VERMONT EXHIBITS
To Be Seen at the Worlds Fair.


DR.. II. H. Mcintyre, Vermont's Worlds
Fair commissioner has prepared a statement
in regard to the state exhibits in which he
says: Following the conditions of the APP
preparation, the Vermont commissioners
made special efforts to provide compre-
hensive agricultural exhibit, covering the
leading resources of the state. In the
northern gallery of the agricultural build
ing is maple sugar pavilion designed by
Jarvis Hunt. The pavilion consists of
low coping on which stand two caryatids,
with corner posts and other pillars, which
support somewhat ornate roof. 1t is one
of the most tasteful exhibits in the build
ing Within are displayed maple sugar and
syrup arranged so as to be very pleasing
to the eye) and other forms of maple prod
ucts, such as sap vinegar and maple con-
| dictionary. The exhibit was arranged by
the Vermont Maple Sugar exchange of
Brattleboro, under direction of G. ID.
Whitman. WEIGH Brothers of Burlington
are also represented. The location of this
display is excellent, and the effect as
whole and in detail is very satisfactory.
Mr. Whitman is also connected with a
concession near the White Horse inn,
where is sold to all corners sweet cider made
upon the premises in full view, and also
maple sugar from Vermont in cakes or
waXed on snow, as preferred, the latter be-
ing shaved ice in sauCers for each custom
er, and covered with hot syrup in the good
old-fashoned way. The location is an ex-
cellent one and the business of the con-
cession is good, and serves incidentally as
fine advertisement for Vermont's espec-
ial product.
Vermont marble is displayed in the
mining building. Samples from all the
chief quarries in the state are in the cases
of the Vermont exhibit. This exhibit is
contained within a circular wall about 10
feet in height, decorated in red, blue and
gilt, with the seal of the state on each of
the eight panels. These panels are formed
by the intersection of the huted Doric
columns which extend high above the walls
On each pillar rests a gilded spheroid

beautiful marbles and GRANTEES with which

tor car is loaded with the products of rep
resentative diaries, which on arrival are en-
posed in iced rooms beside the butter of
