THE NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM AT THE WORLDS FAIR, ST. LOUIS. 
Taken from the “New York Herald,” Sunday, June 5th, 1904. 
This is the first time the New Jersey State Museum has ever had a fish and 
game exhibit. Some of its features are the manner of presenting birds in 
groups consisting of male and female, the nests and eggs, and in some casbs 
the young with the environments of the birds. No other exhibit at the World’s 
Fair has done this. This method is pronounced the best that has ever been 
shown at a world’s fair. The fish specimens are so well mounted that they 
seem real. The quadrupeds are also in groups, showing in some cases the male.
