THE EXHIBITIONS. 



CHICAGO. 



Tlie exhibition of the Chrysanthe- 

 mum Soeicty of America and the llor- 

 tiiniltural Societj' of Chica<?o opeiietl 

 Tuesday at the Art Institute and tlie 

 display! is especially strong in clirys- 

 anthemum blooms. Plants are as freely 

 shown as in the past few years, but the 

 blooms are wonderful. Tlie exhibition 

 presents quite a different a])pearanee 

 fioni its predecessors, beiuf; placed in a 

 large hall, much longer than wide. The 

 smaller vases of blooms are placed on a 

 balcony extending along one side of the 

 hall, and the laraer ones are in an an- 

 nex on the main floor. The general view 

 is rather less impressive than usual, but 

 the individual exhibits are magniliccnt 

 in nearly every ease. The compelitiem 

 in the classes for chrysanthemum blooms 

 was in many eases very sharp, several 

 classes having eight to ten entries.
