day.

the State Capital Band, and that given

boys and girls were present, and It is
lsafe TO say that what they missed seeing z
! of the many exhibits were not worth
hunting for. The police arrangements,
under the direction OF Detective VIII
liam b Spittall, OF Philadelphia, are
perfect in every respect, and fourteen
police OH cers maintained the very best
order.

and there was not the slightest confu-
sion or disorder.
