Exhibition Notes Ignite Interest at Centennial Fair
The sixth week of the exhibition opens with strong attendance as rain fails to deter visitors. The Women's Department under Miss Emma Southwick showcases New England history through antiques and crafts, while the Wisconsin War Eagle Old Abe draws crowds. Juries shift away from field trials toward in-situ machine evaluations. July 4 plans solidify with Independence Square as parade site and a new bell for Independence Mall arriving. Governor Hartranft and Governor Tilden lead divisions.
