To . this end, we will give. a brief outline of the Toronto Exhibition. It would be comparatively brief. no matter bow lengthy, for aatews; paper, nur account might be, it would only be brief, for the departments are so numerous, and the eritries' in each are so great, that only a general notice can be taken, of theni. - On Wednesday last, opening day, the attendance' was. not large, but enough to make a crowd around the speakersew that hearing was difficult on the outskirts. Among the smokers were Sir John A. Macdonald and' Hon. A. U. Reis. The former spoke of the surprising • increase and development of Toronto, and admit- ted its preponderating influence in trade, • manufacturers end commerce,and thought its recognition of the importance of agri. cultural interests bad much to do with the rapid growth, Mr. Ross also said that a eon-mini:tent was paid to the agricultural interests, by the invitation to him to be one of the speakers to take part in the opening ceremonies, and an acknowledge- ment that that interest was the basis and mainstay of our national progress: ° carpenter and blacksmith to ethet of_ the tavern keeper, the " merchant"taiIorand the "mammoth" house keeper has con- tributed its pants or cash or flour, as the case may be. Two selfish motives have probably actuated these gentlernen--pure selfishness having oheap advertising in view and a more worthy selfishness is per evinced in the desire to " keep up the town," To these gentlemen as per- sons looking entirely to their own interests, I have nothing to say. Still, taking the ground that they don't tlegew their own interests, I think 1should say something to the tailors; Teem pardon "merchant" tailors. I never saw the like of the do. nations of pants; pants for fillies, pants for heifers, and most astounding of al1, pants for apples. I look' again. Oh 1 I see, its apples for pants. That is quite dear and reasonable: To a stranger of a 'philosophic mind this apparent philanthro- pic liberality on the part of the "mer- chant" teilora would suggest, appalling possibilities. He might logically pieeurne that a large part ofthe community if pantaloonless, and only awakening to the beauty and necessity of these articles, and he might conclude that the noble rainded tailor is introducing anew a discovery to a kiltic if riot a keltic community. • Another possibility more appalling even than those, anggesta itself to the resident. In the aur - rounding tovriuThips there are rainy welesens who successfully manage large farms, and whe in addition, often cempete successfelly at our fall shows..
