EXHIBITS LARGE AND SMALL.
Wide Range of Interest For Visitors to the
Exposition Implement, Vehicle
and Furniture Building.


Philadelphia, Oct 24.-The Eapla-
made of the National Export exposition
is gay. The exposition exhibits In the
Main building are varied and interest
Ing. The surroundings of the EXPOSE
ton buildings are artistic and attract
i've, but nowhere in this great display
OF Industrial arts and manufacturing
results is there a more entertaining
and important exhibition of the useful
and the novel than that to be found
in the building devoted to farming I'M
PIGMENTS, vehicles and furniture. Gen
orally described, the things to be seen
here are wagons and carts, carriages,
coaches and buggies, automobiles, car
riage woodwork and hardware, harness
and saddlery, agricultural machinery
and implements, and windmills and
household furniture.
The most recent make of automobiles
and a diversified exhibition generally
OF these horseless vehicles occupies a
very large space and attracts special
attention and wide interest These new
vehicles as displayed at the exposition
are not merely those to be used in
transportation In the cities, but there
are specimens of such contrivances
specially adapted to the use of farmers
and the people of the country gener-
ally.
Evidently, however, from the mag
nif1cent display of carriages, coaches,
carts and wagons, the day of equine
carriers has by no means passed. Some
OF the coaches and buggies to be seen
In the Implement building. when COM
pared with the automobile, seem like
light and trifling things of beauty, but
possess every requirement of strength
and utility. The greatest carriage
makers of the country have done their
best to make this feature of the vehicle
exhibition all that 1t should be as a
display of the finest specimen of work
in their line to be found In the world
The question of better roads being
an absorbing one, in view of the chang
ing character of the vehicles in popular
use, there is a fresh interest given to
the show of road making machinery,
which is made so important feature
of the implement department of the
exposition. Stone crushers nf the most
formidable character and intricate con-
structlon, immense rollers, great and
skillfully contrived scrapers and all
OF the smaller devices of the road
builder are shown in various and we'll
ordered exhibits.
Harness of the most exquisite char
acter light and beautiful, but strong,
for the stable of the millionaire; the
coarser and heavier saddlery of the
farmer, the carter and the truckman
contrast with each other and make
one of the finest shows of harness and
saddlery ever presented in this coun-
try. The application of rubber in
tires and In other useful ways in the
manufacture of vehicles is shown in
more than dozen varied exhibits.
These exhibits include the useful In the
carriage and the cart, and in the appli.
cation. of rubber to a harness of the
race horse and the driving and work
horses.
Not only are farm implements and
farm vehicles to be found here In
great profusion, but furniture for the
farmhouse and its surroundings is dis
played in very attractive way. There
are number of very large displays
showing whole house fully furnished,
every room supplied with the latest
and most useful and most artistic de-
vices These displays are made with
a wealth of detail and disregard of ex-
pense, which has attracted special re-
mark and commentator. From a
great kitchen range to lady's man
icure set nothing small and nothing
intricate or large has been overlooked.
Such is mere glance at this great
and entertaing feature Of the Export
exposition. The Implement building
is conveniently situated, Its surround
ings are attractive, and consequently
the crowds which visit It are always
large and always delighted. Free con-
certs by the Municipal band of Phila-
delphia are given in the Implement
building every afternoon and evening.
