 As one approaches the armory its gala-day appearance attracts the eye by the effective arranging of many choice evergreens banked along the armory wall. This is part of the Elm City Nursery Co.'S exhibit. Their dis play also includes the arranging of other beautiful evergreens along the corridor leding into the main hall changing the otherwise bare appear ance into a refreshingly effective scene. This company's principal ex- hibit, however, is inside where they oc- cupy booths on both sides, united by an arch over the entrance. These are tastefully arranged and done in pure white and laurel roping, and here you have chance to see what a wonder full rose the new baby crimson rambler Is, for a whole bed of the little fel- lows only few inches high are in full bloom. Holland bulbs and hardy roses, together with many attractive ever greens for fall and winter use, in pots and boxes are arranged in such a way as to make this a most effective dis play, and one of the features of the show. There is picturesque and dec- orative element to this exhibit that gives it marked individuality.
 A novel and interesting exhibit is that of the Genesee Pure Food compa- ny of Le Roy, N. r., which is denaon strating the various desserts and jel- lies made from jell-o. A part of this exhibit consists of a transparent globe of jell-o filled with water in which two gold fish swim. The effect is a very pretty one.
 The Howe& Stetson Go. have an ex- hibit of ladies' dress goods and cloaks that will be a genuine delight to all feminine visitors, and which they should take care not to miss. Mir. l.. P. Dutch, who has charge of the dis play, has grouped as choice a selection of dress goods as could be gathered in the space allotted. One beautiful ex- ample of exquisite shirt waist making is a beautiful crepe de chine waist in the new autumn corn shade Another waist of beauty is one made from what is known as handkerchief linen, and was made entirely by hand by, nuns in a French convent. Noticeable among the fancy skirts is beautiful crea- tion of spangled net over canary col ored silk, with bodice of bolero effect. In the coat line is 8 handsome empire style, champagne colored, with sailor color having panne velvet insertion, and three ruffied cape shoulders. The vest effect is of real Irish lace.
 The New England Dairy company's booth in charge of Minnie B. Ennis is exhibiting an entirely new thing in the potato line. These chips are put up in air tight sealed packages to keep them crispand fresh. In recent experiment chips that had been put up in packages for month were found to be entirely fresh upon opening.
