which contains over 2,300 pounds of comb 

 honey, with a placard in front stating these 

 facts. There is sufficient dark honey in 

 sections on the sides so that by their ar- 

 rangement spells the worj. "ILLINOIS." 

 A placard is posted in two different places 

 worded thus : ' " Read name in dark honey. ' ' 

 This castle was designed by Bro. Ham- 

 baugh, with the exception of the lettering 

 on the sides which was put in by the sug- 

 gestion of Bro. Stone. This piece of ' work 

 nearly fills the entire case, which is about 



little honey-bee, under the guidance of Mr. 

 Aaron Coppen, of Wenona, Ills. It is the 

 familiar inscription found on our coins — 

 "In God We Trust." Mr. Coppen also 

 sends his autograph, put up in the same 

 way, viz: " A. Coppen, Wenona, Ills. ;" but 

 Mr. Coppen failed to send an exhibit of 

 honey, owing to the prevalence of honey- 

 dew in his locality, and he apologizes for

 is 15 feet in length, and filled to the top in 

 Cantastic shajjos. A placard on the sides 

 reads thus: " All Illinois honey, this year's

 the case, that was made by the ingenious 



No. 3. — This case is called the ■• Puzzle 

 Case," and is composed entirely of ex- 

 tracted honey put up in a multitude of 

 forms, mounted in pyramid shape, and, to 

 all appearances, counter i)j'rauiid form. It 

 is a puzzler to the unsuspecting gazer. In 

 this case will be seen the ingenious device 

 worked out by the bees according to Bro. 

 Poindexter's idea, entitled "Sweet Home." 

 This is a complete cabin of honey, includ- 

 ing door, window, old-fashioned chimney,
