EXPOSITION CONTINUES TO
 ATTRACT BIG ATTENDANCE

In spite of the snow and sleet that made walking and riding extremely dan gerous Thursday evening, there was large attendance at the Norwich Mer- chants and Manufacturers exposition be- ing held at the state armory. The crowd vending their way through the aisles spoke unanimously in commendation of the fine exhibits Of many of tie leading mercantile houses and manufacturing plants of the city.
 The exhibit is by far the best that Nor ! wich has seen in many years and al l though the various booths show 9 wide diversity of goods manufacturer by local | plants, the number Of Norwich plants ex- hibiting their wares is only equal to about one-half the number Of plants opera ting 1 near by. Owing to various reasons near | ly 30 plants of the city were unable to i exhibit just at this time but it is ex-
 pected that at some future exhibit there 1 will be a bigger showing of industrial i products. and that the SO CT more plants will be able to display their wares.
 During the afternoon Thursday. chil-
 dren from the public schools from the fifth grade up attended the exposition
 and thoroughly enjoyed the privilege ex- 1 tended them. Not q few of the young sters were seen taking notes and many questions were asked. During the rush of the children about the building a child's purse and a boys cap were lost
 and were turned over to the Chamber of | Commerce booth to be returned to the i owners.
