AS the time for the close of the EXPOSE
ton draws near, the number of visitors in
creases. People seem to be in haste, and
rush here and there as if fearful that they

| shall miss my pleasant and familiar
sights after the 10th Of November. The
mammoth grapevine man will no longer
stand under the shadow of his huge vine.
and dispense souvenirs to a gaping crowd.
The corn-husker man will sell no more
lron-clad gloves to graogers. Peck, of the
Practical Farmer, will no longer demonstrate,
as L have often seen him do, to surprised
and delighted fruit-growers, that, with his
West Chester Pruning Shears, an iEstru-
ment for pruning orchards, grape-viDes,
etc. which is but ten inches long and
weighs only a pound, he can, with one
hand easily cut off dry hickory limb an

men will not hold back the crowd pressing
for admission to the New England kitchen;
a rush of eager men and women will no

show of stuffed animals and birds; nor will
there be continuous riot of struggling hui
mainly, in the Women's Pavilion, to see a
pat of butter nodded into the perfect like
ness of the human face divi ne.

have speciality for doing one kind of work;
and others for another kind; some work
