THE LOAN exhibition.
TIT ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY
AND LAST EVENING SHOWED
A DECIDED INCREASE.
POPULAR INTEREST IS AROUSED
Detailed Mention of the Exhibits in
a Very Interesting Department of
the Greatest Exhibition Wheel
ing Has Ever Known in All Its
History.

The great loan exhibition in aid of
the City Hospital has by no means
been lost sight of in the multitude of
events centering about the arrival of
Admiral Dewey. Yesterday and last
evening the attendance showed a de-
cided increase over the previous days,
and to-day promises to be a big n in
point of admissions, particularly this
morning, as Admiral Dewey is to call
at eleven o'clock.
Every department was well patron
ICED yesterday and last evening, many
of the visitors being those who had
paid previous visits. In fact, a single
visit is far from satisfactory. The
display is too large, and one must go
again and again to have a proper con-
Ception of it as a whole. 1t must be
remembered that in this display there
Is temporarily accessible a collection
equal to that of many ~pretentious mu-
seums in the large cities, and the OPP
%portunity should not be lost. In Art

that department nave never been
equalled in any city or town between
the Lakes and Cincinnati. Not even
Pittsburg can match it. Mr.. Dewey's
department is worthy of many hours
of study, and his own display, the old
masters shown by Mr.. Stifel, and the
many others should not be missed. The
other departments are of equal worth.

ates a few hundred items of peculiar
