446 New Yoek at the "World's Columbian Exposition. 



detached hospital building of the Utica State Hospital ; a model of the 

 hospital building of the State Custodial Asylum for Feeble-mmded 

 Young "Women at Newark, with numerous photographic views of the 

 institution ; a large collection of technological work, by the State 

 Industrial School at Eochester ; and pliotographic views of the build- 

 ings, plans, etc., of the Buffalo State Hospital at Buffalo, and the St. 

 Lawrence State Hospital at Ogdensburg. The institutions for feeble- 

 minded children, for the blind and the deaf, made their exhibits through 

 their respective national associations for these classes; and, besides 

 those above enumerated, numerous other charitable, correctional and 

 reformatory institutions, societies and associations of the State prepared 

 and forwarded exhibits, through various channels, and were given space 

 at the exposition under the classification to which they respectively 

 belonged. 



" It will thus be seen that this State contributed largely to the penal, 

 charitable, correctional and reformatory exhibit at the exposition, and 

 it is believed that its display in this direction, both in the extent and 

 variety of its subjects and the comprehensive and artistic manner in 

 which they were presented, compared favorably with such exhibits by 

 other States and countries, reflecting credit alike upon the State and 

 its institutions. In an address upon the grounds of the exposition upon 

 the occasion of ' New York Day,' his excellency, Governor Flower, 

 referring to the various classes of exhibits by this State, spoke of its 

 charitable exhibit as follows : 



" ' The great M'ork which New York State and its civil subdivisions 

 do for the relief of pauperism, for the care of the insane and the edu- 

 cation of the defective classes, has been demonstrated at this exhibition 

 as it has never been before. The whole range of activity of the char- 

 itable, correctional and reformatory institutions of the State has been 

 shown in a way which makes the subject clearer than volumes of 

 reports would do. It is the boast of our christian civilization that it 

 cares for those whom pagan civilization neglected. The private and 

 public beneficence of New York transcends all limitations of sect or 

 creed, and its graphic delineation here may well challenge the attention 

 of the world.' 



" These and other exhibits, the property of the State, have been 

 returned to Albany, and are waiting legislative action for their proper 

 care and proposed permanent exposition."
