THE RAIN.
Bad weather and delay appear to be
synonymous. and exhibitors who have

UNFAIR COMPETITION.
Some canvassers, representing Rich
nond firms that will have no displays in
he Exposition, have been soliciting for
several days orders for provisions and re-
to be delivered inside the
rounds during the Exposition. 1t is
needless to say that all kinds of refresh
nents and provisions can be obtained IN
he grounds of parties who have paid
nigh prices for the privilege, and who
deserve primarily to be patronized. 1t
,hould be stated, furthermore, that as
III these privileges are leased that out
ide parties will not be allowed to bring
heir goods IN.
