different subcommittee will report the

derful. Among the different machines to

machine of its kind ever manufactured
A DISPLAY OF LIGHTS.

IMITATION OF A BORDER.
An imitation of q stage light border will
also be shown with stage light regulator,
demonstrating how the brilliancy of electric
lights can be decreased and increased. An
exhibition of lamp coil will also be made In

There is q great possibility that the nat
ural gas display, which was to be the prin-
cipal feature in the mechanical exhibition,
will not come of according to the pro-
gramme of the committee. The latter have
Misunderstanding with the Philadelphia
Company. The officials of the COM
pany say they want to make
the exhibit success, but are
not voluntarily doing anything about the
free use of their gas. One of the officials of
the company when seen by DISPATCH
reporter, yesterday, said:
81 do not know anything about the
proposed display. The committee has not
been to see me about the matter and do
not know what they intend to 90. was
always opposed to that kind of display, as
1 think it is considerable of nuisance"
The street department turned lot of men
loose yesterday afternoon on Duquesne way.
With a liberal use of large hose they soon
had the street looking as clean as q celluloid
collar All the side streets leading to the
Exposition building will also undergo the
cleaning operation.
The work of decorating the building was
begun yesterday by Roenigk Bros. A
scheme ison foot to have the building thrown
open to the public on Saturday next, after
the departure of the Pan-Americans.
