| VERMONT STATE BUILDING.
The building for social purposes provided
for her present and former citizens by the
! state OF Vermont OF the worlds fair Is a
modest, but attractive structure. The ORR
| ginal understanding was that it would he
built OF marble and granite, to BIO furnish
sd producers OF building stone in Vermont.
This plan was found impracticable aud vas
abandoned; the building was necessarily
constructed of the Same material used
! throughout the exposition grounds, namely
wood and staff.
Its location, between the high buildings OF
Maine and Massachusetts, is unfavorab!o
and greatly INJURIES the architectural effect.
| The design has been frequently pronounced
one of the artistic hits OF tbs exposition. The
plan was prepared by Mr.. Jarvis Hunt of
! Weathersaeld Vt, aud carries the gener a.
idea OF a Pompean residence; suggested by
the fact that marble is best adapted to
| classic forms OF architecture. AS tho visitor
enters be comes upon an open court paysd
with cement and cooled by a white fountan
of original design standing in the centre.
| On either side of this court are we'll furnish
ed reception rooms, hung with paintings by
| Vermont artists. Beyond the court is the
main room, or assembly hall, largo and
| airy, painted with colors rostful to the Dyes
and hoored with white Rutland marble. A
long semi-crcuar bench extends around the
hail and beautiful Fireplace is found, con
structed OF decoratsd slate from Fair haven
Portraits of Senator Morrill, and Judge
Veazsy are on the south wall. From the
outside the whole is harmonious and arts
tic. The porcnes each side of the open
! court arc hoored with red tia from Swsnton.
| There is much decoration, in high coors,
and also statuery OF classic forms, notably
four caryatids at the entrance from tho
court to the main hall, and two sitting
figures representing agriculture and stone
working placsd on high columns in front
of the main entrance. The building is
lighted with electricity. A flsa pole with
the flag Of the state, stands in front of the
building. The coat of arms Of Vermont
and other emblcmatc figures are wrought
in bas relief above the csryatids which gus
tain the interior of the hall. No attempt
at anything in the nature of an exhibit /.
, made in connection with the State building,
as the resources at hand only permitted sx-
hibits in the main exposition buildings
THE EXHIBITS IN DETAIL.
Following the conditions of ths appropria
tons, the Vermont commissioners made
special efforts TO provide com pre- henslve
agricultural exhibit covering the leading re-
sources of the State.
In the north gallery of the agricultural
building is maple sugar pavilion also de-
signed by Mr.. Jarvis Hunt. The pavilion
consists of q low coping on which stand
two caryatids, with corner posts and other
pillars which support a somewhat ornate
roof. 1t is one of the most tasteful exhibits
in the building. Within are displayd maple
sugar aad syrup arranged SO as to be very
pleasing TO the eye and other forms oil
maple products such sap vinegar and
maple candy. Tho exhibit was arranged by
the Vermont maple sugar exchange of Brat
tlsbors and Is IN charge Of MIR. C.. d. Whit
men. Welch Bros OF Burlington are also
represented. The location of this display is
excellent and the effect as whole
and in detail is very satisfactory.
