THE EXHIBITS.
Some of the Western railroads make fine
displays and a score of manufacturers from
the Eastern and Middle States have givene
proof of ingenuity and interest in the sue
cess of the Exposition by sending large
supplies from their factories and workshops

pleteness in her mineral, agricultural and
manufacturing resources, and is evidently
taking the greatest pride in the success OF
the Exposition and in the results which it
hopes will follow il. Mexico and the
southern half of the western hemisphere is
well represented. It seems probable that

hibits will be greatly enlarged, and even
the present mammoth buildings will hardly
accommodate all the displays. Yesterday
brought in not only thousands OF sight-seerS,
but numerous car loads OF goods from near
and distant States.
