Many ohioans Visit Exposition.

Columbus Sherman A. Cuneo, SEQ
retary of the Ohio exposition commits.
sion, while here to see about the dis
POSITION of the exposition property, re-
ported there have been more visitors
at the exposition from Ohio than from
any other eastern or middle state. At
the Ohio building fully $4,000 have
registered to date, and this does not
represent one-third of the Ohio visit
ors, as only small per cent register
At the Ohio agricultural booth the
same register is used as at the Buffalo,
jamestown and St. Louis expositions,
and already $4,000 names have been re-
corded, more than at any of the expo
sitions One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the Ohio building has been
the reading room, where newspapers
from nearly every town in the state
are received daily and placed on file in
q convenient manner. No other build
ing receives fourth as many home
newspapers, and this feature has made
a decided hit. Another feature winning
praise has been the Eystem of regis
trations, whereby visitors can readily
find the names of all those who have
registered from Ohio and from their
respective home localities Mr. Cuneo
says that the Ohio apple display,
which has just been installed, is by
far the most complete display of ap-
pies at the exposition and is making q
wonderful impression as to Ohio being
a great apple state.
