MARYLAND AT THE FAIR.

Mr.. HutzIer Says the State Exhibit
Will Be First-Class.
Mr.. David Hutzler, a member of
the Worlds Fair Commission for
Maryland. said Saturday that there
is every reason to believe that Mary
land will be represented at Chicago
in highly creditable manner.
"a great deal of work." said he,
"has been done by every member
of the commission. A building
has been erected at cost of $40, 600,
which has been pronounced by COM
petent critics to be worth at least
$4,000. The book on Maryland
and its resources will be ar inval
liable publication, and could not
have been secured at all had not
some of the best minds in the Johns
Hopkins University, such as Presi
dent ID. C. Gilman and Profs. W.
B. Clark, H. B. Adams, W. K.
Brooks, W. II. Williams and Mil
ton Whitney, with Drs. VIM. Hand
Browne, G. p. Cronk and others,
who desire to show that they felt
an interest in the work of the COM
mission, aided them by the prepar-
alton of the material that will be in
the book. ! fully believe that the
nominal sum-S10, 000-which has
been set aside to defray the expen-
ses of publication, will result in a
return to the state of more than
five times that amount.
"In addition to the erection of
building and the proposed publica-
ton of the book, map has been
ordered, which will show the topo-
graphy of the state in relief. 1t
will cost $1,000. The Maryland
Institute has received about $3.50,
to enable the management to ex-
hibit the work of it's school of de-
sign. The commission has also
appropriated $3.50 to the Charity
Organization Society, to defray the
expenses of an exhibit which is be-
ing prepared by Warden John f.
Weyler, of the Maryland Peniteu-
tiary, and there is still sufficient
money in the treasury to make the
exhibit of the state all that could
be desired. The committee on ex-
hibits is now actively engaged in
collecting specimens of the various
resources of the state, and | under
stand that the richness and variety
of the samples of marble, granite,
etc. so fast collected, were revela-
ton to one of the leading stone
men in Baltimore. | also under
stand that one Of the Chicago in
situations has asked for duplicate
of the collection. The same care is
to be taken in the exhibit of every
resource of the state, and ! antici-
pate that just as We are hearing
compliments upon the beauty of
the MARYLAND Building at Chicago,
so will We hear Maryland's exhibit
highly spoken of. and | believe
that the display will be one of the
best in the Fair -
There is no intention,of making
the Maryland Building anything
like club house, further than to
keep files of papers of the state
there and to provide those comforts
which are necessary to all Mary
landers.
In order to provide additional
funds for the distribution of the
book already referred to, the COM
mission proposes to have a number
of souvenir medals made, which
will be sold, and the profits appro-
priated to that purpose. 1t should
be borne in mind that the commits
sion has been meeting weekly ever
since its organization. Many of
the members come from outside
of the city, but their interest in the
success of the Fair is such that
they willingly pay their own ex-
penses, in order to learn all that is
being done oy the commission.
