Amcrlcan Institue Exhibition.
The 47th Annual Exhibition is now being
held in the immense building, covering the
ground between 2d and 8d Avenues, 83d
and 64th Streets, New York. The display
is conceded to be the finest ever seen in the
city. the collection being most interesting,
which includes the notable inventions of the
day. Music is furnished afternoon and
evening by Downing‘s celebrated 0th Regi-
ment Band; also by Jnrdine's Mammoth
Organ. The New York Elevated Railroad
runs to the door. which is a great improve-
ment on the tedious ride by horse car. In
a day or two the buildings will be lighted
by the Electric Light, instead of Gas. For
instruction and amusement. visit the Amer-

committee which consists of Messrs. John
B. Eldredge. Rev. William Thompson, D.

quarter six men have henn employed as
Bible distributors. two of them permanently.
Three of thin wore theological students
who hid become enlisted in evangelining
the work during- the labors of Mr. Moody in
New Haven,snd have now returned to their
studies. Fourteen towns have been can-
vnlaed, embracing 0,511 families of which.
4,781 are Americans and 1.680 are composed
of foreigners. Protestant families found
without the Bible numbered 119, of which
only five have refused to take it. Of 970
Roman Catholic families 892 bed some copy
of the scriptures, most of them like “Donny, or
Catholic version. and ”purchased the Bible.
All but 492 families claimed to be repre-
