Tlie confetti which it is suggested' should lie the closing feature of the Exhibition should prove a unique and mirthful function. These carnivals are regularly held in the streets of I'aris and other large Continental cities at certain holiday seasons, when people, masked and weaving fancy costumes, parade the streets showerug all and sundry with confetti and throwing strings of colored paper which wind themselves about the person like lassos. Confetti carnivals, combined with other amusements, have been introduced with much success into a large number 'of towns in the United States by an American company which is offering to conduct the function at the Exhibition.
