The following clipped from an article 

 in the Buffalo Courier, of Jan. 81, may 

 prove of interest to the readers of the 

 Oologlst: 



"Secretary (icorge T. Smitli of the 

 World's Fair Commission of this, the 

 Eighth Judicial District, concurred in 

 saying that it is most dillieult to secure 

 space for e.\hil)its. As far as New Yoi'k 

 State, is concerned, Mr. Smith says, the 

 Fair is a success, and though tin; space 

 for exhil)its is far short of the demand, 

 the room allotted thus far to th s district 

 insures a good showing. Mr. Smith 

 gave to the Courier some of the more 

 important exhii)its that probal)ly will 

 goto tiie World's Fair from Western 

 New York. 



One of the largest local exhibits, and 

 one that it woulil be hard to duplicate 

 outside of the Smith.sonian Insliliilion, 

 will Ije made by Frank H. Lattin of Al- 

 bion. Mr. Latti : is a naturalist in 

 everytliing that the word implies, and 

 hiscollection of ornithological specimens 

 are world-famed.. He ijropo.scs to take 

 to Chicago an ext.Misivc! collcctioi of 

 birds eggs, sea sludls, stnlVcd aniiuais, 

 and natuaiists and taxidermists' siip- 

 plie.s. Space; has l;een given to him to 

 the extent thai he will be al)Ie to exhi- 

 bit a pair of l)irdsof every species known 

 to North America and show I heir man- 

 ner of iicsliDtr, whether on tree. bush, 

 ground, clitV, bench, or marsh. This in 

 some ways will lie ihe nu)st interesting 

 as well as valuable exhibit cdiuing from 

 the liulV.iIo district." 



We will hasten to plead "not guiltj'" 

 to all that is said or implied in the above 

 interview and at thl.s date, (Feb. 24th,)
