In the Section of Textiles the time has been principally occupied in cataloging and mounting new material from the New Orleans Exposition. During the last week, the entire textiles collection has been transferred from the West hall to the N. E. Court, where it is now almost in order. It has been cut down nearly one-half, and is still somewhat crowded in the space allotted to it.
