tween the exhibits OF the general depart
ments and those OF the state buildings.
In the exhibits of the former are all the
stable productions of the nations which
enter into competition with each other
in articles OF commerce, workman
ship or invention. These have TO be
passed upon by a commission by whom
they are declared worthy OF a place on
exhibition before they can enter the
general display. On the other hand,
the exhibits OF state buildings consist
almost entirely OF old relics or displays
OF sentimental interest only, most OF the
building being devoted Il luxurious
parlors, committee rooms and state
headquarters. or such for instance are
the. palatial buildings and furnishings
Of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
nearly all the eastern states. AS q rule
the state buildings are constructed OF
materials native TO the particular state,
and one can tell almost on first sight
just what state or national building he
is approaching by the ~outcropping OK
its local characteristics. Thus Califor-
mia is represented by al example of the
old Spanish mission church whose
adobe walls are somewhat heightened
and improved by a Moorish architec-
ture. Florida's building is modelled
after old Fl. Marion, OF st. Augustine
the oldest structure in America, begun
in 1920. Washington's is built OF logs
for a basement with q frame super
structure and Idaho's-"the gem OF the
mountains" is built OF logs and repre-
sen tative mineral rocks.
Many of the western and especially
the northwestern states, besides their
relics, pictures and such other sentimen-
tai exhibits, as are found in the eastern
state buildings only, have fine displays
OF their natural and artificial productions.
Washington, California, Iowa, and a
few other states have gone to great
lengths / n making magnificent exhibits
in their state buildings. The two first
named are exceptionally fine. in fact
finer than anything outside Of their own
to be seen in the general departments
of agriculture, mining or horticulture.
South Dakota has also made in her
state building, in addition to her fine
displays in the agricultural and mining
buildings, q handsome exhibition of
grains, minerals, petrified woods, fossils,
~sandstones and quartzes. In the ladies'
exhibit are many elaborate instances OF
embroidered, knit, lace, engraved and
painted work; Indian work also Of these
several arts, and the house built en-
tirely OF minerals BY the Custer county
ladies. The fossil exhibit OF the Sioux
Falls ladies is a rare collection. Every
thing in the building is arranged with
the most exquisite taste, and we are free
to say that in no state building did we
at any time see so many interested
spectators, hear o many complimentary
remarks passed upon the exhibits or
hear SO many questions asked by visitors
with regard to the exhibits as were at
all times being observed in the South
Dakota building. Conveniently located
at the 9th street entrance-the main
one to the gronnds-and OF attractive
appearance, it draws many to it's interior.
Mrs. VIM. Duff Haynie, Mrs. Oliver, Of
Huron, and Mira. Silsby, Of Mitchell,
have been indefstigable in arranging
the exhibit amidst great difficulties, the
unfinished state of the building, the
cold, wet weather and lack of help
causing them much hardship and hard
work. They have succeeded admirably
and deserve unstinted praise for their
labor and success. They were last week
relieved from duty by the arrival Of
Mrs. J. A. Trow, Of Madison, and Mrs.
John e. Bennett, OF Clark, who viii
have charge OF the ladies' exhibit for .
time. Mi. Brown, OK Sioux Falls, il

which is not yet complete, more material
being expected daily.
