AMONG THE DuDs AND BLOSSOMS.
Great Crowds Enjoy the tut of
the EIpruI ENhfbit.


/ Floral hall was crowded all day yes
terday. This fact is explained by two very
good reasons, the superior attractions there
exhibited and the small amount of floor space
devoted to this department. The main hall
is 80 by 70 feet, and there is an addition in
the form of a tent. The exhibit IL a great
deal larger than it has ever been in former
years, and this accounts for the crowded
condition.
The plants are In better condition than
those usually exhibited at fairs. The superior
arrangements for keeping them fresh make
the display interesting. The floral work is
good and tasty, and some magnificent designs
are ON exhibition, notably a star and crescent.
There is a remarkably fns exhibit OF cacti
ny X. IL. Davy, Omaha, and another by DR..
Roberts, Creighton. In the tent much attcn-
ton is attracted By a beautiful water lily,
placed in the tank through the kindness OF
superintendent Adams of the city parks.
Frey & Frey, Lincoln, have a magnificent
display Of cut flowers, which were delayed
IN transit and consequently arrived too late
awards has taken this fact into consideration
ana given third prize as a consolation to
these unfortunate exhibitors.
