| 150Reviewed by the Infanta.
This queer-looking procession marched
up past the lagoons to the administration
building, where the Spanish infanta was
looking out in the court of honor, and
passed in review before her. She waved her
hand gracefully to them, and the redmen,
conscious that some great favor was being
shown them though not knowing exactly
what is was, cheered vigorously in their
peculiar way in return. From the administration
building the procession moved
over to the agricultural and there dispersed,
many of the party going inside to
see Nebraska's fine display of the state's
principal products.
Nebraska's building is one of the unpretentious
ones at the fair. The idea has
been to provide a place where residents and
the state can drop in to eat their lunches
and be at home. The style of the building
is colonial. The architect is Henry Voss,
of Omaha, and the structure cost $15,000.
State Building Pleasantly Situated.
It is surrounded by trees and shady
lawns and as comfortably situated as any
state house in the park. Inside the walls
are decorated with grains that are grown
in the state, woven into pretty designs.
In the center of the lower floor is an exhibit
of beet sugar, the production of which
is a source of great pride to Nebraskans.
On the upper floor there is an assembly
hall, part of which is curtained off, ordinarily,
as a lunch-room. From the platform in
the hall Mrs. Caroline W. Brooks, "the
greatest butter artist of the world," gave
an exhibition of her skill as a butter sculptress
after the exercises to-day. She
formed the arms and seal of the state and
other figures in butter of her own make.
About the walls of the assembly-room
are several well-executed pictures in oil
and water colors, examples of Nebraska
art. The building as a whole is home-like
and cheerful and one which Nebraska visitors
to the fair will be glad to see. | 150Reviewed by the Infanta.
