The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-05-28

ton was celebrating the opening of their
splendid building and the completion OF
the arrangement of their wonderful list
OF exhibits. Among the completed state
buildings Montana has been added to the
list within few days and others will soon
sound the signal of the end of their work
OF preparation by separate celebrations in
neighbor, is still far behind. the building
ITSELF being still unfinished, to say
nothing OF the state of the interior.
Our own affairs are progressing at a
rapid rate and Utah may soon make
honorable claim of having placed at the fair
a more creditable exhibit than any other
state or territory limited to like means
OF expenditure. The work of placing the
exhibits III the building has not been en-
tirely completed as yet, owing to the de-
lay SO far made in the delivery of the
show cases which are to contain them.
The efforts of the people in charge have
made the place very attractive IN appear
ance, however, and the Utah people find
it a spot more approaching the appear
ance or suggestion OF home than any
place else in Chicago, for the atmosphere
Of 1t all is distinctively cosy and home
like.
The central space of the hall, which is
the main exhibit room, is covered with
carpeting in ecru and cream shades cor
responding to the tints of the ceiling and
walls. A number of easy chairs and
lounges are placed about the room for the
convenience ana comfort of visitors, and
the two small reception rooms at the right
of the building furnish cosy hooks where
one may chat, lounge or lie down as in
clination suggests.
Around the walls of the main hall are
ranged large show cases containing ex-
hibits furnished by various people IN
Utah, hand embroideries, laces, knittings,
ETC., done by ladies in Salt Lake; spec
linens OF leather and shoe manufacture
by Summerhays, Rowe & Co. and others,
fine wooden cloths from the Deseret mills,
and various other articles of interest and
inertia detailed account of which In our
present space will be impossible. The
railing up stairs is hung with various
embroidered draperies, and more inter-
esting perhaps than anything else is the
great flag made of wool of 3-months-o old
sheep, the national colors showing beau
tifully in the soft, fieecy material.
The walls of the main hall above the
cases are hung with pictures by Utah
artists, principal among them being
mountain scene by HI. l.. A. Culmer, a
harvest picture by HARDWOOD, a figure
painting by Mrs. Krouse, and Venetian
scene by Miss Hartwell. All of them are
excellent and do credit both to the artists
and the building.
In other buildings Utah's work goes on
but slowly, the progress being hampered
principally by the lack of faith on the part
Of the outside Workmen. In the mining
building work has been kept all of
month behind by reason of the booth being
left unfinished, and though many of the ex
hibits areready for installation and many
placed already in show cases awaiting dis
play, these have all to be draped in wrap
pers pending the completion OF the booth,
and till that is done nothing in the way
of arrangement can be accomplished.
Mr.. Mcguire has an excellent collection
of exhibits ready for display, and is anx-
iously awaiting an opportunity to place
them in array.
The agricultural department is also be-
hind, but promises to be completed this
week.
The delay III preparation is something
of disappointment to the Salt Lake peo-
pie whose stay must be limited, as Utah's
showing at the fair is to most of them of
more Importance and interest than any
thing else, and each wishes to gain and
carry tangible impression of the display
which will be made.
A number of Salt Lake people leave
Chicago within few days, some for
home and Others to extend their trip fur
Their east. Among those homeward-
bound are Mr.. and Mrs. IL. B. Clawson
and their daughter Ruby, who leave for
Salt Lake tonight. Mrs. Clawson and
Miss Ruby Clawson, besides taking in
the sights of the fair, have spent some of
their time at South Bend, Elgin and else
where in visiting relatives and the pleas
ure afforded by the associations make one
of the chief regrets for the end OF their
stay.
Mrs. Caroline Cannon and Miss Carral
Cannon left for the east yesterday and
expect to spend two or three weeks in
visiting New York, Washington and Bos-
ton and will then return for few days
stay in Chicago.
The chief object of the ladies' trip is to
meet Mr.. Lewis Cannon, who is at school
in New York. Mrs. Minnie James,
Mrs, Julia Taylor and a number of other
Salt Lakers leave at the end of the week
for tour OF the same cities. They will
remain two or three weeks before return
ing to Salt Lake. FRANCES.
