 chairman and vice 

 chairman o( each 

 of thegroupjuries. 

 Altogether, Jury 

 No. II had more 

 than 400 exhibits 

 to pass upon. 



It is not in order 

 for a juror to talk 

 much about jury 

 experiences, un- 

 usual though they 

 be and full of in- 

 terest. One might 

 perhaps dwell a 

 moment on the 

 banquets and re- 

 ceptions, and of 

 these there are two that will ever live in the writer's memory. 

 The two menus here appended tell the story in part. At the 

 first, in the magnificent German Imperial Pavilion, there were 

 gathered some 250 guests, and among the speakers were the
