expects to see oriental display, gaudy colo

for which the Yankee nation Of the East is rapidly
coming to he proverbal, the substantial is con-
spcuous IN her exhibits. The cases, which are neat
and plain. are filed with articles of the most ex-
Gulsite and costly workmanship. The amount OF
labor, patience, and skill of thepeople who fashioned
these wonderful efforts of ingenuity VIII
strike every beholder. Tho fine displays
of porcelain and the larquered work stand out
prominently. China. bronzeS, Japan ware, ana
