The exhibit so far exceeded the an
ticipatiOns of the fair authorities that
it is crowded for room. In the fancy
work and art department one layer
of beautiful handmade pieces is piled
no little difficulty in accomplishing
upon another and the judges will have
their work. Almost 500 articles of
every variety are included in this eX-
hibit.
The entries provided for in the fair
book We're inadequate TO cover the
varieties of articles entered and the
registration clerks were called upon
in several cases, to invent classes and
name special exhibits into which the
articles could be classified.
To be Better Prepared.
In another year." said Mrs. II. G..
Stansbury, the efficient chief registra-
ton clerk, Il think we shall be a gerat
deal better prepared to handle the
women's work. We were greatly han
dicapped this year by having no idea
of the way in which the women would
respond. Mr.. Daley himself said a
few days before the opening Of the
fair that he thought our fancy work
display would be limited to something
like half a dozen pieces, whereas it
has far exceeded the room allotted to
it."
The juvenile display occupies one
table to itself one little doll dressed
in her Sundays best sits proudly in a
little white chair while in neat piles
at her feet is lying her stiffly starched
wardrobe. one boy is exhibiting some
beautifully done scroll work. another
wagon and another a burnt wood
table. One 12-year-old girl has en-
tered an eXquisitely done Hardanger
