preparations at the least possible ex-
pense. 1t is this that has enabled them
to give to this and other states the sum
of $4,000 to aid them in collecting their
exhibits. The legislature of Vermont
appropriated an equal sum, so that now
there is an ample fund provided for a
collective exhibit of all our resources and /
industries. 1t is essential that our ex-
hibits should be gathered at once, and
duly forwarded and arranged. 1 shall

horses, cattle, sheep and swine, and for
our granite, marble and slate. To this
end 1 must have the best of everything
from every town. 1 will take to New

except live stock, and will return what
ever is entrusted to my care after the ex-
