ing. While the exhibit is far from complete.
it is by no means wanting in interest in its
present condition. The outlook is that there
will be plenty of entries and goods, but

ducts. But as to this is is the fault of the
home producers, and not of the officers who
allot the space to exhibitors. We shall, how.
ever, expect before the end of the week to
