California was represented by one case containing comb and extracted 
honey, the exhibit, owiug to difficulty in securing appropriations, being 
neither as large nor as good as might have been expected from such a 
honey-producing State, where some of the most skillful specialists are 
located. 
Iowa had one case containing in the center a pyramid built up of 
pound sections filled with comb honey and two smaller pyramids of jars 
of extracted honey. The word " Iowa " in capital letters worked out 
in comb honey by bees appeared in front. E. Kretchmer had well-made 
hives and implements on exhibition. 
Illinois. — This exhibit filled four large cases, one case containing 
2,200 pounds of comb honey in sections built up to represent a castle; a 
second was filled with a competitive display of comb honey, on the front 
in letters of comb honey the motto: " In God we Trust," and the name 
" A. Coppin, Wenona, 111.," whose bees worked the letters. The show 
of extracted honey filling one case was excellent, while the wax which 
occupied the fourth case was of fine quality and skillfully wrought. 
Most of it was contributed by Ch. Dadant & Son. The same firm 
exhibited their fine comb foundation. The Porter bee-escape was also 
shown. 
Indiana had in a single case a creditable exhibit, including comb 
and extracted honey, wax, and a drink prepared from honey. A. G-. 
Hill had quite a collection of apiarian implements, hives, etc. 
Minnesota. — Although this State produces as fine honey as any in 
the Union and has able bee-keepers, the exhibit, like those of several 
other States, was not a fair index of this. It consisted of comb and 
extracted honey in one case , 
Michigan. — A single case contained as fine extracted honey as was 
to be seen on the grounds, and some of the comb honey was slightly 
excelled, if at all. Wax and foundation of good quality were shown. 
Bingham smokers and knives were included in the exhibit. 
Nebraska. — Comb and extracted honey, wax flowers and figures very 
skillfully wrought, and the largest collection of mounted honey plants 
shown occupied the Nebraska case, while back of it were several 
nuclei with Italian bees in them. 
New York had a large and very fine exhibit of comb and extracted 
honey, quite a number of apiarian supplies, and several colonies of 
bees. The latter stored some 40 pounds of comb honey per hive while 
on the grounds. The supplies, excellent in quality, were sent by W. 
T. Falconer, J. VanDeusen & Sons, and M. E. Hastings. 
Ohio. — The comb and extracted honey from this State was of fine 
appearance, also wax of very fine quality was shown. The largest 
display of implements, hives, etc., on the grounds was that made by 
A. I. Boot. 
Wisconsin. — The exhibit of comb and extracted honey from Wiscon- 
sin was not large nor particularly fine, but showed to the best ad van-
