Exposition i'm beauty and grandeur has
been surpassed probably by only tvo simi-
lar sfafrs-the Worlds Fair at Chicago
and the recent Paris Exposition The work
done along landscape and horticultural
lines has proved immensely successful
The shrubs set out last fall have come
through the winter in fine style. none of
them having been killed. The grass.
wherever seed was suwu. Is also in good
condition
The bulbs which have been planted both
in the landscape and horticulture depart
meuts make q most brilliant show y
quarter Of Il million or more have been
planted by the department of works and
an equal number by the horticulture u"-
partmeut. Most of them are already tn
covered and Up through the ground The
water plants are also d@sUs extremely
well as the winter has been very favora-
Bile 10 them.
An immense number of plants are being
Dropagated-in the nsighboEhood of mil

farther south where the season is some
what earlier. as in New York and Phila-
delph5a are in q hurry to get their eN-
hibits placed.
The battered old Rocky Mountain mail
coach is now or the floor ofSIhe Govern
meut building. This relic Of the early
days of maiI-carrying in the West. of In
dian fights captures and recaptures, and
untold scenes Of thrilling and melodra-
matte interest, is a veteran of exposItlOns
as well as of the trails. As all who al
. tended the fairs in Chicago and Paris
probably have read from the cardboard
inscription on the door. this coach has
carried many famous people. including
/ General Sherman and President Garfield
! The coach used TO carry mail between
! Fort Ellis, and Helena, Montana
/ It was once captured by the Indians and
/ held for some time and recaptured again
