THE EXPOSITION (Page 14)

During the session of the Congress, and for the purpose of making a practical demonstration of the products of irrigation to the visiting delegates from the humid regions, an interstate and Territorial Exposition was held under the supervision of the Board of Control. This feature of the entertainment was directed by Hon. Edgar Wilson, Gen. Jos. Perrault and C. J. Sinsel, aided by an efficient corps of assistants. Large pavilions were erected, occupying two blocks on Eighth street and a similar space on Front street, with the addition of the 300-foot warehouse of Mr. Sinsel.

Forty-seven tons of fruits, grains, grasses, sugar beets and vegetable products, and products of the apiary were entered in competition for the magnificent sterling silver loving cups, given as prizes. The exposition was thronged during the four days and nights the Congress was in session, being visited by fully 15,000 people. Decorators from the large cities exhausted their ingenuity in appropriate bunting effects, and 2000 electric lights made gorgeous illumination at night.

On exhibition were 154 varieties of grains, 51 varieties of grasses, 12 varieties of potatoes, 48 varieties of apples, 26 varieties of evaporated fruits, 19 varieties of grapes, 18 varieties of pears, 11 varieties of prunes, and 84 entries in the sugar beet contest. Following is a list of prizes awarded and the winners:
