tina most varied ever shown in Virginia.
Chesterfield also has magnificent exhibit.
and the matter of most interest Yesterday
was the award to be gwen for the best dis
play of this character.
The award was not made, however, as
two of the judges we're objected to as hav-
ing an interest in one Of the exhibits to be
Judged, and IS others could not be imme-
diately determined on the matter was post
poned.
Hanover county also has ahandsome aeri-
cultural exhibit. and Henrico makes q good
display of its resources.
The visitor who attends the Exhibition
only 10 be amused will find 30 much TO en-
gage his attention that he will hardly find
time to appreciate the many interesting
things contained in the general display.
There are many works of ingenuity. art and
manufacture which are pleasing and At
tractive to the eye and will bear studied In
spection.
SOMETHING TO EAT.
The question of eating is one oflgreat i'm
portance on such occasions. and with the
number of snack lunch, confectionery and
refrashment resorts 1T would seem an easy
matter TO get anything needed; but this de-
ponds. Things are not always what they
seem. True there is q dining-haii. where
with plethoric purse one may get his I'LL.
provided what he needs Is not Just out. A
waiter makes out list of what he gives
him and he takes it 10 a collector. who sizes
up the individuals purse by his exterior ap-
psarance and then takes the contents.
This may be avoided, however by resort
ing to pie stand. the Male Orphan Asy-
hum lunch counter. where excellent dinners
are cheaply given, OF to the stand in the
west end OF the main hall, where Huckins
soups are waiting TO be sampled. This de-
lioious LIQUID. which is made in a dozen or
more varieties, is par excellence the thing
for lunch or family dinner.
They are rich and palatabie and, delcately
seasoned ready for use. Put up in nice tin
cans, it is only necessary to warm them
and there you have the elegant soups which
tsblshed the reputation of the famous
Parker House many years ago when the
elder Huckins, O peerless chef, held sway
there.
The local demand which was then metin the
ordinary way 30 increased that large man
ufactory is now necessary to meet the calls
for this prepared blessing of nourishment.
Mr.. James H. Irwin is the general agent at
the Exposition for Huckins' soup. and
Messrs Writ e. Taylor Il Co. handle their
goods here.
