Today was Golden Rod day at the
Horticultural fair, the ladies of the re-
committee presenting every Wis
itor with a spray of the beautiful au-
tumn wildtlower.
The exhibits were added to in the
morning by a large display OF vegetables
from the government Indian school,
consisting of cabbage, turnips, sweet
corn, beets, cucumbers, radishes, peas,
beans, parsnips, carrots, onions, let
tuce, and flowers Of all kinds. The diff
ferent varieties made a display which
filled the northwest corner Of the build
ing, and proved conclusively that vege-
tables of a superior quality and size can
be raised il Santa Fe county when they
are properly cultivated. The yegeta-
bles were grown by the Indian boys In
the school under the direction of Mr..
w. 7, Shelton, instructor at the school,
and was arranged under his direction.
Among the displays from outside coun-
ties that are entitled to especial men
ton is that from the Agricultural col
lege at Mesilla Park, which was brought
up by Professor Cockerell yesterday. |
The display consists of apples, peaches, |
pears and plums, and the visitors linger
over the table on which it is arranged
admiring the size, color and perfection
| of these specimens of New Mexico fruit
products.
This afternoon one of the attractive
features of the fair "a the music. In
struments of different kinds were used
and the visitors were highly entertained
by the selections rendered. Those who
contributed to the music program were
Professor and Miss S%chormoyer, Miss
Hurt, Mr.. Bergere, the Misses Gulliford
and the children's orchestra. The at
tendance this afternoon exceeded the
most sanguine expectations, many be-
ing present more to see the art display
than to look at the fruit.
The Art Exhibit.
The art exhibit at the Horticultural
fair is a very creditable feature. 1t oc-
cupies the southwest corner of the
hall where it is arranged so as to show
off the various articles to the best ad-
vantage. Such articles as fabrics, paint
ing, drawings, ETC., are fastened against
the walls. while the rugs and chinaware
are on tables enclosing the space.
The first feature to strike the atten-
ton is a glass case of very handsome
decorated chinaware. The exhibit in
cludes a large punch bowl or tureen
with moulded chime, and beside it is a
large vase of ornamental mould, both
articles being painted in an artistic
i, manner with varied flower designs. Eur.
Their articles in the exhibit are cups and
saucers, plaques and plates ornamented
with cherry, oak leaf, other fruit and
flower designs, the cups and saucers be-
ing particularly unique and artistic,
The exhibit is being much admired.
The next object to attract he atten'
! is a colored photo of a Senorita Mexica
ma with foliage hung around her neck
and bound around her very much Unit
ed States straw hat. The girl wears
smile that is highly natural and taking
so different from the quirking smirks
plastered so often over the faces o.
American gals who infest the country
studios to have their ''picturs took.
The coloring is artistic and natural
The photo is worth study.
The array of embroideries will beal
careful scrutiny. These embroidery
exhibits are of home manufacture, an(
show a most commendable progress b,
the home talent, some of whom are bu
mere children. Some of the exhibitor
are girls 10 and IL wears of age.
The bulk of these exhibits includ'
handkerchiefs, doylies, drawn work
table and stand cover and ornamental
cloths of various kinds. The design
run to flower work mostly, which ar
elaborated in colored silks on white clotl
plaques and circulars in a style AM
elegance of finish in detail calling TO
especial praise. The flowers are largel,
wrought out in circular patterns. Their
is one design in strawberry that will
draw attention, as will the patterns II
chrysanthemums, harebells, lilies an,
dahlias.
The lace work is highly creditabl
also, and a large %crochetted afghan an
ornamental quilt call for mention.
A number Of water colors and crayon
marked A. Seligman will repay exam
ination, for they are excellent portrait
ures in outline and coloring, and a larg
crayon of Venus df Milo is an excellen
piece of artistic work. There are als
other crayons and paintings represent
ing interesting scenes in everyday life
