FAIR NOTES.

one of the most attractive exhibits in
the manufs ctures building Is that OF Il.
Mehesy. the turrier. From the stand
point Of value this exhibit IS the most
expensive i'm the building. Manager l. Z.
GiOsz said yesterday that the magnificent
rugs. furs. horns and heads displayed
were easily worth Sl5,OO0-a comfortable
little fortune in hard times or any other
kind Of times. There are so many strik-
ing features about this exhibit that II ls
hard to particulariZe. A great tiger rug
is one of the most admirable things IN
its line that has ever been put on eXhi-
bitiOn. Then there are rugs made from
the skins of nearly every animal found
in the west, as well as an ermine robe
worth hundreds of dollars. and other
things in proportion. The Mehesy eX-
hibit was picked as the first prize win
ner by Il large proportion Of the visitors.
Harry Shipler the commercial pho
tographer. has on exhibition a frame
filled with what he calls commercial
photographs. Just why he uses this term
i'm describing them it is hard to say, for
commercial implies a distinction from
art and Mr.. Shipler's specimens are re-
ally works Of art He has exterior and
I interior views of houses, pictures of big
buildings. views taken in the canyons Of
Utah and in the mining camps. and ever
detail is so sharply brought out that one
half expects to see the figures move and
hear the leaves rustic
Another splendid exhibition of photo
graphic art work is that Of the Johnson
company. Charles johnson. manager. Mr..
Johnson's adeptness I'm the science Of
photgorap ply is well known 70 Utah peo-
pie and the excellence OF his display
surprises none OF them.
Mrs. Blanche Pitt Lee has in the art
section a cabinet Of decorated china that
/ contains some magnificent examples Of
that sort of work A notable feature IS a
jar into which has been burned an In
dian chiefs bust. For coloring, smooth
ness Of finish and general technique
nothing finer is on exhibition.
