NOT IN IT.
Texas wn Not "EIhIbi" Mt the Great
Worlds Pair.

NotiAa TAFT
Because the products and various ex-
hibits Of the Lone Star state will not be
seen Mt the Worlds fair, canuot be at
tributed to any failure on the part Of
those whose duty it was to arrange an
exhibit and to procure the necessary
space in the Texas building for the dis
play.
A representative Of The Gazette yes
terday was given a short interview with
one Of the gentlemen upon whom deyolv.
ed the duty of looking after Texas in
terest at the fair. He stated that Texas
would have no exhibit. nor was there
suitable place provided whore a display
could be made, aud that parties who
have, had charge OF It have come to the
conclusion that ii wasn't Intended Texas,
exhibit should be made from the start.
Said the gentleman:
In the construction Of buildings for
other states space was left for col
lectiye state exhibit aud all the places
were supervised by the Worlds fair
architect before they were accepted. and
the leaving out Of this space for Texas
by the architect would seem TO be in
territorial. Ii was thought that m hor-
tlcuitural exhibit could be made In hor-
tlcultural hau; but even this upon in
ycsligation, proved TO be not so, as the
fruit wonld he In one hall, the flowers
IN another the vegetables ia a third
and the shrubs. pants and grapes In the
fourth hall. The only way possible that
complete Texas exhibit as now col
lected and On hand could be had would he
TO divide 1t up into thrty-six different
elassiications and scatter il over 300
acres Of floor space"
The gentleman interviewed Is OF the
opinion that about the best plan now left
for Texas people to show up the great
resources Of the state is for various coun-
Ties. cities AND boards of trade TO take
immediate action to make fine display
at the next state fair. THE exhibit Of
Texas intended for the Worlds fair aud
other exhibits should be displayed at me
state fair. and doubtless will be seen on
that occasion.
At the meeting of the state horiicul-
tural society TO be held at Rockport.
June 20. action will be taken IN regard
to giving to the citizens of the state d
true statement Of Texas connection
with the Worlds fair movement. The
whole matter Is TO be laid bare, and the
expose promises 10 develop some rsrh
facts.
