I At the section set apart for the ex 1 dibits from the state of UtnJi is a ! display of trophies won by that state, 1 which is dazzling. Ten large cups 1 arc shown, giving an impressive idea of the possibilities of the state. The largest known as the Hearst trophy, was won by the state exhibit at Albu querque. It is about four feet high, made of pounded silver, weighs twenty-five pounds, and is veJucd at $3, 000. The cup is filled with Richmond rpses, which blend prettily with the color scheme of green and red which is carried out in the Utah exhibit. One but little smaller and quite as beautiful in design, was awarded" to the state at Sacramento, Cal., at the irrigation congress held there in 1007. It was won- by Utah for ex cellence of fruits nnd irrigated pro f" ducts. Utah also won at Sacramento t a plate and cup given by Harrison L Grey Otis for tlw best display of wine grapes. A gorgeously decorat ed cup, known as the sugar 'beet cup, 1 was won by th state oxhibrt five years ago, lost the succeeding your, won again in 1908 and will now remain in Utah. The cup was given by H. O. Havemeycr on behalf of the Amcr I ican Sugar Refining Company as an award for the best display of sugar beets. A massive silver affair adorned ( with clusters of grapes was won by the best exhibit of canned' fruits from I; a single cannery. i The Anhcuser Busch trophy was I h warded for the best brewing barley. For the best display of products from 1 a single farm irrigated by a pump the huge cup presented by the Josh ua Handy Machine Works of San Francisco was won by V. 0. Knud jon of Brigham City. " Valued at $10,000. The display of trophies is valued at about $10,000 and occupies a promin ent placa in the Utah "exhibit, which is in charge of J. Edward Taylor, sec retary of the state board of horticul ture; Prof. E. G. Titus, entomologist from the agricultural experiment sta tion, and Robert S. Northrop, horti culturist from the experiment station. 1 1 Tine Utah display is fenced in with massive green pillars connected by gilt chains, with red and green elec tric globes on each post. A large case of Utah honey is artistically arranged, combs of honey being stacked along tbtf "sides of the tall case to give ef fect of a border, while in glasses and jars the strained honey is shown. The different varieties of nuts raised in Utah arc arranged in glass jars and bottles and cases of dried and cvaj:oratd fruits arc shown in large numbers. Owing to the short time in which the exhibit was gotten to gether, Mr. Northrop stated that the display of apples was limited, only ten varieties out of the many grown there being shown here. Bonners and Hags showing the beehive and done in purple and gold add to the effect of the decorations. Here a register is kept and all visitors to this apart ment are requested to enter their names. Salt Lake Seconds. J. Edward Taylor, member of the Utah State Board of Horticulture. Salt Lake City, made a short address, in ' which he said that he had had charge of the Utah ex hibit at national conventions, of vari ous kinds for several years and that with the exhibit he had won trophies to the amount of over $io,ooo' but that he had never been treated ibettcr, nor seen cleaner, better managed ex positions in all that he had attended. "You should be proud of what you have done here,' said Mr. Taylor. "You have accomplished -m great good and you have been fair with every one. I hear good will for Council 15 luffs on every hand among the visi tors and I want to sec you have the next meeting here." DAILY NONPARIEL. o ...... OUR HORTICULTURAL EXHIB IT AT NEBRASKA. Mr. D. E. Burley, General Passenger Agent of the Short Line is in receipt of a personal letter from a friend in Omaha from which we have been permitted to make extracts. Omaha, Nebraska, Dec. 16, '08. Knowing of your kindness to the Utah exhibitors at the National Hor ticultural. Congress, I thought that you would be interested to know what has been accomplished by them at tbe National Horticultural Cong ress. 1 attach clippings from the Council Bluffs Nonpariel which more ably de scribe their exhibit than 1 could. However, I have made two visits to the Congress, which is housel in a beautiful new Auditorium and the at Undance is very large. Idaho is very afcly represented and their display of fruits arc among the best at the Congress. The state of Utah is certainly well represented. Thoir display is very artistically got ten up, and the genial young men in charge of the same are making friends with everyone. On the whole I think tlml a great good will come out of exhibits from all the western states, and is creating a good deal of interest among visit ors at both the National Corn Ex position in Omaha and the National Horticultural Congress in Council Bluffs.
