EXPLANATIONS.
NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT
OF the Grand Army During the Sec.
ond Week of ExpOsitiOn-An
Event Not to be Duplicated.

The national encampment Of the
Grand Army will be held at Columbus
during the second week of the centennial
exposition. The great procession Of
Grand Army men will occur on Tuesday,
September II, and will be the most inn
posing pageant ever Witnessed in Amer
lea. Every department will bs largely
represented, and every G. A. R. post in
Ohio will be present. 1t is expected
that one hundred thousand men will
march in the procession with onei hum
dred bands Of music, and one hundred
powerful drum corps, making the finest
procession of Grand Army men ever
witnessed in this country. The Grand
Army in the Department Of Ohio will be
organized by regiments, each county
constituting . battalion. The local
Grand Army committee at Columbus
will provide tents or barracks for the &C.
commodation Of the delegations from
each separate county in Ohio, and from
each department in the country, and all
will be made comfortable while in camp.
Very many Of the G. A. R. posts in Ohio
are providing . centennial fund in their
treasures to bring the post - body to
Columbus. When this fund 10 made
ample, then the expenses of the entire
post during their visit to the encamp-
ment are TO be paid from it. Thus the
poor comrades are to be provided for 80
that all can come. It il the purpose to
encamp - near the Union depot 20 de-.
sirable grounds can be gotten. This will
be great convenience, and will bring
all the comrades near together. 1t is the
wish Of the comrades that headquarters
be established ct the State-house, both
the national and department headquar-
ters. This admirable arrangement would
relieve the hotels Of their great throng,
and be an elegant accommodation TO al
our visitors. The entertainments for the
Grand Army will occupy nearly the
whole week. Reunions, camp-hres,
competitive drills Of G. A. r. drill corps,
fireworks, fambssu clubs and sham
battles will occupy the time for four
days and nights and oil the memories
Of the old army life will bs charminsIy
revived.

Veterans" and great and
happy people will cherish with
Joy and pride the memory of the brave
men who offered their lives for the
life of the nation. Since the Grand
Army has been truly grand army the
national encampment has not been held
in a central location. In 1882 it was at
Baltimore, in 1883 at Denver. in 1884 at
Minneapolis, in 1885 at Portland, in 1885
at San Francisco, in 1887 at st. Louis.
Thus since 1881 it has not been held be-
tween st. Louis and Baltimore, q dis
tance of nearly 1000 miles. III this great
center Of the nation 25O, 900 of the COM
rades live, who have not enjoyed the
opportunity to attend Q national en-
campment. This year they will come
to Columbus and there will be such .
grand patriotic reunion a. was never be-
fore in this land. One hundred thou
sand ;. will surely come and We
should not be surprised to see
loo, 900 heroes ip the lines,
and the open hand and warm heart OF
Ohio will give them welcome. Colorado
may show them more rugged mountains;
Minnesota may show them broader
wheat-felds; Portland may charm them
with salt-sea air and clam -bakes; Cali
fornia may tempt and safe them with
her fruit and wine; but the state that
gave birth to Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan and McPherson and Garfield,
and sent SOC, 900 patriot heroes to the
front to follow their fearless leaders
wherever duty called, will welcome now
these heroic legions Of the grand old
army with such An enthusiastic velc0nns

Art Department Of the Ohio Centennial.
1t is proposed to make the art depart
ment one of the prominent features of
the exposition and an earnest endeavor
will be made to secure one of the best
collections of paintings, sculpture and
other art works that has been brought
together in the West.
This department will include galleries
of paintings, sculpture, drawings, etch-
ings and engravings, decorative paint
ing and designs, architectural designs,
art school exhibits, photography, pro-
fessional and amateur, etc. Industrial
art work, as wood carving, stained glass,
art pottery, mosaics, tapestry, art metal
work, art furniture, etc.
The principal feature will be the gal
leries of fine art, and it is hoped that the
prominent painters and sculptors Of the
country will recognize this as an oppor-
tunity Of bringing their work before not
only the people OF Ohio, but of very
large section of the country of which
Ohio is the center. Ohio people, their
relatives and friends, are scattered all
over the United States, and a large por-
tion of them will be present at her hun
dredth anniversary.
The national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic will alone bring
300, 900 people to the city, and many
other organizations will hold their an
nual meetings in Columbus during the
exposition, SO that an immense attend
ance is assured.
Every artist, native of Ohio, or who
ever called Ohio "home," should take
special pride in her centennial exposi-
ton, and not only be represented by his
hest work, but urge upon others the inn
portance of doing the same, the exhibi-
ton in this department not being limit
ed to Ohio artists.
The art galleries will be In q perma-
nent, substantial building OF brick and
stone, good and proper lighting will be
provided, and competent hanging
committee will endeavor to do all pict-
lures justice. Artists will be given
every privilege possible, agents having
been appointed as follows, to collect,
pack and ship, at the expense of the
exposition, such paintings and sculpture
as may be of sufficient merit: Grady &
McKeever, ZIG Sixth avenue, New York
City, painting; A. Walthausen, 453
West Twenty-ninth street, New York

nut street, Philadelphia; Williams &

George F. Churchell, 26l Wabash ave-
nue., Chicago; ]. F. Ryder, 239 Superior
street, Cleveland.

agents will first secure Of them, or of
the commissioner of the art depart
ment, the necessary blank schedules to

DAIRY CATTLE TEST.
A Series Of Tests Conducted Under
Management Of Board Of Ex.
position Managers.

There is want Of any reliable tests
of the relative merits Of the several
breeds of cattle now competing for pub
lie favor as dairy breeds.
The exaggerated statements Of breed
ers and Spectators have not inspired
confidence among farmers and dairy
men, who are not welded to any one
breed. The so-called tests have been
made by owners to give a fictitious
value to a favorite COW or family. The
dairymen and farmers are desirous to
know the relative merits Of the cattle
claimed to be dairy stock.
In order to arrive at some conclusion
on this subject, or to furnish facts that
will be accepted as such, the directors
of the Ohio centennial exposition, to be
held at the capital OF the state, have de-
termined to give test Of any or all
breeds for forty days.
An expert dairyman will have charge
of the test.
All breeds will be admitted to the con-
test. The cows will be placed in charge
of the superintendent, who will see that
thee have a comfortable stable, abun-
dant feed and water, and the best OF
care. They will be free from the an
noyance of visitors, and have se-
cured to them the quiet and com
fort as well as feed necessary to highest
milk production. An accurate account
of feed consumed and milk produced
will be made matter of careful daily
record. The milk will be weighed and
analysed and the amounts of solids, fat,
and water noted. The chemist who
will have charge OF this feature of the
test will be appointed by the board of
directors, because of high character as a
chemist and man of integrity.
The milk will also be tested in making
butter and cheese, and the results noted
with the incest accuracy of thermometer
and balance. The quality of the butter
or cheese made by each COW will also
enter into the problem.
1t is believed that under this carefully
| arranged milk test, continued for a
month, the public will be able to know
what are the actual capacities o. the
several breeds, as well rs OF the indi-
vidual cows representing the breeds.
| The results arrived at will be tabulated
and appear in the annual report of the
board OF agriculture for 1888 as Il matter
OF history and public record. 1t would
| be strange If some native with a
crumpled horn would prove better all
round family COW than any of the i'm
ported breeds. There are such Ohio
natives as will do credit to the country.
Let them come to the test. AS soon
as the commissioner OF the livestock
department and his superintendent of
this dairy test complete their outline of
requirements OF entry and points OF
comparison the dairymen and farmers
will be notified so they can get their great
mixers ready for this centennial test.
