THE EXHIBITS

The following list of exhibits is
continued from yesterday:
Some of the finest specimens of
homemade vinegar to be imagined are
displayed in quart bottles; they are
made of cane and other Marion county
products and the flavor cannot be sur
passed by any.
Pecans, black walnuts, soap berries
and other nuts on display show what
can be produced in this line.
A display of crushed flint for road
purposes is exhibited by the A. T.
Thomas Co. It varies from the fine
sand to rocks the size of an egg. This
is a part of the Marion county pro-
duct that has made US headquarters
in the state for building materials,
such as sand, rock, lime, etc.
Shady community has a pretty dis
play of field and garden products,
such as okra, sweet potatoes, turnips,
cane, corn, tobacco, peppers, pump
kins, peanuts and various kinds of
baled hay. AS a community exhibit
this seems to be the best, though sew
eral individual exhibits are larger.
The Meffert farm at Lowell has a
large exhibit of the various products
made there, of which we shall have
more to say later.
There is an exhibit of new variety
of vegetable, the choyote, which is
shown canned, picked, preserved,
boiled and lastly made up in a pie
It seems to be available for preserv-
ing in almost any shape. No name
appears on the exhibit and we did not
learn who made it.
In the north annex of the agricul-
tural building is the exhibit of the
corn club, both mems and boys. This
department up to ten o'clock had over
$50 entries, over half of which was
from the corn club boys. Each en-
try consists of ten ears, instead of a
large quantity as heretofore, making
it very much more convenient for the
judges in their work of awarding pre-
miums and a great deal less trouble
and expense in getting the display
to the grounds. The display will con.
vince the most skeptical of our abili-
ty to take care of ourselves in this
line under any circumstances.
The north portion of the annex is
devoted to the floral exhibits of which
there are quite a number of entries
The poultry exhibit was not nearly
all arranged yesterday, tho Mr.. Ed
Bennett and his assistants were busy
as bees unpacking the thoroughbreds
from their shipping crates and get
ting them arranged in the proper
booths. There had at that time beer
over sixty entries, which Mr.. Bennett
Figured meant something over si1
| hundred fowls. Besides every breed
and variety of domestic fowls, there
are in this department number o.
pets, such as peacocks, guinea pigs
dogs, Maltese cats, etc.
The industrial building is occupied
by the following exhibitors: H. B
Masters Department Store, Cheek
Neal Coffee Company, Florida Citrui
Exchange, Davies "The Tire Man
Ocala Iron Works, o. K. Grocery
Florida Soft Phosphate and Lime Co.
and the REQ Auto Agency. All tn,
booths are nicely decorated and s,
arranged as to bring out the partic
ular products for which they stand
and each is in charge of attendants t
explain their merits.
] West of the industrial building is
large display of agricultural imple
ments from the Knight & Lang es
tablishment.
