Arizona republican., 1905-12-28

lOI lIltlT ulSpldy. l lie IlldhtI Ol lllt cake is not an amateur exhibitor by any means for she has taken gold and silver medals wherever her work has appeared. There is also a nice display of preserves and canned fruits, making division of the building that is al- together interesting.
 Next to this booth is a wall covered with a fine display of photographic work, the single exhibitor of profess sional photography being F. A. Hart we'll of this city. Among his exhibits are specimens of photographing on DOT celain, the first work of this kind done in Arizona.
 Next to this booth is the Indian school exhibit which was briefly men toned once before. A feature of the exhibit that has not been spoken of be- fore is the fact that dozen or so In- dian girls are constantly employed in needlework and in a culinary depart ment adjoining, showing by actual it. lustration the manner in which their exhibits are made.
 TEXTILE FABRICS. Tn the division of textile fabrics, pre- sided over by Mrs. Isaac T. Stoddard, it is altogether too dangerous to at | tempt any pretense of a thorough de- scription. This is the greatest aggre- gatiOn of real finery on the grounds, and probably there are more entries than in any other division, not except ing the educational display A long row of show cases forms barrier be- tween the aisle and the display space so most of the articles are necessarily seen from distance. The show cases are so filled that one never sees the same thing twice without a search for it. though everything is tastefully ar ranged. There is no disorder, merely a multiplicity of things to look at. The biggest and best display of lace is made by Mrs Thomas of Florence, the dis play including Flemish, Guipure, Bat
 tenberg, HOniton, Point and seven other kinds.
 In silk embroidery there could not
 be a better display anywhere. A spe- cially fine exhibit is that of Mrs. Wm Mayors. There are knitted and cro- cheted quilts in profusion, a large lunch cloth of handkerchief linen drawn work, old fashioned cross stitch ed embroidery, a doll from Prescott that was dressed by a twelve year old girl and hundreds of things that can- not even be enumerated. One item
  play of sofa pillows that make one drOwsy to look at. Many of these ex- hibits were sent in from the mountain country and the far away places by women who seldom get to town but who wanted to do their part in making the fair a grand success. And they are all entitled to thanks and Congratula- tiOns, whether they get an award or not.
 Too much cannot be said of the wo- mems department from it's head to the most subordinate place and of all the departments that of Mrs. Stoddard's
 both by reason of the attractive nature
 of the exhibits and their volume, as
 well as by their careful display is the
 first one to attract the attention Ol

 ing in this division began yesterday.
 CURIOS.
 Tn the curio division, which for want
 of space, was amalgamated with the
 other divisions of the woman's depart
 ment, there are many things 9 inter-
 est. One is an autograph letter writ
 ten from Mount Vernon in 1797 by
 George Washington, to an ancestor ol
 w. Y. Rumney, by whom it is eXhi-
 bited, neatly framed and in one of the
 SHOW cases. AIOtneT line CuflO IS d1

 a novel display also in the little set ot
 toy chairs, made in the time of Louis XVI. of France and which have been in
 the family of the owner for sixty years 1 There are various other exhibits both
 antique and modern in this department that attract attention.
 THE APlARY.
 | The exhibits in the apiary depart
 ment, under William Tossing, are cer-
 tainly fine. The department is along
 side that of the agricultural display
 and there are not a great many ex- hibitors but each one has fine lot of goods. And the display is complete There are little hives with glass sides,
 full of bees, but they are locked in and can't get out. There is honey in
 comb, in glass jars and in five gallon cans and some big beeswaX "cheeses, " together with practically everything
 that pertains to the apiary. The judg-
 ing in this department was done yes terday.
