is small as compared with the home »bow
ing. Taken altogether it is likely that not
one-tenth part of the goods has been re

leaving the enormous proportion of niue
tenths to be moved, opened and arranged
in the space of 85' days. It simply oauuot
be done, and we all feel that It
may dislike to
admit the situation. In walking through
the grouuds yesterday I found this to be
the impression of persons likely to have
trustworthy opinions on the subject
—those employed about the buildings
and in the reception of goods. The orig
nal regulations as seut to foreign and a<
mestio exhibitors declared that
would be admitted after March 81st, when
all space not ooonpied would revert to the
Director-General for re-assignment. This
is quite a dead letter, but it shows what

the appointed time.
It Is difficult to understand the back
wardness of the American exhibitors.
The fear at the outset was that the build
ings might not be ready in season ; it
never imagined that they would stand fin
ished and waiting for weeks, with
redable effort to fill
elay doubtless oomes from the ingrai
peculiarity of our people to put off every
thing td the last minute, but may It not be
feared that there is a deeper
this, growing oat of the businees depres
sion and scarcity of money? It seems
probable that some Intended exhibitors
reel that they cannot afford the outlay
necessary for such a show of their wares
as they would like to make. However this
may be, it is evident either that the date
of opening must be postponed, or that the
beginning will not be aa complété as at
first designed. What is best
will say to go ahead anyhow, and trust to
fortune, remembering how general the
notification of the 10th of May baa been.
Bnt others who know the importance of a
good beginnlg—a point illustrated at Vienna
especially—advise that we get the show
ghly in order before we open it.
Philadelphia Methodist Conference
was in session all the week and attracted
the usual amount of attention. The great
church question—the Presiding Elderships
—was largely discussed and ground seems
at last broken in that important matter. A
resolution was passed desiring the Oeneral
Conference to make the Presiding Elder
elective office instead of
pointment by the Bishop, and if this
sure can be oarried much of the present
