hibition in 1888 having been attended
by ove 100000 people and yielding

which originated as far back as 1897,
however, is far more comprehensive
than it's predecessor. It is designed to
carry on an exhibition Of the manu-
features, products, Industries and ma
terial Of all nations and Of
the machinery and appliances relating
thereto and Of articles illustrative Of
science and art, including ethnology

space allotted to them in the main
building.
