of home industry which characterizes
the preparation for the coming exhibit

ton. and ali classes of its citizens be
benefited by the appropriation made by
the third state legislature of Utah, the
premium list has been made very gem

Grafton possible is shown for all the
arts and industries of this great stale.

les of our own state"

demonstrate to anyone acquainted with
the previous exhibitions Of the society,
the fact that the premiums offered not

fore. but that the total amount of pre-
miums is much greater than has ever
been offered at any previous fair.
