Some exhibits are crowded into too small a space, while -others are given an elaborate setup for the purpose of selling store pro- ducts. The fair is supposed to' be, for exhibitipn, not for advertising. Some midway is all right, as there should be some entertain- ment for the eh:Wren and also all classes of people must be suited but too much can spoil the idea of the fair, and make it more in line with a circus than the exhibition' which itis supposed to be.
