sets, the exact place to be decided later
Groote Wmkel, the big bazaar which
opens at Montpelier city hall on April 2S,
is big enterprise. The various houses
and the big Windmill in the center, com
prising the village, though made to knock
down and pack into crates in the most
compact manner, require lsrge-sized
car for their transportation from place
to place, and when one sees il set up
and filling large hall, he marvels that
even with the utmost ingenuity, it could
be crowded into even the largest freight
car. The windmill, with its electric mo-
tor for revolving the arms and its over
700 electric lamps, uses up a considerable
quantity of electricity and thousands Of
, feet of wire are employed in the cleo
trical work. II viii take force of six
men eight or nine hours to set up this
structure alone. Each one Of the houses
arranged around the sides Of the hall is
deliberately decorated with electricity
and some very ingenious and peculiar
methods are employed in obtaining
stained glass window effects and such
things as that. Altogether Groote Wink
e is well worth viSt for the mechan-
zeal and electrical view, entirely aside
from its beauty and novelty, and the in
terest which it will create among the
public generally.-ady.
