368 WISCONSIN STATE AGRIGULTUIIAL SOCIETY. 
exhibited by any other state. The designs of the articles pre¬ 
sented by our noble women were elegant, and the execution was 
worthy of the designs. The arrangements of the several exhibits 
in the various cases in the pavillion indicated very superior skill and 
taste; and the women of Wisconsin are to be congratulated upon 
their complete success. The Memorial Shrine, the Beloit College 
Medallion, the Art Easel, the Cabinet, the Illustrated Poem, the 
Dante Album, and numerous paintings and elaborate pieces of 
needle work, presented by the women of this state to the Centen¬ 
nial Exhibition, will long be remembered with pleasure by all who 
visited the Women’s Pavillion. These articles were extremely at¬ 
tractive, and reflected the highest credit upon those who were in¬ 
strumental in their preparation. 
A GRAND SUCCESS. 
A general idea of the part taken by Wisconsin in the great In¬ 
ternational Exhibition is thus imperfectly sketched. Nothing like 
justice could be done in an article suited to the limits allotted to 
this service in this volume. As a whole, the Centennial Exhibition 
was a grand success. It was in commemoration of the grandest 
event known in history; and, as an exhibition, was the most mag¬ 
nificent in all respects that has ever taken place in the world.
