be made from Baltimore today. Five cars
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be
loaded here and one at Cumberland with a
magnificent pyramid of coal. The Western
Maryland Railroad will dispatch large ex-
hibit in its own cars over its own Southern
route. A number of individual exhibitors
are also sending contributions, outside of the
State agency. Col. ]. Thpmas Scharf, one Of
the Maryland commissioners, who has been
exceedingly energetic AID successful in bring
ing out fine showing for the State, will leave
Baltimore for New Orleans November q, to
superintend the work on the ground of put
ting the State exhibit in shape. DR.. G. W..
Bishop, the senior commissioner, will not go
to New Orleans until the middle of Feb
ruary.
Maryland moves late in the matter. Back
wardness had almost crowded the State oGt,
and, in fact, her geographical position on the
floor of the exposition hall was underlined until
September.
In accordance with the plans of the expo
sition, State exhibits are confined to the
illustration of natural resources and products.
The plans of the State commissioners COM
prehend grouping the Maryland exhibit and
the illustration of its resources and products
in tastefully designed structure, formed by
placing model of the Battle monument OF
Baltimore on large base arranged for the
display of exhibits. The Battle monument is
selected as the central decorative figure be-
cause it is the symbol of the Monumental
City. Specimens of the birds and animals
belonging to the State will be used in decora-
ton. Emmart & Quartly have made two
large banners 8 by 10 feet, one for each end
of the Maryland section, on which are en-
blazoned the coat of arms Of the State. The
collection of rich and costly flags belonging
to the city of Baltimore will be displayed in a
case IL feet high, and brought out on occasions
for decorative purposes. The commissioners
have bought also 5000 flags of various sizes,
many of them exhibiting Maryland colors and
devices which will be artistically employed
and grouped in decoration.
Probably one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the Maryland collection is set OF
views and portraits. Col. Scharf mode col
lection of 1000 American views and portraits
from which everything pertaining to Mary
land has been selected These will include
pictures of all the large public buildings and
institutions of the city and State. A highly
interesting and instructive panoramic view OF
the city of Baltimore has been arranged by
collecting original designs, showing the pro-
gress of Baltimore, giving views of the town
as it was when first laid off in farms the plat
when it was laid out in streets; the town in
1878, in 1852, in 1897, in 1903; panoramic
view of the city of today, twelve feet square,
and a new Poppleton's map. There is also
