They have made great efforts to make the exposition a success and have ceded so far as the displays are concerned, but the attendance is frightful. I do not think it exceeds 6,000 people a day, except during Mardi Gras. which, of course, attracted large 'Ard the displays all completed?" "No, the mineral display of Mexico will not be finished until Marob and Art hall will not be opened until about the same time.
