Every feature of the expo sition has won admiration of the entire community, an admiration that has been proven by the fact that ev cry afternoon and evening the tent has been crowded to the Init with throngs which were composed only of those who were seeing the show for the first time, but also of those
 
 features of the exposition again and to endorse, night after night, the worth of the event by their attend ance.
