 The feature of the exposition for the exhibitors was the supper given last night at the Tontine hotel by the Busi- ness Mems association in appreciatton of the efforts made by the exhibitors to make the affair success.
 Every exhibitor at the armory way represented and good cheer reigned su- prene. The exhibitors left the ar1nory about 1o:45, but despite the lateness of the hour and the amount of work dur ing the afternoon and evening, it prov- ed to be a welcome diverstoi
 The officers of the association and the chairmen of the various committees took occasion to compliment the exhib- itors on the excellence of their dis plays.
 Each exhibitor was called on to give his opinion of the exposition and itsl value as an advertising medium.
