high-grade products.
In the middle snacn are to be seen

In the middle space are to be seen
the varieties of Colorado building
stone, the GRANTEES, the marbles, and
\ the sandstones; here we find state
ly center-piece composed of long cut
glass bottles containing the oils of
Colorado, resting upon a base form
ed of articles in fire clay, fire brick,
pressed brick, and ground mica. In
front of this department and grouped
upon tastefully draped tables are the
native manufactured articles in iron,
steel, brass and copper.
The agricultural display presents.
upon fields of black hung upon wall
of light blue, the wheat, oats, barley.
| flax, hops, broom-corn and the grasses
| (thirtyfive varities, including alfalfa
and gramma). In different parts of
this elaborate scheme are shown de-
signs in grain and grass in antique
oak frames and high-colored plush
backs, with plate-glass fronts, above
and below being rosettes and smaller
stands of the choicest heads of grain.
The corn of the state, some of it
fourteen feet in length, stretched IN
pyramids against the wall in the
background.
The center-plece of this department
consists of pyramid, the apex of
which consists of an immense glass
jar filed with Colorado flour, sup
ported by similar glass jars contain
| ing l25 varieties of grain in the ber-
ry. Around the base are arranged
the beans, the peas and shelled corn,
also in small jars. Upon the easels
are placed heroic photographs of
Colorado scenery, touched In oil to a
natural color, while in every conceiv-
able position are hung, with striking
effect, tastily framed Photographic
views of the wonderful scenic at
fractions in which the state abounds,
Tables are placed in different parts
of the space, exhibiting, among other
interesting features, an album of the
irrigation system of Colorado, not
only showing the canals, flames, wa
ter-gates and other sections of the
larger canals of the state, but also
giving the uninformed comprehen-
sive idea of how irrigation is carried
on; views of the principal quarries
IN the state; photographs of peach
and apple orchards; a picture of the
first building in Denver, and, in
amazing contrast, view of the new
state house. And these and many
other interesting, instructive and uni
que things are found in this or that
part of the inner space.
i Colorado's exhibit is, in short, OF
character which should and will
engage, we think, the attention oi
every visitor to our exposition. But
it more especially appeals to the in
terest of the business men of Chicago
the manufacturers, the builders, the
investors, and the farmers of this
, section. 1t will remain in its present
position until the close of the expo

: resources of western state has evel
. solicited of any public that attention
, to which we believe Colorado's ex

Colorado has also been assigned {
central position on the main floor o
: the exposition building, about 900
: square feet in area, upon which thu
5 state will make special display o
fruits and vegetables from the 25tt
5 of September to the 10Th of October
, and it is now believed that in the ex
hibit there will be shown 1890 yarie
ties OF fruits alone.
: If Colorado does not fail of Its IN
tenuon and of our belief, this frui
and vegetable display will prove an
other notable feature of our exposi
