HOW TO FIND EXHIBITS. The immense area occupied by the ground floor of the Agricultural Building has been laid off with a view to offering the readiest facilities to visitors to locate the exhibits. A reference to the ground floor plan will show, plainly marked, four great sections. These are lettered A, B, C and D, and that portion of the ground floor on the west side of the building is known as section E. These five great divisions contain the exhibits from the various states and territories and from some 34 foreign countries and dependencies. The state exhibits occupy nearly the whole of sections C and D on the south side while the foreign countries with a few exceptions claim the major portion of sections A and B on the north. The larger nations such as Great Britain, France, Germany and Canada make exhibits belonging exclusively to the Agricultural Department, but many of the smaller ones, among them Trinidad, the Orange Free State, Liberia, Curacao and Cuba, have in this building been granted most liberal space for the display of what is known as collective exhibits. Tolocate exhibits on the ground floor the following system has been adopted: Beginning at the center of the building in each section, each column is lettered from "A" down the alphabet, toward the outside of the building. Beginning with the outside, and gomg toward the center of the building, the columns are numbered from "1" up. The col- umns in each section are lettered and numbered separately; that is, for example, in each section column "1-A" can be found. The location of an exhibit is indicated by two letters and a figure such as E-E-10, which means that the exhibit having this location sign is installed in section E where the lines of columns E and 10 cross or in other words the exhibit can be found in section E on the west side of the building at the corner of E and 10th streets. The farming tools and machinery exhibitors, some two hundred in number, are all installed in section E. On the second or gallery floor the same system of dividing the space is carried out as that adopted on the ground floor with this exception that there are only four sections,namely: F, G, H and I. The columns are numbered and lettered on the same plan and exhibits can be most easily located by following the rule given above. The gallery space is almost wholly devoted to United States exhibits. In section H will be found displays of dairy implements, flours and meals, spices and canned goods, the honey exhibits, and bee appliances. In the southwest quarter in section I will be seen exhibits of mineral waters, liquors, cigars and tobacco. Confectionery and chocolate, condensed milk, etc., and the wool exhibit are installed in section G, while section F in the northeast quarter embraces the groups of candles, soaps, etc., phosphates and fertilizing compounds and several exhibits of canned goods, etc. THE DAIRY BUILDING. HOW TO FIND EXHIBITS. The exhibits in this building consist principally of butter and cheese exhibited collect- ively by the several states named in the accompanying diagram. On the first floor there is in front a large space devoted to the butter display made by nine states and Canada. On three sides of the operating room which extends to the roof there is a gallery where will be found all the cheese exhibits appearing in the Agricultural catalogue. In this great display some five foreign countries have participated. There are a few isolated cases of individual exhibitors in this building, but as previously stated the bulk of tbe exhibits may be said to be made virtually by the individual states and foreign countries. Both the ground floor and gallery are laid out so that the respective exhibits can be easily located according to the plan of installation shown in the diagram.
