generations Of dishonor" The noble work
Ithai these institutions have done and are
doing for the intellectual and industrial de
velopment of the Indian and negro is well
illustrated by the exhibit.
Striking and suggestive contrasts are con-
tinually forcing themselves upon the atten-
ton of observant visitors al the fair. For|
example in the Hampton exhibit sits Al
somewhat taciturn but very industrious
Apache, not more than ten weeks from his
native wilds. With ordinary shoemakers
tools, but in a method peculiar TO himself
he puts together pair Of rough shoes in
the course Of two days. Almost directly he
iow, on q raised bench over the spur Of the
Providence Railroad is TO be seen We ancient
cobbler, who consumes the same amount on
time with much the same result. Round
about the latter, and reaching the ears of
the Indian as he bends quietly over his
work, comes the incessant whir and buzz
of the numerous intricate machines Of theI
model shoe factory, where the leather NAV
be cut, dozen processes gone through, andI
finely finished pair Of boots placed upon
the feet, in precisely eight minutes. ThereI
is something pitiable in this contrast. Ill
makes the unciyilized look almost helpless,
and the WAYS and contriyances of the past
almost ludicrous in the light Of the present
The shoemaking exhibit is the largest in|
the fair, and is arranged TO give the visitor

two in the numerous departments of Target
factory. In the latter novice is apt to bel

warns of workmen, while here logical
insight may be obtained into all the process
ses, from the uncut leather 10 the finished
boot. The factory is run full time, does
regular work, and employs large number
of the company's best men. Ii may he of
interest TO note that on one day lately fifty
one cases Of boots were turned out, andI
shipped by order TO Cuba and sixteen diff
ferent states.
To attempt TO make further mention of
particular exhibits would intrude too much
upon your space. Suffice il to say, that theI
opportunities at the New England Manu-
tacturers' and Mechanics Institute Fair, for
obstruction and amusement, for hearing ex-
cellent music, and enjoying ones self in q
general way, are such that no visitor TO
Boston should fail to take advantage Of

hat the fair might be more of a popular
Educator. According to the turnstile count,
nearly 100000 people have already passed
through the gates. The other attractions inI
he city, the grand fair Of the Mechanics
Charitable Association, the Art Museum, the
Natural History Rooms, and the magnificent
churches of the Back Bay--all Of which are
within fifteen minutes of the Institute Fair
render it particularly desirable to be in Bos-
ton at this season. Arrangements have
been made for excursion trains on all the |
principal lines of railway, and those who
avail themselves of the opportunity thus af- |
iorded will not be likely to regret it.
