ternoon l6 900 people had been on were IN
the Halls 1t was a rush and push such

lam was tremendous, SO much 30 that one
could hardly turn out, and numbers were
compelled to remain outside.
1t was glorious day for the Exposition.
OF course this big attendance was princi-
pally due to the day having been fixed
upon for the floral display.

large one.

THE FLORAL DISPLAY YESTERDAY.
In our description of the matchless at
fractions Of the grand floral show we were
yesterday unable to give more than par
tial list of the pieces, but succeeded in Of
fering our readers very complete picture
of the inimitable display made by Mr.
Critchell, to whom the first grand premium
of $3.50 was awarded. The pieces shown by
the Cincinnati Floral Company were many
of them of singular good taste and elegance.
The crowd was, late in the day, so dense
that it made the flower show much less en-
ioyable than it would otherwise
have been to visitors. In fact,
it was absolutely impossible to
give critical examination to the
work or justice in description. The real
Iy most considerable work shown by the
Cincinnati Floral Company was copy of
the suspension Bridge over the Ohio. This
