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, 

 vvas 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 agreem.ent with the New Jersey State Com- 

 missioners, and wanted to have the exhibit in an oiit-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 :
