back, and the past again
became the present. The exhibits
are all now IN good shape, and the
freedom of the Exposition is ex-
tended to all visitors. 1t is but
that my first bow of recogni-
ton should be given to a sister
state, so young in years, so rich in
all that goes to make her famous
the Colorado State Exhibit. 1t
will prove a powerful magnet. The
space occupied is on the spot upon
which Shrewsbury Park was situa-
ted last year, but so strong is the
real estate agents, Messrs. Farrar
Il Tate-estimate of the value of
Shrewsbury Park that they feel
like that enterprising village should
not be supplanted even by Colo
RADIO. The display, as itnow stands,
will be sent to the Worlds Fair.
The space, which is the largest
ever assigned to any exhibitor, is
crowded with interesting contribu-
tons from every county in the
state-the agricultural division,
the great collection of fruits and
grain, the beautiful samples of
marble and a perfect mine of min
erals. A large collection of stuffed
birds, attractively arranged, clay
models, Indian relics, and an i'm
mense cave from the entrance of
which a full sized bear emerges.
The great dry goods ship of B.
Nugent moves safely on with the
old pilots at the helm, and under
the commanding ability and conf
dence of their Captain-the elder
Nugent. We all know from last
years experience that when once
the hood-gates of Nugent's ingenui-
ty are opened, the tide will run
strong. Lying at anchor near a
beautiful lighthouse IN which re-
wolves a shining light, is a magniti-
cent ocean steamer of perfect white
ness. 1t is 30 feet long, and made
entirely of white linen, table DAM
ask and doylies, and 200 yards OF
table damask are used in the deco
rations. 1t has 3 masts, all wrap
ped in spotless linen, and upon a
sea of toamy whiteness she proudly
rides the waves. A spirit of enter
prise prompts this firm in all they
do, so.we are not unprepared for the
name of this gallant craft. One
word in gilt letters inscribed upon
her prov tells the whole story
"Enterprise." Nugent Bros. are
now in the ripe vigor of a sue.

sails of this popular house. Thi'
exhibit this year stands as peerless
in this Exposition as the spotles'
reputation of the firm itself.
