No. 244.J > 29 



Dual displays. These have been continued for 20 consecutive years, 

 with unremitting zeal, each exhibition excelling its predecessor, from 

 the one first held in a single comparatively small apartment at Masonic 

 Hall, till now, at Castle Garden, one of the largest rooms in the world. 

 From analogy, we have a right to anticipate a more full and imposing 

 display than on any former occasion. We therefore, in full confi- 

 dence, invite our fellow-citizens to come and witness an exhibition 

 of higher interest than has ever been presented before, in the unnum- 

 bered specimens, the evidences of our progress and perfection in in- 

 dustry and inventions, and in all the arts that contribute to our indi- 

 vidual comforts and national prosperity. The scientific and learned, 

 the statesman and philosopher, the farmer, mechanic and artisan, the 

 merchant and professional man, will all find abundant materials for 

 examination, reflection, instruction and admiration, and no one can 

 leave the Garden without increased knowledge, and no American 

 without a heart more than ever glowing with pride and patriotism, 

 that what he has seen, are all the productions of his own native land.
