J.; A. B. Leach, South Orange, N. J.; Dr. E. L. Stevenson, New 
Brunswick, N. J.; Dr. Thomas K. Reed, Atlantic City, N. J. 
The Commission met and elected the following officers: Chief 
Commissioner, Clarence E.. Breckenridge; Wallace M. Scudder, 
Vice-President ; Col. Lewis T. Bryant, Secretary, Atlantic City, 
N. J. 
The Commissioners left the matter of the Exhibit to the Sec- 
retary, Col. Lewis T. Bryant, except the Historical and Good 
Roads Exhibit, which they voted to have represented at the Ex- 
position. 
Mr. Francis B. Lee, State Historian, was selected to prepare 
the Historical Exhibit, and Road Commissioner Hutchinson was 
asked to prepare the Good Roads Exhibit. Col. Bryant asked 
Mr. Henry B. Kiimmel, State Geologist, to prepare the Geological 
Exhibit, and Mr. Silas R. Morse, Curator of the State Museum, 
was asked to prepare the Educational Exhibit and Social Econ- 
omy Exhibit. 
Mr. Lee collected and installed the Historical Exhibit, which 
was a very interesting one, and was not only a credit to the State 
but to himself. 
The Good Roads Exhibit was intended to be quite an extensive 
one, but after Mr. Hutchinson and the Secretary visited the Ex- 
position grounds and found that the Exposition managers would 
not stand by their agreement with the New Jersey State Com- 
missioners, and wanted to have the exhibit in an out-of-the-way 
place, it was decided not to build a sample road or building, but 
to make a small exhibit in the New Jersey Social Economy Ex- 
hibit. This was done. It consisted of illustrations showing 
roads before the State rebuilt them, and others after the good 
roads had been built. Also maps showing all of the roads made 
by the State up to that time, and samples of materials used in 
making roads, with reports and information prepared by the 
Road Commission. ‘These maps, information and reports were 
distributed to those interested in good roads. For this exhibit a 
gold medal was awarded. 
The following departments of the State Museum were repre- 
sented and the exhibits prepared by the Curator, S. R. Morse:
