Mr.. Ed. Barrett has just returned from a
visit to the great Exposition now open TO the
world at New Orleans. His report as TO the
condition and appearance of things there is
not Colour de rose; not in accordance with the
fiamboyant, double-page illustrations in the
picture papers. The exhibition is far from
complete yet, and progress made is slow,
compared with that which should be made.
The main building is SO poorly and hastily
constructed that, in rainy weather, the roof
leaks badly and spectators find umbrellas
necessary. The building is without heating
apparatus and during the sharp weather this
month the temperature has been about that OF
a barn. Neither is it, or can be, lighted at
night, as yet; time which would be most
convenient TO those who have few days to
spend and wish to do other sightseeing, to
visit the show. 1t Is a common impression
in the city that the exhibition will close soon
after the middle of March. The biggest
crowds sre looked for during and for short
time after the Mardi Gras season. Itis believed
there will be so small an attendance then
that it will not pay to Iun the enterprise.
\ ith all this there is an immense amount
OF interest aud instruction in the display, and
all that seems to be lacking is average man
agenent. The town has simply bitten of
rather more than it can nasticate. There is
no trouble about accommodations.
