1.-THE best vehicles on exhibition. The
utah Implement company had a good
Iexhibit in building directly south of
1.-THE Exposition building.
IN THE BUILDING.
Every Utonian, whether native, or
adopted, felt a thrill of pride when he
Ientered the Exposition building yes
Iterday. He saw a maze OF red, white
and blue bunting festooned from the
lroof, intermingled with hundreds of
.lfags, all combining to stir to life all
Ibis slumbering patriotism, especially
when Held's band played stirring mar
Itial airs. When the chaos of beauty
and plenty about him began to re-
lsoIve itself into definite form, he saw
booths, pagodas, Swiss cottages and
igrottos, all standing for some one OF
iUtal's natural products or cultivated
industries. And when these objects
took still more definite form, he saw
that on the ground floor of the main
building the exhibits were arranged IN
a kind of rectangle through the center
from the north to the south ends, as
well as along the four walls.
A MOUNTAIN OF SOAP.
The first thing to command atlen-
ton on entering the building is the
mammoth soap exhibit Of the Grant
Soap company 1t is in the form
Iof an immense bee hive and occupies
the center of the main floor. tho place
of honor It is eight and a half feet
LAT the base. six and a half feet at the
top. and towers nineteen feet into the
air. Fred Grant is the author of the
design and it is q most ingenious one,
as it gives opportunity to exhibit all
lof the goods manufactured by the
company The bee hive itself is made
of long strips of soap of various col
lors, while the base is composed of soap
lof every kind from ordinary laundry
SOAP to the finest toilet. On the sides
are seen the noted has relief represen-
ltation of the temple and the joint city
and county building, works of art IN
themselves. and which were displayed
lat the Midwinter fair.
In making this great tower, 6,5oo
lpounds of soap was used, and every
hound of it is used to advantage IN
the dome and base of this mountain
= soap there are arc lights, and at
night the effect produced charms the
eye.
To the right, and south of the monu-
ment. was the picturesque booth where
soap of all varieties, from the ZION
laundry stamp to Sego Lily, which IS
delicate enough for any lady's face
was on exhibition. This was the dls-
play made by the Western Manufactur-
ing company, of Ogden, Utah.
FLOWERS AND PALMS.
South of the soap exhibits was a
wealth of floral beauty, which attracted
la throng of admirers all day. First
was seen the artistic collection OF
palms. ferns and choice flowers. belong
ing to Dwyer, the florist. A Tyre OF
pearl and Mermot roses and tidal wave
carnations over which perched three
white doves holding in their beaks a
broad white ribbon which hung over
the emblem, was lovely specimen OF
the florists art. Baskets of dewy roses,
among which was the new bridesmaid
variety, were set off by their foil of
palms, making a lovely collection. On
the right of Dryers exhibit was that
of Cramer, who displayed an album
; dance of cut flowers and potted plants
East of these was what seemed at
first glance a forest of palms and ferns
with the bright hues of flowers peepine
out here and there.
The Lafayette floral establishment
showed some fine specimens, and the
City Cemetery greenhouse was despoil-
ed of a host of healthy and handsome
; ported plants for the occasion.
MINERAL EXHIBIT.
, Passing in our rounds the Salt Lake
Pressed Brick company's showing of as
good brick as is made anywhere, ar
ranged in a highly artistic design by
Gushing and Chapman, we come to
Utah's splendid mineral exhibit, which
occupies the southwest corner of the
; building. Practically all of the Worlds
Fair and Midwinttr Fair specimens are
displayed. Richard Macl1intosh's pri-
vate collection. which represents the
cleaning of twenty years, made hand
some showing in a cabinet. Some full
ler's earth from Summit county was
exhibited in this department. and it was
stated that similar material was used
instead of soap for the cleaning pro-
cess at the Provo wooden mills.
UTAH ONYX.
Adjoining the cases of ore and south
of the west entrance, is one of the
; most noteworthy displays at the fair

) mantels are examples of high art, both
being of the beautiful orange onyx
brought from the west side of Utah
. lake, in one of them the beauty Of the
: lighter onyx accentuated by the intro
duction of darker facings of the brown
Cache county variety. The legend, I'm
portation is no longer necessary. The
