REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, Nov. 14.-As a commentary
upon the earnestness with which New
York has worked to make adequate eX-
hibit of her wealth and resources at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition 1t may be
stated that the next meeting of the New
York State Commission, on December Is,
will be held in the structure the State has
built at the Fair.
There was a meeting Of the commission
here on Wednesday in its offices in the
| Equitable building and reports OF the
progress Of the work or the State build
ing were Of such a character that the next
meeting was promptly scheduled for st.
Louis.
The prominence which New York is to
have at the Fair is begotten not only Of
its commercial importance, but because
the work of the New York architect. the
New York sculptor. and the New York
designer will be everywhere evident.
1t is impossible to give yet any idea of
the display of the liberal arts and man
ufactures which will be made, by the
merchants of New York. as the State
Commission has nothing to do with SUCH
matters. It is only e9n resdY1rces Wit "a the the
State and its economic institutions.
BEAVER COLONY.
The exhibits are to be as far from the
ordinary as possible. In the forest. fish
and game division. for instance. there
will be a beaver colony, which the man
agement hopes will work with its pro-
verbal earnestness for the edification or
visitors. In the mines and metai!urgy d.
vision New York will have an OIL well IN
operation. and those who care to may see
the manufacture Of sugar; coiors and
chewing gum from the petroleum pumped
New York's horticultural exhibit Is al
most ready. Five hundred barrels OF the
finest fruit the State produces are In cold
storage awaiting the word Whlch VIII SEND
them to the warehouses of st. Louis, there
to be kept until wanted for the exhibition
table. AS soon as strawberries come again
the prize berries of the State Will be gath
room rooms a engaged sasdiiih in St. Louis. and thence
conveyed to the exhibition space. And In
order that the exhibits of fruit may be
kept up to the mark. they will be changed
of deterioration.
OF the unromantic potato there will be
800 varieties on exhibition. and these are
already in storage In this city.
In Leroy, N. Y. there Is a man of the
name of Jones. whose hobby is the cult.
y yare g 81 of Tt tha gram AIM viii viii be al sent nt' to ST.
Louis TO make remarkable the display
from this State.
An innovation has been made by the
New York Commission in the matter of
the livestock exhibit. The commission
has agreed to transport free to st. Louis
all stock which took first prizes at the
State Fair held last September. In this
way the finest exhibit Of stock will be
obtained.
In dairy products an exceptionally large
and complete exhibit is promised and one
feature Of it will be the cheese. Fifty
per cent Of all the cheese made in this
country Is made in New York, and the
State has now gone into competition with
foreign countries in the making of
brands Of cheese peculiar to those coun-
tries.
