A Grand Exhibit. The Milwaukee
Exposition opens to the public on Thurs
day, September 9th, with the finest ex-
hibition of industrial products and works
of art ever presented to the people of
the Northwest. The opening win be
marked by appropriate ceremonies, and
the attendance on that day promises to
be very large. As a usual thing, Ex-
hibitions of the magnitude of the Mil
waukee enterprise arc not complete the
first day the doors are thrown open, but
by unusual energy on the part of the
management and kindred spirit shown
by exhibitors, the Milwaukee Exposition
will be complete in every detail on Sept
9th; the greater part of the exhibits
being in place much earlier than ever
before.
The interest manifested in the coming
Exhibition is very great throughout the
entire Northwest, and large numbers of
visitors will doubtless visit the Cream
City during September and October.
The Exposition management feel Sc
cure in urging people to visit this Ex-
position and view the many attractions
to be seen within the beautiful building.
which is rapidly filling with grand ex-
hibits. There may be found that which
will instruct as well as entertain; and
the railroads selling excursion tickets,
no better time of the year to visit Mil
waukee could be selected Concerts
will be given three times each day; in
the morning Mr.. j. L. Day will preside
at the Grand Organ, which is pronoun-
ced by all to be the finest instructment
in this country. Every afternoon and
evening Bach's Full Military Band will
render choice programmes, and this,
with the whirl of machinery, the bril-
liant electric lights, and tastefully ar
ranged booths, viewed by throngs of
delighted visitors viii present a scene of
splendor Den'tmiss it. 27wl

There will probably be more classes
in the Lancaster high school this year
than ever before. The reasons cannot
be fully appreciated by those who are
not familiar with the work of the high
school, but may be briefly outlined as
follows: First, the ungraded condition
of the high school. Earnest efforts have
been made to combine and systematic
the classes that existed year ago; but
it has not been possible, as yet, to
greatly reduce the number without con-
siderable Inconvenience to the students.
AT the close of the coming year we hope
TO see the grades in much more salts
factory condition, the fact that there
were no graduates last year, aud, con-
sequcntly, by the promotions from the
grammar department there will be an
additional grade this year. Third, the
improvement in the course of study, by
which several new branches have been
added. The number of classes will in
crease the labor of instruction, but will
prove quite an advantage to those who
wish to enter the school this fall, for
they will be pretty sure to be accomo-
