| Bad Shape.


Bad Shape.
While the papers, Throughout the
State have been devoting considerable
space to the Nevada Exhibit at st.
Louis and the shortness Of funds. to-
gether with the general result, it would
be well to look to the business from
those who have been on the scene of
action
JAS Torreyson, of this city, who has
lately returned from the Exposition.
put in number of days at the build
ing He had talkwith C Commissioner
Yeringtcn and they both come to the
conclusion that the State as a party,
could not come to the rescue finan-
cially. .....
Mr. Torreyson was exceedingly we'll
pleased with the mineral display in the
Hall of Metallurgy. 1t is well class
flied and in good order. and has ~
tracted a good deal of attention. Mr..
Prudential is there nearly all the
time. and is always willing to explain
the exhibit and has done so the entire
time he has been on the ground. Mrs.
Prudential is the hostess at the New
ada Building and many a Nevadan
has put in a pleasant time at that
place. Mr.. Torreyson is Of the opinion
that the Mineral exhibit and the hos
pitality at the Nevada building is all
/ that can be asked AS for the ex-
penditures and the debts he is nol-
committal
The Agricultural exhibit he has little
to say regarding. He openly states
that it was a great disappointment &c,
him. and that it was not in the con
dition that Nevadan would natural, "
on all sides are making the best show
ing that it is possible for a State TO
put forward
MIR. P. V. Mighels. who came from
the Fair few days ago, has the same
remarks to make. He states that tn
mineral exhibit is excellent. and while
the minerals are not given the prom
inence that a citizen Of the State de
sires. yet as T!Cie it iswell worth
Hooking at and has attracted a great
deal Of attention.
On the other hand the agricultural
exhibit is disgrace. The show is old
needs new material and is far from
a credit to the State of the CCmmis
sion in charge.
TIE two gentlemen are not alone n

that the agricultural end is a sham
and that the sooner Hardin shuts u
