great exposition, which is to continue for a

of body of thirteen commissioners ap-
pointed by the president of the United States.
Ample funds have been applied by con-
gress and by nearly all of the states to meet
the expenses of this greatest of all exposi-
tons, and the city of New Orleans has not
only donated the use of its magnificent park,
but, as a city and by her individual business
men and firms, they have opened their
purses and do not propose to have any thing
necessary to the success of the worlds fair
lacking. The buildings, which are built ex-
pressly for the occasion, are on scale of
elegance and beauty never before seen, and
will cost vast SUN of money.

Minnesota will be the ''Dairy Exhibits Of
