they are put together in order to catch the fast
mail. This was especially the case during the
Cincinnati riot, when errors by the score erept

their exhibits. The leading manuiao ories
of Wilmington, car shops and ship build

will be represented specially.
Commissioner DAbney wishes, how
ever, thst special stress be laid upon the
fact that Delaware is expected, rs other
states, to make an exhibit of its general
agricultural and Industrial products as q
state, outside of the special exhibits Of
any particular company or firm. The
appropriation OF $1,000 is for that pur.
pose. He goes to Trenton to morrow to
