REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES. 23 
LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 
The exhibit of the Bureau at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition 
was duly assembled and installed under the direction of Mr. W. de C. 
Ravenel, representative on the government board, and was fully com- 
pleted when the exposition was formally opened on April 30, 1904. 
Although Mr. Ravenel had not been connected with the Bureau since 
February, 1902, he was, with the approval of the Secretary, asked to 
continue as representative until the close of the exposition, in view of 
his efficient services and his familiarity with exposition methods. 
The Bureau’s exhibit occupies.a separate building, adjacent to the 
main government building, and is a more complete and attractive dis- 
play of the kind than has heretofore been made. The aquarium, which 
is particularly complete in equipment and pleasing in design, has 
proved one of the leading features of the exposition.
