At the same time there is a great air of general untidiue^ con- nected with the Holland Honse show that is not observable at the Temple. The exhibitors' packing crates, ham- pers, paper and general paraphernalia are littered about in all directions, often just outside the tent openings, and they certainly do not add to the appearance of a large and important exhibition. So far as the exhibits are concerned they were perfection itself, not only in intrinsic value of individu- al specimens, but in the excellent way they were got up, either on the stages in the center or at the sides of the tents, or on the flat.
