only during the fair but for several
months previous to the opening and
after the closing. A government post
office inspector is now on the grounds

lieved that the number of exhibitors
will be between $50, 600 and 175, O00 To
these mail will be delivered hourly.
Mails, sorted on the mail cars, will be
dropped at the grounds from incoming

richly embroidered about the bottom in
silk. and the two jackets OF white cloth
are elaborate. These are sleeveless,
but fine pair of embroidered sleeves
makes a separate part Of the dress.
