 It may detract somewhat from the otherwise pleasant memories Worlds Fair visitors experience of the sights seen there, to learn that niHe-tenths of the attractions offer ed on the Midway Plaisance were produced by Chicago people. The turbaned Turk, with his loose trousers, the Algerian, tho Persian, and nearly all the other so-called Orientals were citizens of the wicked city of Chicago. The Con gress of American beauties were ali picked up from Chicago, and in, fact, it is said that aside from the Japanese and one or two other yil- lages, every show on the Midway was fraud so far as being what It represented.

the Horse show
Since the horse show at Madison
square garden there has been an in
creased demand for carriages of q
sporting character, such as tandems and
similar vehicles for driving. The show
stimulates people who Lad not used
them before, and opens the eyes of
those who have driven them, but driven
nditferently. These annual shows do q
great deal Of good, making demand for
better horsefeSh as well rs for better
carriages, says the New York Tribune.
1t is frequent remark of foreigners
that carriages here are kept in better

discarding gaudiness and supertluous
ornamentation in metal work.
one of the fashionable carriages Of
the day, the cabriolet, has been conSid-
erably modified. Instead of the round
body or boat shape (bateau), which has
been common for years, there is a ten

Gov. Brown Explains.

With reference To the report that Mary
lands exhibits al the Worlds Fair were
not properly displayed, or that the pro.
ducts of the state were not fully repre-
senied, Governor Brown Saturday said
"As far as the exhibits in the Maryland
Building are concerned, they will com
pare favorable with those of any other
state. The agricultural exhibits are,
however, placed in the Agricultural
Building. and they make poor showing
Maryland is not nm agricultural state,
and her exhibits, in comparison with
those Of Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Dakota,
Minnesota, and other grain producin =
states, will attract but little attention.
The grain exhibits from Mary land are
placed in jars, while those of the West.
ern states are arranged in designs repre-
senting national emblcms and farming
scenes. My advice was TO have all of the
exhibits of our state placed in the Mary
land Building, hut others thought it best
to distribute them. and the consequence
is that outside of the exhibits in the state
building. our products will hardly be
noticed"
