a- a uisstaiemeut in regard 20 what could
ur exhibited in state buildings on the
World fair grounds was published in the

uie.ri You and perhaps others, ! here
will answer each question asked i'll your
le.lcr:
Z IF learn that the Worlds fair COM
ui-siouors have ruled that no products
s.aa be put in state buildings"
TIE Worries fair commissioners have
l.trr made any such ruling and never will,
.l Tie contrary, the board of control. repre-
>eu.Ng the national commission, aud tie
board of directors of the Worlds Columbian
exposition association, in JOINT conference
yH 'ar ISL Of May last, adopted rules and
naso.HtlcnS for the establishment and main
l.Ilucc of separate state exhibits in state
buildings, and especially conceded the right
10 each state to use its state building rs
depository for collective exhibit OF its
Ia-4ral products ana resources. These two
O1arus. HAT made these rules, constitute

ulilGigE on IL Worlds fair grounds, in
which shall n shown the varied products
al yeSoJarceSSf orr great state. and | was
re", much nHyed when saw these mis-
statements IN tie papers, but l thought it
lost not 10 answer them, hoping that they
would soon be forgotten.
Although l imagine the foregoing fully
answers your letter. ! viii reply direct 10
lie remaining questions.
Ii Texas crects building, viii the COM
.1.ssioucrs allow the counties in Teas to
aul their exhibits therein"
The counties can put all their exhibits of
isa'ura! products and resources therein, as
yau vii. see from the inClosed rules
win al exhibits from Texas be distrib-
MED in the various buildings according 10
aaruIe of article exibited."
The exhibits of natural products aud re-
SOURCES Of the state can be shown in the |
-rate building collectively and in bulk. for
advertising purposes, while duplicates OF |
these exhibits on 4 small scale. rs per |
sample size. can also be placed in the great |
.t-IArimeulal buildings where they belong |
.rer instance, we can have immense columns |
q. Texas granite IN our state building TO |
nhow ou. granite in bulk for advertising |
;turiOses and at the same time we can have |
q small sampls Of the same granite, say u |
foot square. eXL bited in the great depart
mental building devoted 10 mines and |
mining, along side of the samples OF granite
q! this particular kind from every state |
- here il is found, aud in that building the |
sample would come in competition with the
others and stand chance of receiving an
award.
Il seems to me that these two methods are
;,eE fEtly simple-that they will enable each
state TO mike a complete and perfect eX-
III bit, which ought to be entirely satisfac-
cory ana gratifying TO the people.
/ have determined TO send a copy of this |
letter to Mr. Thomas j. Hurley, president
Of the Texas association At Fort Worth, so
that be can give it to the public, in order
that they may understand thoroughly about
these matters
