There are two great national ex-
positions in contemplation in the
United States at the present time,
namely: The Permanent Expo-
sition cf the Three Americas, to be
located at Washington, and to be
opened in 1889 in honor of the canten-
NAL of the Constitution of the United
States; and the Worlds Exposition in
1892. in honor of the 400Ch anniversary
of the discovery of America by Colum-
bus. Mr.. Alex. D. Anderson, secretary
of the board of promotion of these two
great expositions. in a letter to Con-
gress, referring to the Permanent Ex'
position of the Three Americas, thus
wildly and t~rsely defines the adVan-
tages to be derived therefrom. After
setting forth few trade statistics,
during which he estimates there are

the elements and gives assurances of fu-

1t is difficult to determine lust who
is entitled to the honor of having given
the Territory of Utah an exposition
building Certain 1t is that the presi-
dent of the society, Mr.. John r. Win
der, and the secretary, Mr.. A. M. Mus
ser. in behalf of the former board of di-
rectors, whose names are given below
petitioned the Legislature of last SEES
sion for an appropriation for q fair
building, but they had done that many
times before. In 1884 the Legislature OF
that year, through its committee on
agriculture Of which Mr.. William B.
Preston was chairman, appropriated
SIS, 900 for fair buildings, put the bill
containing it was vetoed by Governor
Murray. Certain it is the City Council
of Salt Lake City voluntarily offered to
donate the land if the Legislature would
give the building, but they had done
also in 1884, the City Council having at
that time donated for the purpose the
east half OF Washington Square. We
must therefore conclude that on the
latter occasion there was general pre-
disposition in favor of the project and
divide the distinction equally into four
parts, as follows: To the society itself
for asking; to the City Council for aie-
ing aud abstting; to the legislature
for doing; and to the Governor
for not sitting down on the whole
schene with still, small, veto.

sitions under the direction of Napoleon.
The exhibitors at first numbered only
ito, and jury of nine was appointed to
decide upon the merits of the articles
exhibited. A gold medal was offered
as a special premium to the manufac-
turer who should deal the heaviest blow
to English trade. The second of the
French national expositions took place
in 1901 and was so successful that the
third was fixed to take place In 1902, and
nine expositions were held thereafter
nrior to the year 1919, in which year
there were 4,49i exhibitors. This last
was the conclusion of the purely ma
tonsl displays in France before the
great London international exhibition
of 1851. The sta selected for this
great exhibition comprised up
wards of eighteen acres in Hyde
Park, and thereon was erected
the building known as the "Crvstat
Palace" 8 general plan was pa lie O.
gram, 1873 feet long by lUS feet Wild.
There WAS also project on the
north side 936 feet long. the whole Gov

The exhibition had tour great depart
ments-raw material, machinery, man
ufacturers and fine arts. The estimated
value of the articles exhibited, exclud-
ing the lam nus K0hinoor diamond, was
81 052 596. The building was afterwards
removed to SIdeDhHm wleie it forms

'For the purpose of starting this en-
terprise," says the charter, land aiding
the president and directors in carrying
out the objects contem plated herein,
the sum of 81 500 is hereby appropri-
ated, to be drawn by the treasurer of
said society and expended by the board
in awarding premiums for the best
specimens of native productions.
Atsubsequent times other appropria.
tions have been made by the Legisla-
ture to the society, notably the sum of
IS 900 for the importation of improved
breeds of sheep, and 81 600 to assist in
establishing bureau of statistics; and
be it remembered these actions were at
time when the Territory could afford
such appropriations from its treasury
much less than now.
In the first instance there were
elected by the joint vote of the as
sembly, preside Mt and six directors
and these were given authority TO elect
q treasurer, secretary and such other
officers as they might deem necessary,
including the selection of their own
successors. The personnel of the origi-
nal board was as follows: Edward
Hunter, president; directors, Charles
Oliphant, William @. Staines, Seth NJ.
Blair, of Salt Lake City. James Brown,
Sem, of Ogden, and Calvin @. Pendle
ton, of Parowan.
For a time the society fourished
like green bay tree. The fairs were
quite regularly held, the statistics were
collected and reported to the Legisla-
ture and the Territory felt the benefit
of well directed and intelligent labor
in the interests of home industry.
But there came time when the Legis-
lature, for some reason, failed to ex-
tend the same helping hand to the
society which at the outset it had
been led to expect and as it had no
funds of its own and no way
to obtain any except by the
holding of fairs. the result was an ex-
livelihood for the society. However,
the board of directors maintained Its
organization, struggled brayely on,
continued to give exhibitions in old
market buildings, ward halls, and or
the sunny sides of houses, all the time
resolutely and persistently appealing
to the Territorial law-givers for
the assistance it so manifestly
and abundantly merited, until
the year 1882 when the ingratl-
tude of the Leg stature and other con-
slderations more strong that the So
ciety's exchequer, quite vauqulshed

