meltS. Last evening another meeting
was held in the room OF the Delaware
Institute of Mechanic Arts, to make fur
ther arrangements for the holding of an
industrial Exhibition in this city during
the present winter.
The Committee on Location stated
that Mr.. Merrick had declined to allow
his Bazaar to be used as the place for
holding the Exhibition, and that Insti-
tute Hall was the next eligible, though
no heavy machinery could be used there.
The committee was instructed to Sc
cure the hall for the proper length of
time, commencing on December 1st. 1t
would be secured for an earlier period
but for the fact that it is already engaged
for the night of November Goth.

mittee, composed of the chairman of the
Committees on Machinery and Power,
Fine Arts and Relics, Merchandise,
Printing, and Entertainment and Music.

nation in regard 10 space.

oung Ladies' Provident Society, for
space for the purpose of selling refresh
ments. 1t was granted.

Industries reported that most Of the ma
Ichinery used and manufactured in this
city was too large to be exhibited, but
that the manufacturers would exhibit
their light machines, and also show mo-
dels and photographs OF the heavy work:
The meeting then adjourned until
Saturday evening, November Sd, at 7,3O
o'clock.
