pcdImcat.
The exhibits for this department have nearly
all arrived There has been some hardness III
forwarding those from California "a also those
from Indiana. In fact. these two States seem TO
bc about the only ones in the list OF slugsar's
and the fault does not appear TO lie with III"
State arthoritics, as they have done all that
could he done to hurry forward the material 10
he placed on exhibition. The delay in tho ar
rival from California is said TO be due 10 4
blockade on the railroads. In the case Of ind!iha
the fanlt is understood TO rest with the con-
tractor who was charged with the task oil trans
portation and the arranging Of the pavilion.
The Dc signs for both States are said - De 'A-