from the holding of fairs. It was in
January, 1856, less than nine years after
the advent OF the Pioneers, at the time
when Fillmore City was the capital of
the Territory and the Legislative seq
sions were held there, with view of
promoting the arts of domestic in

remarked as simple justice that these
are the men who have borne the brunt
of the battle, without compensation,
during the long period of the Territory's
development: John r. Winder, presi-
dent; A. M. Musser, secretary and
treasurer; r. V. Morris. corresponding

When the smoke of the last day of
the last Legislative battle had died
away. an inventory of the society's
possessions, showed in addition to its
original assets, that it had ten acres of
good land in a capital part of the
capital city of the Territory, $40 600 to
its credit aud brand new board of
directors. 1t was also found that the
law had been so amended as to make
the president and directors elective by

society is best told by its board of di-

THE FAIR OF 1888.
To the Citizens Of the Territory of Utah.:
For many reasons the work of holding
the recent Territorial Fair was under.
taken by the Board of Directors
of the Deseret Agricultural and Manu-
facturln e Society with feelings of trepi-
datiOu and concern. At the very begin
ming of its endeavors vexatious ques.
tons arose and had 20 be determined
respecting the validity of the act max
ing appropriation for the exposition
building, necessitating the exercise Of
wisdom and caution in the contracting
of debt and consequent delay in pre-
parations for the fair When snally
the courts determined the legality of
the act, other obstacles of more or
less serious nature interviewed and
these together with the apprehension
of delay in completion OF the building,
fears that owing to thu insuficiency of
the notice given farmers would be
entirely unprepared to exhibit their
commodities and a wholesale apathy
among the people, consequent upon the
long period of inactivity in fair holding.
combined to inspire feeling of ankle y
in regard to the outcome of the project
which Was at once irresistible aud de-
pressing. 1t is therefore with more
Than ordinary pleasure that we are en-
abled to announce that in ali respects

SOME FAIR'sTATIsTICs.

At the fair of 1888 there were 424 ex-
hibitors aud 855 entries. In the premi.
ums distributed there were 12l di-
plomas, forty-two gold medals and
sixty-nine silver medals. In addition
to the cash shown on premium account
in the above report, there was received
and paid in agricultural implements,
animals, merchandise and other items
of value 81 ,245, making total distri-
button of premiums of 5000 81. As
careful an estimate as can be made of
the number of people who visited the
fair, places the figure at 20 900.
PROSPECTS FOB 'S9.
To give an idea of the interest which
the last fair has awakened and of that
taken in the forthcoming exhibition,
the following expressions from the peo-
pie to the secretary of the society are
given herewith:
FIRST IN THE FIELD.
SALT LAKE CITY, December Is. 1888.
John r. Winder, President D. 4. G II.
Society, SAT- Lake City:
Dear Sri am watching with much
interest the progress made for our Ter
ritorial Fair for 1885, and find q grow
ing interest among our farmers and
stockmen IN regard to our next exhibit
ton; and in order to make the greatest
success next year the subject should be
taken up now and kept alive right along
up to the time of our fair, then the re-
suit will be one of the largest and most
complete, in all departments of agri-
culture, ever witnessed west of the Mis-
sissippi. This is possible and should be
the case in October, 1889.
To those who think that our good
stock is too limited in numbers to make
good show, 1 readily grant that our
herds of Shortborn, Holstein, Jerseys,
DevoDs and the various polled breeds,
are not 80 numerous as in many herds
to be found in the Middle and Western
States. But we must recollect that our
fair, to be a success, does not depend
80 much upon the number of animals
exhibited as upon the high standard of
individual merit.
The breeder who exhibits from one
to three head of animals of high ex-
cellence, does more to make the fair
success and to encourage an interest
in good breeding, than two or three
exhibitors who show much larger
