trip to Chicago and St Louis. had long
report Of routine character to make and
this took UP much of the time OF the
meeting.
One thing decided upon at the meeting
was that the state would need more room
at Buffalo for its mineral exhibit The
increase in the granite displays have
made this necessary. Extensive tele-
graphic communications were carried on
by the commissioners and the authori-
ties at Buffalo upon this subject. 1t Is
blieved that without any troube ample
space will De provided and that the ex-
hibt Of stone and minerals of various
kinds will be the best seen in this coun-
try for years.
The commissioners are iuDilant over the
action Of the state fair board in granting
them the privilege of making use of the
great forestry display which Minnesota
so famously exhibited at the Chicago
worlds fair. This wonderful timber col
lection represents a financial outlay of
about $4,000 and is one OF the most re-
markable OF it's kind ever exhibited. 1t
will be a valuable requisition to the
states exhibits The commission is at
liberty to use it in whole or in part 1t
was at the instance Of Supt. MacMullen
that the fair board managers made this
concession.
The commissioners are working with
their butter exhibits. Already they have
a sufficient amount on hand or en- route
for the May display, and there will be no
doubt whatever Of the future arrivals be-
ing as large and excellent in quality.
