Two Views of the Exhibition The Essex County Aquarium Society of Newark, New Jersey held its second Annual Exhibition for gold and tropical fish fanciers on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from September 13th to 16th inclusive, in the "cast"' Hall of the Newark Public Library. This large section of the library was ideal, the entire roof being one vast sky-light, while the side walls wTere of a light grey tint, affording excellent lighting conditions for the display. The management of the Library added further to the attrac- tiveness of the arrangements by artis- tically decorating the side walls with many colored prints of aquatic animal life, to all of which was added the pleasing appearance of many hand- some palms, furnished jointly by the Newark Museum Association and the Aquarium Society. The exhibit was open to the public a total of twenty-five hours, during which time 1400 visitors passed through the exhibit. Five cups were offered in addition to the usual ribbons. The cup offered for the best gold fish exhibited by a member of the Newark Society was awarded to the Rev. B. Coltarti for young Broad-tails. Their remarkable development and coloring was credited to the fact that they were raised out-of-doors and feed exclusively on Daphnia. C. Breder carried away the cup offered for the best pair of tropical fish exhibited by a member of the Newark Society, with a beautiful pair of two year old Danio rerio. C. Thomas earned the cup offered for the largest variety exhibited by a member of the Newark Society. He entered twenty-one varieties of tropi- cal fish ranging from the beautiful little Guppyi to the more rare mem- bers of the Danio and Barbus families. The cup offered for the largest exhibit staged by a non-member was taken by F. W. Hedden of Jersey City. Mr. Hedden exhibited many of the more esteemed members of the gold fish family. The Brooklyn Aquarium Society, Inc., was awarded the cup offered for the society having the largest repre- sentation of its members exhibiting. A number of the individuals who made up this representation were awarded ribbon prizes on their person- al exhibits. Mr. H. A. Van Cott of Bayonne,
