FLORAL, FINE ARTS, TEXTILE FABRICS.
1t was remarked by visitors from
Topeka that Shawnee county never
made finer display than that found
in our floral or art hall. 1t was, of
course, one of the centers of attrac-
ton. Every available inch Of space
was occupied from roof to floor.
There were a thousand and one things
that were not entered and of which
we can get no account. Many of our
merchants sent up show cases, filled
with the choicest articles from their
respective establishments, the contents
of which were, in many instances,
deliberately aud artistically displayed.
AS their action was prompted by
desire to lend attractiveness to the
show, and without hope of Eubstan-
tial reward they deserve, and no doubt
have, the thanks of the entire manage
ment. The articles in this building
reached in numbers up among the
thousands. We enumeratc the entries:
