notification from the Governor of this fact, the board appointed Mr. 

 Howard J. Eogers, of Albany, who had been in charge of the State 

 educational exhibit, to write the report and prepare it for publication. 

 At a subsequent meeting of the Board of General Managers the follow- 

 ing resolution was passed : 



WoveJ, " that the board express to Mr. Foord their appreciation of his 

 labors with them, and their regret at the severance of relations which 

 have been so satisfactory." 



It was determined that the report should contain a concise yet com- 

 prehensive presentation of the work of the commission from the begin- 

 ning to the end, that it might give not only an accurate history of New 

 York's part in the great fair, but serve as a guide for future enterprises 

 of a similar character. To this end there have been added to the main 

 report detailed reports from the head of each departmental exhibit, 

 giving the scope and plan of their display. These reports are supple- 

 mented by a complete catalogue of New York exhibits in that depart- 

 ment including those made individually and not under the authority of 

 the board. 



The third section of the report is devoted to the publication of the 

 awards granted New York exhibitors. 



Upon the transmission of the report by the Governor to the Assembly 

 on April 18, 1894, the latter body ordered an edition of 10,000 copies 

 printed, under a resolution of which the following is an official copy :
