Buffalo, August 5I.-The Illinois
Commissioners have turned over the
handsome State. building erected on
the Pan-American grounds to the
State of Florida, September 12,
where the exercises for Florida Day
will be held. This arrangement was
made by Colonel Wier because the
18th of September had -beon set
aside for Florida Day in the Temple ,
of Music by the =Director-General,
the 18th having been at the same
time given to the managers of the
Polish Day. It was found that the
Florida Press Association, said to be
five hundred strong, could not reach
here by the 18th, so Governor Jen-
nings and the Commissioners here
have decided to meet at the Pan
American Exposition, September
18th, and hold the exercises in the
Illinois Building. The Commis-
sioners from Illinois were most
happy to extend this courtesy to
their Southern brethren, who had
elected a native Of their state to the
gubernatorial office. The program
will be the same as previously pub
lished in this column, the Governor
and Mr.. Charles Parkhill, of Pensa-
cola, being the principal speakers
