ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

The history of the St. Louis Exposi- tion which opens Sept, 5th, and closes Oct, 20, 1894, is without rival in the history of annual State Propositions. Its success for the past ten years, and particularly last year, notwithstanding other attractions notably the Colum- bian Exposition, which Exposition was greater and grander than any ever held in the capitols of Europe-the St. Louis Exposition was filled with eX- hibits. and made money-nearly S25.- GOO; making the history of the St. Louis Exposition unrivalled, and it's future sure for years to come.
 The season of 1894 is already assured. The exhibit made by the State of Mis- souri at the Columbian Exposition was brought intact to the St Louis Exposi- tion for exhibition; and is now being put in place. The exhibit consists of all the Missouri exhibits, and will i'm press every Missonrian, as well as every citizen of the United States. with the resources of the State of Missouri. The Horticultural, Agricultural. Mineral and Forestry exhibits, with that of the System of Popular Education through out the State, and our own Public Schools of St. Louis, will be shown to the best advantage. In the Forestry exhibit will also be seen a collection of woods from the State of Amazon Brazil. kindly donated to the St. Louis Exposition by the Brazilian Comms- sioner. The Art Department will be filled with the very hest pictures; and all other departments will be replete with fine exhibits of every description and variety.
 Sousa's Grand Concert Band will give four concerts daily. Other at- fractions will be added in the way of vocal and instrumental artists of ap- proved merit and reputation.
 Reduced passenger rates. as low as any in the past. have been made by all railroads centering in St Louis.
 In one word. the St. Louis Exposi- tion for 1894 will excel many of it's pre- vious Dispositions. The Worlds Fair has past into history as one of the greatest Fairs ever held, and the man. agement of the St. Louls Exposition in announcing the opening of the Eleventh St. Louis Exposition do so with the confidence merited by it's success in the past ten years. in giving the people of St. Louis and the surrounding country an unsurpassed Annual Exposition.
