'If any merit lies In punctuality,
completeness and tasteful installation,
then the citizens of Colorado may rest
well satisfied with their exhibition at
She Worlds Fair said Thomas J.,
O'Donnell of the Worlds Fair beard
on his return home to Denver from
st Louis. In point of effect and at.
tractiveness Colurado's educational.
agricultural. game mining and horu-
cultural exhibits will scarcely be sur
passed by those OF any other state in
the Union. The agricultural and edu-
catlonal exhibits are both very nearly
complete. and are excellent in every
respect. The mining exhibit promises
exceedingly well, but II Is not as far
advanced as the others. Much may be
expected Of the horticultural display,
especially when the season of the ber-
Iies, peaches. melons and similar
products approaches. All our exhibits
have been awarded splendid locations"
