One OF the mistakes Of the management-I will not
call It biander, though IL may become one-is 10
charge full price for the admission OF children Fiity
cents is not too much Tor adult but child Of clever
twelve ought to admitted to the Exhibition for
twenty There comparatively few children
the grounds for the obvious reason that
parents cannot afford to take their families 81 the
present prieea Yet the young people have very sim
and patriotic interest In the Centennial, and
would II the reduced, contribute largely to
the This mistake Of having half price for
girls and boys is which should be speedily cor
rected. The summer holidays are drawing near. and
there should be during July and August thousands Of
intelligent school children the grounds daily. The
exclusive policy is not merely unjust, but injurious
TO the Exhibition. Large sales and small pronts' Is
good for tho Exhibition IL proved TO DO
for the Mr. Stewards dry goods store and It Is
be hoped that tho Commissioners will recognize the
truth.

that the exhibitors might be put to little trouble
by the prolongaon OF the hours OF admission but II
Is TO be remembered thcy would derive benefit IRON
the increased attendance Besides this there but
three or four thousand exhibitors and there will be
millions OF visitors, and latter expected 10
