New ORLEANS, Jan. 2, 1884.
The attendance for the past few day.
at the Exposition has been very small
owing partially to the bad weathe
which still continues, and more to tn,
street car drivers strike in the city stop
ping all lines for three days, and as it i:
considerable distance from the mai1
thoroughfares but few muster courage
to take the chances of wet feet and the
probability of being caught in a rain, to
60 to the grounds. But it seems salts.
factory arrangements have been made
between car-drivers and the car com.
pany, as cars were running this evening
again as usual, and we hope they may
continue. The lull in attendance seems
to give exhibitors better
chance to complete arrangement
of exhibits. The states and territories
are not geographically arranged in the
Exhibit Building as it seems they should
have been. Wyoming exhibit is in the
northeastern part Of the building where
it seems New York should have been
had we the alloting Of each respective
state space. People in the east no doubt
imagine that Wyoming is rather an in
significant sort of territory, but IN
hour spent in the space assigned this
territory among the Territorial Exhibits
would convince the most skeptical of
its undeveloped wealth and resources.
The territory is making display that
will challenge the older and weather.
states. Mr.. Homer Merrell, the COM

of putting the territory to the front.

making splendid collection
and executed as can only be done by the
