Some Of the Things to be
Seen There.
COLLECTIONS ON EXHIBITION.

Many Private Houses Will Contribute
Curious Articles Gathered from
Everywhere.
The preliminary arrangements for the
Chrysanthemum Fair which opens st
Simpsons Tabernacle, Hope street, on
Tuesday next, are almost concluded
For the past week gang of carpenters
has been hard at work putting up the
framework for nineteen booths, of which
twelve are upon the ground floor and
seven in the gallery. Those on the
lower floor are built Of turned wood
painted white, and as all decorations
must be of floral nature, the usual
fimsy draperv being abolished entirely,
the effect will doubtless be a striking
one. The booths upstairs which have
been set apart for the curio exhibit have
not received SO much attention, owing to
the fact that each one will be profusely
decorated with the colors of the country
it represents, and all the woodwork of
each one will be hidden beneath the
bunting.
1t is intended to arrange the ported
chrysanthemums in the body of the hall
in such manner as not to interfere with
the circulation of the visitors, and with
this end in view there will be aisles at
frequent intervals between the rows of
r1a- ka hn ,.1ot 1r,fk
will present the appearance of huge
rious colors, which viii Do divided by
alternate green and white partition lines.
1t is estimated that at least $4,000 cut
flowers will be contained in this design
alone, when completed. A number of
smaller designs will be on exhibition in
various parts of the hall, among them
being large bank of callas, which will
attract attention.
