NermOnt-and also of such illustrated
works as will best represent the at
fractions of the State as a summer re-

zeal interest
IN order to carry out successfully
| the purpose for which the committee
was appointed, it seems desirable to
adopt the following plan to promote
| the interests we have in charge
First-We desire photographs of
mountain, lake, river and rural seen
| cry, and general views of cities and
villages; also photographs of street
| scenes college, school and other pub
| lie buildings and hotels.
The committee further proposes to
| exhibit views of water powers, of
mines and quarries, and of the indus
tries of the State.
| The minimum size of photographs
| Cprints) to be accepted must be SX10
| inches which must be mounted.
| Second-A limited number of arts
tic paintings of Vermont scenery are
also wanted. These should be in
| frames.
Third-Articles of historical inter
| est are desired for exhibition.
All subjects or articles forwarded
for exhibition must be donated or loan
ed by exhibitors, as the limited funds

not warrant payment therefor. Every
| single exhibit should be distinctly
marked with the proper title and ad
dress of the exhibitor, The exhibits
will be returned in as good condition
as possible at the close of the EXposi
ton.
We respectfully suggest that mana
gers of railroads, boards of trade, vii
lage improvement societies, and Other
organizations having the best inter
ests of Vermont in view take steps a
once and collect and forward photo
| graphs and other similar articles fol
this purpose. Photographers, hOte
