A myriad of little lamps of different colors were provided, and produced a pretty effect. On tables on either side of the hall were arranged the exhibits, all of which showed excellent worKnit/iiship. Sections were devoted to the demonstration of plumbing (jointing pipes and gutter work), dressmaking (a good show, principally from the country classes), and of woodwork. The latter comprised a large number and variety Gf very neat articles, which were examined with a great deal of interest. There were a model roof, modci stairs, picture frames, chests of drawers and a few specimens of chip taiving. An electrical plant was snown, and occasioned a.great deal of comment.
