CENTRAL CANADA EXHIBITION ASSOCIATION. 



The first annual exhibition held at Ottawa under the auspices of 

 the above-named association opened upon Monday, 24th Septenber, 

 and closed Saturday, 29th idem. It was on the whole a most decided 

 success, although in some lines the exhibits were fewer than had been 

 anticipated. The Natural History exhibits were disjilayed in the Art 

 Gallery, and attracted much attention. It was satisfactory to notice 

 that with one exception the whole of this exhibit was sent in by mem-

 of some importance that we should make a good exhibit, not only to 

 show that the club was actively and successfully pushing on the inves-

 sympathy with an institution which must have a most beneficial effect 

 upon the prosperity and advancement of the city of Ottawa and the 

 surrounding district. Amongst the exhibits which attracted special 

 attention wei*e a most extensive and valuable collection of the economic 

 minerals and ores of Canada, exhibited by Mr. B. T. A. Bell, the editor 

 of the Canadian Mining Eeview, 



In Sec. 1 the first prize for a collection of native stuft'ed birds was 

 taken by Mr. Edwards. His well mounted and naturally set-up s|:eci 

 mens were an attractive featui'C of the exhibition. 



Mr. George R. White took second prize with a large collection of 

 beautiful unmounted skins, well prepared and nicely arranged. 



Mr. Edwards's exhibit of stufied fish was the only one sent in.
