MINING, MANUFACTURES, AND FISHERIES.
A project to hold an international fair at the city of Mexico in 1880 met with much favor from both the federal and state governments, as well as from congress; but after some consideration it was abandoned. Since that time the Mexican republic took a prominent part at the international exhibition of New Orleans in 1884-5, her agricultural and industrial products, as well as her specimens of the fine arts, being awarded due meed of praise, and numerous medals, and other marks of recognition.[1]
