lea al the Paris Exhibition OF 1875 held adjourned

IN the chair The speaking was chiefly confined 10
some halt dozen representatives OF various important
houses IN this city and elsewhere The expcdency Of
continuing the organization known as tho american
Union OF Paris Exhibitors" was discussed at somo
length. BY many u was thought that the recon-
menda,ion contained in the Presidents Message TO
Congress would DO sufficient TO secure q fair repre-
senatlon OF this country One speaker said that tho
Presidents action has done away with the necessity
oi our acting We should urge him 10 press his
Recommendation. He is the now, and II
he fails TO do anything then we can 30 on" Another
gentleman thought that II Congress appointed
mtieo any further action by the union would DO
supernuUus. On the other hand II was urged that II
would be better to continue the organization even IN
oi dcnnitc action by the government tor the
venlence oil many all uiacturers throughout the
country who, while awaiting the action of Congress-
would DO Ia doubt as TO the necessary steps Tor
curing the exhibition o their goods. It was thought
that tho greater number oi exhibitors from this
country would be comparatively small manufacturers
who would need the aid aud information 10 be obtained
from the union.
