WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN AND IOWA
The next adjoining, or rather next in reg
ular order, Is the structure that is beinl
erected by the commissioners OF the State o
Wisconsin for themselves and their large
and rapidly growing constituency which will
during the next six months visit the great
exhibition. 1t Is neat, two-story building
of the cottage style, with a veranda on its
three sides. Hon. David Atwood, ex-mem-
Der of Congress and United States Centen-
NAL Commissioner, has given the building
his personal attention, and Ike assures all
who may be interested in il that it will be en-
tlrey up To the requirements, and nothing

ARKANSAS AND MISSISSIPPI.
The Arkansas State building is oetagonal
in shape and commands the attention Of all
who chance TO be within a hundred yards
Of it. While being unprctentious in APP
pearance on account Of the absence Of all
Ornamentation, it is 50 large than the visitor
is attracted 10 the efforts made by the state
authorities to make a credtable display
The roof terminates in n dome, and all
around are numerous windows, 50 that there
is no need of light, and the most pleasant
experience of all who enter is the result,
The interior IS plainly but well fitted up
and on exhibition will be placed all the pro-
duets of the State.
The most complete rustic building is
that of Mississippi. 1t is a frame covered
with bark, which makes it resemble Il log
house. From the cOrnices hang masses Of
the long moss which depend from the limbs
of the great trees that are found in the low
lands of the State. To add to the rustic
appearance the steep roof, which is covered
with tin, has been painted gteen,
Not far off is the California State build
ing. 1t Is one story in height, 50xl2j feet,
wi tn a nave and dome. 1t is highly orna-
mental within and without, and is panneled
with the native woods Of the State,
But few steps offs the structure erected
for West Virginia. 1t is two and half
stories in height, constructed entirely Of ma
tive woods, and presents very pleasant APP
pearance. The various minerals will be
tastefully arranged and exhibited.
NEW YORK AND VERMONT.
Probably 10 building attracts so much
attention as the one erected by the commits
siOners Of New York IT is located near the
British cottages, and j. therefore in one of
the most commanding positions upon the
grounds It has a frontage Of 80 feet, with
a depth Of so feet, aud is two stories in
height, A fine observatory has been erected
from which a good view may readily be
obtained Of the surrounding country It
is handsomely fitted up and every cOnve-
nience that could be afforded has been pro-
viIed. In few words, it might be said
