| SOME SPECIAL EXHIBITS.
If there was any one exhibit that
seemed to attract more attention than
the others in its immediate neighborhood
last night, it was that of Mr. Will r.
Johnson, the jeweler. And what a
gorgeous display it isl 1t is feast for
| the eye, and joy TIC those who admire
richness and brilliancy in jewelry and
diamond ornaments. Such an array of
gold watches was never seen in Rock ISL
and before, to say nothing of the dia-
monds, one ring in particular being val
ued at 800. Johnson's cases seem to
illuminate the entire surroundings with
their brilhancy, and an admiring crowd
stand about the stand all the evening.
Mr.. johnson has consented to allow his
costly exhibit to remain for another
will be able to see it.
Yerbury, the plumber, added another
miniature steam engine to his exhibit
yesterday. 1t was manufactured by Mr..
Thompson. and was also kept running
by steam from the saw works. There is
also complete display of steam and gas
fittings, lubricators, the royal water clos
ct, radiators, hose and piping, and in fact
everything in the plumbing line, from an
engine down to a gas globe The Teurk
water motor, used for running sowing
machines, is also kept in stock.
The beautiful crystal pavilion of j.
Ramser the ieweler, is constantly sur
rounded by an admiring throng, and is
really one of the most attractive displays
on the floor, and no one who appreciates
a beautiful display of jewels will visit
the rink without stopping more than
once at this much admired stand. The |
mechanical clocks are an entertaining |
feature, and the optical department is |
complete aud interesting
Everyone should have their eyes tested
with the unparalleled Kings optometer,
which will tell whether you need glasses
or not, and if so, just what size. The
other features of the display representing
in the jewelry line. are mag
niticent, and should be seen to be appre-
GATED.

Mr.. NJ. r. Iglehart & Co, of the well a
