Notes on the Fair.

w Orld's air, as already noted III
these columns.
In the fourteen-acre floor space
of the Agricultural building, is found
an abundance and variety of vege-
table products that may satisfy the
critical farmer as to quality, though
the quantity might have been great
err, to satisfy the general demand
for many repetitions of the same
thing,-as many other states show.
The dairying implements and pro-
ducts were originally planned to
occupy space elsewhere, but it
was determined at the last moment
of installation to place them in the
space accorded to the grains, miner
ais, etc., and the reasons for the
change of plan are wholly justifiable,
it is believed. The plan of display
in this department is satisfactory
and enables the state to hold its
rightful place of pre-eminence.
The line of forestry exhibits is
believed to be of The character and
quantity according to reports) that
will give our state repute,-but it
proves impracticable to view them.
The Mining building offers one
of the noted exhibits under the name
of Wisconsin, swung aloft abreast
Of other great states; and one of the
items of consuming interest is the
model of zinc mine showing the
mineral in such way that the novice
can understand just how it came in
to position and also just how the
miner must operate to get the stuff
out of its matrix in the earth. The
credit for organizing the work is
due to Prof. Hancock of the Univer-
sity, Monroe county gentleman.
The stables of the stock exhibitors
have an excellent line of Jerseys
and Holsteins that enable Wisconsin
to hold her high position in an act
ual milking test now in progress.
Some $4,000 is the mild value
placed upon one Wisconsin Jersey.
During some weeks the "milk test"
has been running and Wisconsin
will be found in the front ranks
when the November results shall be
made known.
In the Varied Industry building
appears the Parker Pen Co. of
GAINESVILLE, where four or more oper-
atives are finishing the goods of
that eminent house.
In the Liberal Arts building the
Gugler Lithographing Co. of Mil
waukee makes a showing in that
fine grade of work that arrests much
attention.
In the Palace of Electricity the
Northern Electric Co. of Madison
show large line of industrial ma
chimes operated by electricity, and
the excellence of the goods arrests
much attention. The National
Electric Co. of Milwaukee, manu-
facturers of the largest line of air
breaks for cars, of all descriptions,
in the world, shows an automatic
brake in constant operation, that
makes thousands of visitors feel
safe in riding in cars fitted with
their admirable instruments.
The Brewing School of Hantke
of Milwaukee occupies prominent
place in the Palace OF Education
and shows remarkable statistics con-
corning the corn crop of the country
In this palace is creditable exhibit
of patent 'black-boards made by
Joseph Reek of Neenah.
A measure Of bright mild days
has brought an increase of attend
ance at the Fair, officers are more
efficient in aiding exhibitors and
visitors to the points of business and
of interest. The great body Of
material is now in position and the
splendor of outdoor sights are en-.
HANGED by daily programs that are
of highest interest to all people. Nc
person who would see the best that
all peoples of the earth have pro-
duced, should fail to visit St. Loui:
during the season.
