tiOns, and TO some it forms a very at
tractive feature of their exhibit, for
here is given practical demonstra-
ton of their merit.
In front part, at the entrance on a
handsome table are the different med
ais, gold, silver and blonZe, taken at
different times.
Mr.. r. Knippenberg, so well known
in Texas as the agent of the associa-
ton, is in charge OF The exhibit, land has
Certainly displayed great lasts aud
IN its production. He
has been ably assisted by Mr.. E. Krost,
who is well posted in the beer BUSH
ness and knows what's good, and gen.
orally knows when reporter is dry.
1t is almost impossible to believe

has been grouped and practically put
into effect by President Adolphus
Busch, of the association. BE has
left nothing undone to excel all other
beer CT to introduce it into every part
Of the globe possible, and his fOre-see-
ing genius has accomplished this, and
