Lowered the Counting Record.

Messrs Cornelius and Mott, worlds
champion hose couplers, gave an ex-
hibition on the plaza east of the ter
mlnal station at the worlds fair be-
fore crowd of about 500 people. The
exhibition was interesting and re-
ceived considerable applause. Out of
twelve tests the highest time in the
double coupling at one yard was one
and two-ifths seconds and the lowest
one second. The second at ten yards
was lowered by the two men from tvs.
and four-ifths seconds to one and four
fifths. Mott holds the fifty-feet record,
made at Red Cloud, Neb., July 10. The
two men came to Chicago to enter the
worlds fair contests, which have failed
to materialize, and the exposition man
agement allowed them. to give an ex-
hibition.

The style of architecture is of the
Corinthian order. On the east and
west fronts are wide porticos with
large white stone steps on all sides,
which covers one third the length of
the building. Each one is supported
by six massive columns twenty-five
feet high extending the height of both
stories to the cornice. Over each por-
tico and resting on the columns is
large gable, on line with the main
cornice, in the pediment of which
brought out in bas-relief is the Ne
braska state seal, five feet in diameter.
The whole of the exterior is covered
with staff made in such designs as to
give the different treatments of stone.
The cornice is five feet wide with pro-
jections supported by medallions and
is similar to the cornice of the Pantheon
of Rome
Off the portico are three wide
double oak doors between each of the
columns leading to the exhibit room,
which is 70x6O feet and used for the
collective agricultural exhibit of the
state On the first floor is also gen.
eral reception hall 3Ox20 feet, and
opening from this are the Office rooms
for the convenience Of those carrying
forward the interests of the state and
her visitors.
The panels between the windows in
the first ;lall have been decorated by
the counties of the state with grains
and corn worked into artistic pictures.
Gage county has been placed at the
foot of the stairway, and the map is
made of seeds and grain with nuts
placed here and there to show the
location of the schoolhouses.
-Four columns support the center of
the room. and each is surrounded by a
special industry. The beet sugar in
dustry is one feature of special interest
The double stairway from this hail
leads directly to similar room above
of the same dimensions, which is used
as an art room. On this floor are To-
Gated the ladies' reception rooms and
parlors. In the reception hall is a
center table of oak beautifully carved
by Miss Barbour, of Lincoln, in, beet
design, to represent the industry of
! that section of the state. A corn flag
used as a portiere was made by the
women of Blair: County, and contains
$4,000 grains. A picture of the first
homestead taken in the United States
is also an interesting historical feature
| The women of Nebraska have not neg
lected the artistic nature and exquisite
| pieces Of decorated china, and needle
embroidery have been executed by
their hands, and fill cases in their
state building.
The building was erected at cost of
$4,000. In addition $1,000 was ex-
pended in the interior embellishments
which has been so exquisitely done as
to form an attractive picture which
leaves lasting impression.

bright lustre of brassy nature.

The Columbian liberty and peace bell,

There are three inscriptions on the

held in their normal positions by
means of chains attached to forward
