and grace. Those who had knives
Jared pretty well, for they cut the
halves into new moon sections and
eat their way from horn to horn OF
the crescent. Others guawed into
the halves as if they were oranges
eating thereby some Colorado soil
and turning the rinds wrong side
out to lose 10 luscious bite, while
the juice ran down to their elbows,
whole faces disappeared behind
masks of green and appeared again
dripping with melon juice from
eve brow to chin. Men with whisk-
ers seem to be trying new hair
restorative, and men without them
seemed to be taking "a cold-cream
course. Ladies to be trying new
process for removing tan and
freckles, and children rs though
fresh from the wash bowl search
ing for a fowl. Everybody said
the melons were certainly the very
best they had ever eaten, aud tried
another and another to see II they
were all equally good. II was
reprettable fact that the salt ex-
hibltors did not think to furnish
scores of little wooden dishes OF
their inexpensive condiment, their
contribution would have been
thankfully received, and they could
have doomed their brand OF that
useful article as having given es-
pecial flavor to those never to be
forgotten delicious melons given
away on Colorado day. Colorado
has no state building, preferripg to
expeud all her money on develop
ing her resources aud exhibiting
them. Kentucky extended her hos
pitality tn Colorado, by offering her
beautiful building for their use at
any time aud their charming recep-
ton was held there. They have a
very 6ne collection of II great va
riety Of things, gold, silver, iron,
lead, copper, coal, u great variety
of gems, cereals aud fruits, build
ing stone aud marble, aud rare
specimens Of onyx, furs, both upon
the animal aud dressed for use,
fishes and birds. One could spend
) many days in the Colorado exhibits
alone with profit. One of our party
having mined in the Centennial
State many years was claimed AT
once as a Colorado man and q
badge pinned on him which be
wore proudly with his Louisiana
pin. This great Fair is like the
gathering together of all the King
doms of the earth. 1t is equal to
