The Board of Managers of the State of Connecticut desiring to place every faci lity in their power in the way of exhibitors, after careful consideration of the subject and notwithstanding the small appropriation at their command, decided to devote nearly one-third of the sum to the erection and fitting up of this cottage or building-, which is especially designee\ for the use and convenience of Connecticut Exhibitors and Yisitors during the exhibition season. This was the first State building completed on the grounds; its dimensions are thirty feet front by forty feet deep, with a wing or ex tension ten feet by twelve feet, a piazza ten feet by twenty feet, and a good sized old-fashioned porch leading into the main room, which is twenty-two feet by thirty feet, with a ceiling about seventeen feet high ; three sides of this room are orna mented with a gallery. Leading from this main or reception room is a ladies' parlor and toilet room, a gentlemen's toilet room, a cloak, coat, hat and parcel room, and a private room and office for the managers and their agent. The inside wood work of this building consists chieAy of smoke-stained wood. and in the main room is a peculiar, old style fire-place and mantel. It has a shelf half a yard wide, at a height of about five feet from the Aoor, and about two feet abo\·e this first shelf is a second and narrower one, supported by two compound brackets resting on the lower one. Between the fire-place and the wood work are side pieces and a head piece of Connecticut brown stone. This stone work is surrounded by glazed Earthen Tiles which were made in New Ha,·en especially for this purpose. The middle portion of the outside of the building is co,·ered with scallop-fashioned shingles, the upper portion lathed and plastered, and the lower part weather boarded. In the reception room, a book will be kept for Con necticut people to register their names in. This building will be found a great convenience to our people-it will be a ren dezvous for social gatherings or meetings. A file of Connec ticut papers will be kept there, and a bulletin of information, where items of interest to visitors and exhibitors, will be posted; a place where parcels or articles of clothing, or purchases may be left or sent to for safe keeping ; a Post office to which cor respondence for exhibitors or visitors may be sent. In fact this cottage shall be, as far as is possible to make it a place where 1"' Connecticut people will feel at home. Tickets, entitling the holder to the priYileges of the Cottage, may be obtained from any member of the Uoard of :\Ianagers.
