140 THF. BOY TRAVELLERS. VlilM" iii03I SrilUGA DAI IX T'JKIO. the latter on tlie backs of tlieir nui'ses. where they liang patiently on. and seem to enj';iy their share of the fun. The CHILL- 5 XUESi:. quantity of tea that the natives consume in one of these afternoon entertainments is something prodigious: but they do not seem to suffer any injurv from what some of ns would consider a wild dissipation. Xot far from where the Doctor and his voting fi'iends were seated was an enclosure where was hehl the First Xational Fair of T'jkio iri l~-77. The enclosure was still stand- ing, and it was the intention of the government to hold a fair there annually, as it fully recoa'nized tlie advantages of tliese exhibitions as educators of the people. The Japanese are not generally well informed as to the products of their own country outside of the provinces where they happen to live. A native can tell Tou what his own district or province prcMiluces. but he is often lamentably ignorant of the resources of other parts of the countrv. It is to break up this ignorance, and also to stimulate improve- ments in the various industries, that these national fairs have been estab- lished. As tlie description of the First Xational Fair at T'jkio may not be un- interesting;', we will copy from a letter to a Xei.v Ytu-k paper, by one of its correspondents who was in Japan at tlie time. After describing the open- incf ceremonies, which were attended by the emperijr and empress, together with manv high dignitaries of the government, lie wrote as follows : •• The buildings are arranged to enclose an octagonal space, and conse- qnentlv a visitor tinds himself at tlie starting-point when he has made the round.-. The affair is in the hands of the gentlemen who controlled the
