one cannot help regretting that the
legislature was not more liberal In its
appropriation for this purpose, as the
world will he here and the world viii
judge us by whatever oiaplay we make.
! This is the first time In the history Of
the Empire state that she has exposed
to public view the txhaustless treasures
which che contains. People from
| Europe and the South American re.
! publIcs seem much Interested IN the

to see her represented by mustang
ponies, bD Vie-knives aud siX-shUOters,
stand amszad at the display, inoom-

lnort dullly 10 the Information that we
are only commencing to display,
With the scauty sum allotted this
great purpose, Col E.nott has made
magnlnetnt showing, aud 1t is TO be
regret. "a that the apathy OF the peo'
30 at iir.t resulted in such hardness
I bs 10 delay the exhibita till the
eleventh hour. IL is difficult
! for even Texan 10 realize
| the vast industrial resources OF our
state. She Will chow some 800 varle-
| ties OF grassts nearly 100 varieties OF
| trees, some 1900 specimens Of minerals,
/ iron ores, copper ores, lead, gold and
silver quarlz, etc; also AN infinite
number OF saudstones. marbles, gran

qusrrles. Wheat corn, oats, rye and
barley, cotton, sugar, tobacco, etc
will All be displayed. Besides these,
81 900 native botanical, and over 80 600
chronological specimens Will be
| shown.
Already on her space Is one OF the
finest collections Of birds, reptiles, an
muls. etc stuffed and mounted In the
| best OF style. Also a large lot OF FUR
niture made AZ the Texas penitentiary.
! We have 10y several thousand square
! feet larger space than any Of the ether
states, vet every inch OF the 10 600
feet on the ground floor and 5000 feet
ia the woman's department will be-
occupied. :
1t Is expected that II the railroad
companies will make liberal rates and
time for round-trip tlcket- over 300
900 Texans will visit New Orleans
within the next xix months.
One thing Ia certain, Texans will
have no cause To bA ashamed Of their
exhibition, which under the manage
ment of Col elliott and Capt. Gam
mcgee, will compare ftvorably with any
ON the exposition grounds.
