nIccnt affair, far exceeding, to my mind,
u! previous exhibitions. AS some of your
readers could not attend IL. permit me
spacc for a few notes Of interest.

y vast crowd, who were greatly interested
IN n complete representation OF carpet

How Ciock-worky everything moved on.
The management knows how to keep an ex-
pOslti ~, task which double discounts
tina, Of Reilly, they speak of SO highly.
The ladies thronged around the exhibit of
tho buckley Manufacturing company, of
Detroit. their chief interest centering in
Rolls cog wheel self-wringing mop. Any
thing that lessons woman's drudgery is a
blessing In the home, and this mop certain
ly does. IL makes scrubbing as easy as
sweeping. Tho exhibitor announced that
state and county rights were for sale.
That science has taught how to produce
and preserve tho cream pure and sweet,
was shown by the Flint Cabinet Creamery
company In their Wilson cabinet creamery
which was greatly admired by everybody.
Their exhibit was the largest and most
interesting in the dairy department.
The live stock show WAS unprecedented.
The stables and sheds, by the way, are the
best of their kind to be found anywhere.
The honey comb foundation exhibited by
J. Van Deusen & Sons. OF Sprout Brook, N.
Y, demonstrated Its merits by the award
of the first prize for honey-combs to that
firm. They deal In all hive requisites.
The most notable exhibit Of agricultural
implements was that of the Gowanda Agri-
cultural Works company, OF Gowanda, N.
Y. Their fine display OF steel plows potato
diggcrs field rollers, etc, and their dog or
sheep power for churning always drew a
large crowd. The experienced end efficient

wering questions and booking orders.
DESERVED SUCCESS
was this years Exposition, and WORK on
tho next one has begun already by tho
announcement of the dates, which WILL
come in the last weeks of August. %. As
'a3. will probably be slipped in honor OF
the Chicago Columbian Worlds Fair, let
everybody make up their minds to attend
the next show at Det-oit-which will be
better than ever, the management says-is
the friendly advice of OMEGA.
