There were about two hundred exhibitors in all (a part of the papers 

 were lost, and the exact figures are not known). 



Among those who deserve special mention as making large and ex- 

 cellent displays, are Thos. T. Newby, of Carthage; Jas. M. Zlon, of Clarks 

 Hill, and' Joe A. Burton, of Mitchell, who each were awarded a gold medal 

 for their displays. (For others who made fine displays and carried off 

 honors, see the list of awards hereunto appended.) 



There were used and put on the tables, altogether, about fifteen thou- 

 sand (15,000) plates of fruit, nuts, etc., and about 90O bushels were used 

 for this purpose. On an average, a plate of fruit remained on the tables 

 about ten days or two weeks, then was replaced with fresh specimens. 



Indiana, seemingly, had more visitors in Horticultural Hall than any 

 other state, and although not keeping a registry book all the time, over 

 seven thousand Hoosier visitors wrote their names in our book. All were 

 made welcome and seemed to enjoy the hospitality. Indiana's sons and 

 daughters, especially, were pleased to find their native state so nicely 

 and cosily fixed for the home people to rest. 



Of the amount ($5,000) set apart for this display the committee turned 

 back an unexpended balance of one thousand dollars* ($1,000). 



The members of the State Horticultural Society deserve the thanks of 

 the State for the honors won by Indiana's horticultural display, as nearly 

 all the exhibitors were members of this society, and the managers and 

 attendants were also members and oflicers. 



In all, there were one hundred and twenty-three medals awarded to 

 this display— four gold, twenty-eight silver and ninety-two bronze medals, 

 as follows:
