Every day that the Exhibition at the
Institute Hall remains open 1t gro ws in
favor. Last evening the attendance was
very large, indeed the number present
was so great that it was with difficulty
that progress could be made along the
aisles, and a number of the exhibitors
were happy, remarking that the scene re-
minded them very much OF the centen-
nial.
In order that the children of the public
schools, should have an opportunity to
visit the exhibition the managers made
arrangements for them to visit the hall
during the last three days of this week,
and so that all might enjoy it the admis-
sion tee was placed at cents.
Yesterday was the first of the three
days, and during the afternoon over
eight hundred children were present ,anG
judging from the peals of laughter, and
| the many EXPLANATIONS they must have
the Home for Friendless Children were
also present, and after they had been
shown around the building they were
taken up in the gallery, and treated those
present by singing several songs in a.
very creditable manner, after which they
were treated to candies and pop corn,
through the kindness ofthe managers of
the exhibition. This afternoon the schol-
ars of number of the other schools will
| be present.
Last evening, great many persons af-
ter they had visited the exhibits repaired
