stitch even to the buckle coverings was
done by hand, the work being better
than that done by machinery. The
harness is the property of the Stude-
baker company.
The northwest corner of the building
! is devoted TO a display of furs. 1t en-
braces everything from a raw skin to
the finished product. The touch OF
frost in the air yesterday made this
display particularly attractive to visi-
tors. A magnificent mountain lion in
a cage added reality to the exhibit
which was arranged by the r. Stencil
Fur company.
The D. C. NJ l. and Robinson Bros.
company are the only competitors In
| the boot and shoe class. Both exhibits
are above the ordinary, a feature of
the latter exhibit being display of
the seventy-two pieces used in the
manufacture Of certain shoes.
Probably the most interesting ex-
hibit in the department is that of l5he
/ Utah Sugar company. The course of
sugar from the beet stage until it IS
ready for the market is Shown. At
one end of the booth is a bunch of
sugar beets. Then come a row of huge
glass jars, showing successfully the
cossettes before the sugar is extracted,
the pulp, diffusion juice before car
liquor after crystallization, and finally
the raw sugar.
The exhibits pertaining to the silk
industry in Utah attract much atten
ton. They are about half a dozen in
number, and include everything in
that line from the cocoon stage to the
finished product Reeled silk, spun
silk, sewing silk, silk lace. portieres,
shawls and floss work are very much
!,
c. r. Fry Of Ogden, has five pounds of
cocoons on view Other silk industry
exhibitors are Lomax & Son and Kate
Dougail of Springville, Lizzie Siddoway
of Salt Lake and Adeline Barber of
Logan. A curious fact is that all the
exhibitors who are promoting the
propagation of the silk worm are
worcen.
Among the special exhibits in this de-
partment are quite a number which
add greatly not only to the effect from
a color standpoint, but increase the
value of the exhibit materially. In the
center of the building, directly under.
the decorative star and circle, is the
booth or exhibit of the Hewlett Bros.
company. 1t is an oddly from an art
standpoint, being round. about twenty
feet in diameter at the base and six
feet in diameter. The entire things is
made up of circle after circle of canned
goods, flavoring and bottled delicacies,
the whole being surmounted by three
crowns with an American eagle at the
pinnacle. Colored lights add to the
effect.
The exhibit of j. C. Mcdonald is
surmounted by colored candied re-
production of the Brooklyn bridge and
East river, with Dewey's flagship
Olympia just under the bridge,
Two booths which in themselves are
great attractions are those of the In
land Salt company and the Metealf &
Sons Bottling company. The former
is an octagonal reproduction of the
salt architectural work which has made
the Salt Palace famous. 1t stands
about twenty feet high and is orna-
mented with many curious salt forma-
tons The other exhibit is an imita-
ton spring, followed, apparently, out
of solid rock and surmounted by
pretty fountain.
Away off in the northeast corner of
the building is the exhibit of the Salt
Lake Brewing company. 1t is arranged
in imitation OF a fort and has been
christened Fort Gambrinus. 1t is
drawing card and no visitor leaves
without looking it uD.
The plumbing, iron pipe fitting and
water heating apparatus exhibit of P.
]. Moran forms a pretty study in black
and white to greet visitors entering the
north DOOR While a tantalizlng booth
is that of the Overland Pickle COM
pany.

this department are G, G. Perry, Mrs.
Gertrude Thomas of Salt Lake; Paro-
wan Cooperative Machine company of
