occasion.
Music has been abundantly represented at the
| Exposition during tine last week, but like much
else shown AT tile White City" it has revealed
the Shortcomings due TO incomplctencss. The
exhibit itself has been complete enough. but the
enjoyment II otherwise would have afforded has
lcen lcssencd BY the unfinished condition of the
room in which it was offered. Festival Hall has
not been opened as vet, and Music Hall is far from
complete \ few days will doubtless bring the
latter room into shape with seats and furnish

to pronounce final JUDGMENT upon its worth as

in the hall that is most serious fault. every

| In the Manufactures Building Great Britain
is in most .prcsrntable shape; This is accounted
for in part by the fact that she built elaborate

doing. As in the American section. each exhibitor

the American, the British exhibitor constructed
his pavilion or booth at home, and il came alonr
