NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM AT THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 
We feel proud of the part New Jersey took at the Pan-Ameri¬ 
can Exposition, and feel that much credit is due to the part the 
Museum took in aiding these exhibits. It is known that in the 
Museum was placed nearly all of the material from the several 
New Jersey State Exhibits at the World’s Fair at Chicago in 
1893, including all of the educational exhibit which received the 
highest award, the geological and agricultural exhibits, a large 
collection of photographs of different places in New Jersey, and 
the exhibits of the Women’s Department and the Board of 
Health. 
When the request was made by the Governor and the Pan- 
American State Commission that an exhibit be made at Buffalo, 
the date was so late (March, 1901), that it would have been 
almost impossible to comply with the request, if the State 
Museum had not preserved nearly all of these exhibits, cases, 
cabinets, glass jars, photographs, &c., which were at Chicago. 
It may be well to state here that the manner of presenting the 
educational exhibits at Chicago by the Department of Public In¬ 
struction, and which was originated by it, has been adopted by all 
the expositions held since 1893, not only in this country but in 
Europe. So New Jersey has received in quite large degree the 
compliment of imitation. 
In making the geological exhibit at Buffalo, the State Geolo¬ 
gist was prepared to make a first-class exhibit at short notice, for 
which a gold and a silver medal were awarded to that Depart¬ 
ment. The Agricultural Department was also able to do the 
same, as the Museum furnished show-cases, glass jars, collections 
of corn, seeds, &c., large photographs, stereoscope with 100 farm 
views, collection of oysters and a fine collection of insects in¬ 
jurious to vegetation. For the New Jersey cottage it furnished 
some fine large New Jersey pictures; also the forestry exhibit,
