THE BABES.
Close Of the Infantile Exposition-.-A
Financial Failure.
The Prize. Children-.. Wrath Of Those
Who Drew Blanks.
How It Was that the Show Vas Not Bet
ter Patronized.

mothers who brought their babies to the Exposition
show, have gone home tired and disgustcd with
rancor in their hearts ut the judges who were se
unkfnd to award prizes to any babies save thcil
| own. The exhibition Of little ones closed laa
evening. Unfortunately for the charitable institu
tipue Interested the proceeds OF the snow were moi
sufficient to do them any good the net results be-
ing on the wrong side Of the ledger which the Ex'
position managers will stand, One reason for thil
may be found In the fact that the Poultry Assoca'
ton last winter swindled The public by not making
the least preparation for for the little ones
left tho mothers to struggle in the crowd whicd
came, and then awarded tho prizes TO whomsocye,
suited them best This disgustcd the public with
such exhibitions, and they were even afraid to
trust the promises Of the Exposition people. An.
other for the improbable results Of the enter
prise may be found in tue fact that
TIE PRIZES WERE THO LIBERAL,-
