crop we did't get. Floral hall is bower
of beauty. The different exhibitors
have made some magnificent displays,
and the variety, of colors and de,
sign is very pleasing. The floral
exhibit proper is elegant. AL

ton. The ear is greeted on every side
by music produced from some of the
superb pianos and organs exhibited by
the various music houses in the state.
The display of school work does credit
to our fine system of schools and their
instructors. Everything appertaining
to the school room is to be found there
in all the perfection due to long
practice and good teachers. Marvin
Il Cammack, proprietors of the
Crescent creamerieS, occupy their
usual corner, and they are eminently
capable of filling it with their palatable
piles of creamery products. The
merchants of the city are all there in all
departments of business. and their dis
plays are very attractive. The depart
ment of ancient curioSties is filled with
curios of all ages. There are three
side shows on the grounds and innum
merable ''fakirs," so that the curious
can see and the unsophistieated can de-
plete his pocketbook to his hearts con-
tent.
