are naturally beginning
| to ask, in the language of Mr.. Sankey's
popular hymn, "What will the harvest be!'
If 1t Is true, as has been stated, that the first
World's Fair In London in 1851 can boast of
being the only one that has ever made q
pecuniary return, 1t is probable that our
cousins across the water will not long b
able to claim the distinction of conducting
the only paying International exhibition. It
has been only the most sanguine class Of
Centennial stockholders who have expected
return OF any of the money they have in
vested. 1t has been generally thought that
the good results OF the Exhibition would
consist OF lis benefit to the industries, and
culture of the country in much higher and
broader sense than the mere immediate
pscuniary profit of those who contributed to
tDaugurate IT., and that the stockholders'
reward would be the consciousness of having
done good and and patriotic action. But
from q conversation recently with Mr.. John
Welsh, the accomplished gentleman who
has managed the pecuniary affairs Of the
Exhibition since its first inception, 40 Presi-
dent of the Board of Finance, have drawn
the conclusion that after the Exhibition is
closed, the goods removed, the grounds
cleared up and all terminal expenses paid
there will be a surplus of about one and
half million dollars.
The amount of paid up stock ia about
S2,250, 900, and with surplus of 81, ,500, 900
at the end OF the fair, dividend of over
sixty-fye per cent. can be paid.
The closeness of the estimates Of the
Board of Finance has been remarkable.
When the appropriation was asked from
Congress last December, the gentlemen of
the Board had the difficult task of calculat-
log how much money was necessary to carry
them up to the 1OIh of May, the opening
day. A million and half was asked for,
and after the buildings were completed, the
grounds laid out and the bills rendered and
paid, it is credit to the foresight of Mr..
Welsh and his colleagues that, with no pre-
cedent to guide them or previous experience
their estimate proved to be within . thous-
and or two Of the sum asked for.
