Evidently longer notice mast be given and more direct personal effort be made, if these shows are to be continued and made a success. If a room could be secured on the business street where the oorn exhibits could be displayed as nooumukted for several weeks in advance, it would greatly stimulate the interest iu that feature of the show.
