118 feOARD OF AGKICULTURE. 



This would require that other space be used for some of the machinery 

 and buggy exhibits, but would help the appearance of the buildings and 

 lessen the danger from various sources. 



Respectfully submitted, 



H. L. NOWLIN, 

 Superintendent of Privileges. 



REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF ART HALL. 



Mr. President and Members of the Delegate Board: 



As Superintendent of the Art Hall, I began soon after my appoint- 

 ment to see what changes could be made to advantage. 



In the Art Hall we changed the booths on the north side, making 

 theiji largei', and by some papering, more attractive, at the same time 

 giving more space for sale by the Supei-intendent of Privileges. 



In revising the premium list we changed several prize numbers by 

 cutting out and adding a few. Among some that were added was in the 

 China Department, both in amateur and professionals. 



"Painting on China Under Instruction" which saved quite a little 

 worry reported in this department by Superintendents. 



While pei-haps there were not as many exhibitors as at some fairs 

 past, the quality was above the average. 



I believe members of the future fairs should look forward to a build- 

 ing of more modern arrangements to display the exhibitors' goods. As 

 much as possililo goods should be placed in cases for the different ex- 

 hibits, better protecting them from being lost and the suffocating dust 

 that naturally arises from large crowds. 



In the Painting and Drawing the work was very creditable, but thei 

 light is so bad there could not be justice done to all exhi1)itors.
