WAsHINGTo:S, Dec, o. 1882
Alta meeting last evening OF the board
Of commissioners for Kansas Of the
Garfield Monument Fair. recently held
Al the capital, it was unanimously de-
cided that public statement should be
made, through the press OF the state, OF
the results of their efforts, and OF the
efforts OF those who so efficiently CO
operated with them; as well as public
recognition of The generous aid with
out which their plans aad. labo-s could
not have been successful
The ret profits from the sale OF arti-
Giles at the Kansas booth were about two
hundred dollars. When it is remembered
that the articles sold were of very in
expensive character, consisting of fruits,
(apples almost-entirelyl bouquets made
OF Kansas grains and grasses, and
"shepherds' crooks" which were simply
stalks of Egyptian corn tastefully trim
med with grasses and ribbons, the sum
total must be regarded as altogether
satisfactory.
Without the active, cordial and gener-
Gus cooperation of the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railroad company, the
participation of Kansas in the enter
prise would have been impracticable
All of the fruits, vegetables. cereals. etc.
donated to the citizens of the state were
transported to the capital by this com
pany free of charge The company
also, through its officers and agents, col
lected and contributed fine assortment
of grasses, cereals, etc, for sale for dec
orative purposes. The commissioner
and the ladies in charge of the work re
ceived numerous courtesies and valua
BILE suggestions from Mr.. Hilton of tn
land department of the same road; ant
Prof Warrall, who planned and is nov
perfecting the company's msgnifcen
exhibit in one of the buildings OF tn
agricultural department, exacted fresl
trihnte his genius as an artist by tn
beautiful and striking decorations whicl
his fancy devised from simple and IN
pretentious materials.
AZ matter of attraction merely, Ia
Kansas display had no superior, ant
none excited more approving comment
The ornamentation was novel and effeC
tive, while the fruits were SO far supe
rior TO anything that had ever bee
here, that many hesitated to believe tha
they were really the genuine product
of our state
The ladies of Kansas who labored S
faithfully and so unselhshly in preparin
for the occasion, and during its contin
uancc, 10 make ii success, are entitle'
TO the most cordial acknowledgment
They sacrificed personal comfort, an,
in some instances, perhaps, personal in
clination to the general success, an,
may justly congratulate themselve
upon the result.
