The Industrial exhibit at Pohlmann's $,
under the auspices of the Hudson CITY
Business Mems Association, was formally
opened last night by Mayor Hoos. 1t was
estimated that three Thousand people
passed in and out before midnight. The
display is regarded as a credit to the in
dustrial enterprise of the business men OF
the Hudson City section
There are about fifty booths, elaborately
decorated and displaying artistically the
wares of as many business men OF that
section of the city. To attract attention
to the individual exhibits, souvenirs are
given to visitors The rival tea and coffee
merchants are dispensing delicious
draugnts of their beverages Handsome
cards are given by some, trick cards py
others and all sorts of novelties.
The entire floors of the great dining
room and the adjacent pavilion are taken
up with booths Efforts were made TINS
year to avoid the inconvenience OF
souarely built booths in the centre and
none of the blockadesIof last year were
discernible. Prof Henry Walters Or
chestra occupied the music stand, from
which Mayor Hoos, introduced by Fresi-
dent William Kastenhuber, formally open
ed the exhibit. The orchestra Will give
concerts every morning and evening.
Mayor Hoos complimented the associa-
tion and its officers The spirit OF en-
terprise. he declared, shown in the DIS
position of the Hudson City Merchants
and Manufacturers to exhibit their wares
in such a public manner annually was
commendable and would go far towards
dispelling the idea that it was necessary
for residents of the Hudson City section
to go to New York to do their marketing
or purchase any kinds of goods what
ever. The merchants he declared, should
have the hearty support OF all the resi-
dents of that section. The Mayor was
obliged to curtail his speech on account
of the pressure of the crowds that en-
deavored to get within hearing distance
For an hour or more before II was
formally opened the exhibit was IN par
tial darkness. Something was the mat
ter with the electrical appliances which
had been devised especially for the ex-
hibit. The old gas jets had to be brought
again into requisition, but the booths
were all dark. When the flood OF light
was turned on there We're exclamations
of "Ohr' How NIGEL" How pretty
