opened. This was not due to any flag
ging of interest on the part of the pub
lie, but to the rain that fell for the twen-
ty-four hours preceding, in quantity and
persistency characteristic of winter
storms in this latitude. 1t was the day
announced for doctors and nurses, but
there were none of either profession to
claim any share of either profitloiGoss

seers present strolled around and listen

choicest compositions, accompanied by
the patter of the rain on the roof.
The home products exhibition of next
year, should there be one, will be largely
the gamer by the moisture that kept
people at home yesterday. 1t means for
the coming season more fruit, grains,
beans, nuts, flowers; more money, more
prosperity and consequently more man

charge of exhibits, who are benedicts,
staid and sober, add their protests to
that of the girls, and add further testi-
mony of the efficiency, industry and at
tention to business Of the ladies' In
short if that particular manufacturer"
puts his head out from under cover ne
will find himself in exceedingly bad odor
in the pavilion during the remainder OF
the exhibition.

The announcement that last evening
would be Jonathan club night drew out
quite a good attendance in spite of the
rain which continued to fall. Many OF
