FINE COLLECTIONS OF FRUIT.
The Washington county display Is also a
fine one. probably as fine as the exhibit from
the same county which won first honors
PAST wear. II occupies a large section OF the
hall on the east side and contains more than
500 plates of fruit. 1t Is In charge OF c. c.
Marshall, G.. NJ. Whitford and Otto Frabm,
There is a general collection OF all classes
OF fruit. There are shown l5i varieties OF
apples. The exhibit is a complete one ana
shows that Washington county is well up
toward the front in the matter OF producing
fine fruit. The display Of apples and grapes
Is deserving Of especial mention.
The York county exhibit is in charge OF
II Struble and George Rossiter. 1t contains
much good looking fruit, especially pears.
The leading varieties are Duchess, Clapp's
favorlte. Keirer and Sickle. The Douglas
,coUnty is the fourth and last county display.
II contains about $50 plates of fruit, the APP
pearance and taste OF which justify the
conclusion that as good fruit can be grown
In and about Omaha as in any part OF the
state. Many plums are noticeable in the as
play. Four immense apples OF the POUND
sweet variety attract attention. The Haas
and the Welthy are the leading winter va
rietles of apples shown. Charles Huxbolt
exhibits sections Of grape canes with fine
clusters of the delicious fruit. There are
some fine looking peaches, too, displayed by
Mrs. John Briggs, Henry Wilt and Isaac
wilt.
Marshall Brothers make what is probably
the best individual exhibit. There are 200
plates of apples, the best varieties in order
being: Duchess, Welthy, Utter, Grimes
golden. Jonathan, Ben Davis, Winesap,
jeanette and Pippin. Clyde II. Barnard Of
Table Rock has a large display OF handsome
fruit. That the season is a favorable one Is
proven by the splendid lot of apples that
Al adorn his tables. He exhibits 800 plates Of
tempting fruit. His best varieties of apples
are the Ben Davis and Winesap. He eX-
hibits one large apple that probably takes
first place so far as dimensions are con-

STATE UNIVERSITIES EXHIBIT.
Though all the fruit looks well this year
the grapes are of better appearance than
any other class of fruit. In the center of
the hall is displayed 1,SO0 plates of grapes,
loading down a table that extends nearly
half the length of the building. The grapes
are far in advance Of those shown last year
and may be fairly declared the best fruit,
as n whole, in the hall. In order of ripen-
ing the best varieties: Moore's early, Wor-
den, Concord, PacklingtOn, Brighton,
Niagara, Elvira and Moore's diamond.
In the northwest corner of the hall is
the biological exhibit of the University of
Nebraska. 1t is under the supervision of
A.. T. Peters, d. V. NJ, and is in the i'm
mediate charge of V. f. Barber of Lincoln,
who is connected with the State univer-
! sity. The exhibits all illustrate the science
of animal pathology and its work. Alec
holic specimens show the good results ac-
complished by the use OF anti-toXine. There
are diseased bones of animals exhibited,
showing SPAWN, ringbone, sidebone and
fractures. A freak is exhibited, too; it is a
colt with but two legs. There Is also n
= horses leg with two hoofs. The science of
microscopy receives some attention, and
there are microscopes on hand with which
visitors NAV see all the recently discovered
microbes.
Adjoining the university exhibit on the
south Is a collection of evergreens exhibited
J by Rev. C. S. Harrison of Weeping Water.
1t is a complete exhibit of Rocky mountain
evergreens and receives unstinted praise.
The best varieties are the sub alpha ian eX-
tremely rare planD. silver cedar, Douglas
spruce and plea englemanii.
Next to the evergreens along the west
side of the hall is the display of preserved
fruit and other toothsome stores of the
pantry. This exhibit is more than twice as
large as it was last year, and the quality
has not decreased with the increase in guam
tity. Those whose jellies and preserves
merit mention are the following:
