ABOUT THE HALL.
An attractive niche in the lower ha
was that occupied by l.. NJ. Longley

a complete bath room, with all desirabl

The oranges did not rise to the occs
sion as we'll this year as at some previou
times, and only two-Paris and Hebro
made exhibits. 1t is really not to b
wondered at that the other near-b
oranges were not represented, for ther
is tremendous amount of work for
few in the elaborate displays usual
made.
Paris Grange occupied its customar
space in the upper hall, and the arrange
ment was in general the same as tina
usually followed. The draperies wer
red and white in pleasing design, an,
one section of the space was filled wit

equal variety. A few antiquities an
curiosities added to the interest of tn
display.
