VOL. XXVII. w_m INDIANAPOLIS. IND., APRIL 16, 1892. NO. 16 WOKAH'S B-___Iir_ AT THB Vrt____r .FAIB, Among a great number of sketches submitted In competition for this building by women from all over the land, the President of the Board of Lady Managers quickly discovered In the sketch submitted by Miss Sophia G. Hayden, that harmony of grooping and gracefulness of details which indicate the architectural scholar, and to her was awarded the first prize of a thousand dollars, and also the execution of the design. Directly in front of the building the lagoon takes the form of a bay, about 400 feet in width. From the center of this bay a grand landing and staircase leads to a terrace six feet above the water. Crossing this terrace other staircases give access to the ground four feet above, on which, about a 100 feet back, the building is situated. The first terrace is designed in artistic flower beds and low shrubs. - The flrst story is raised about ten feet from the ground line, and a wide staircase leads to the center pavilion. This pavilion, forming the1 i main triple-arched entrance, with an open colonnade in the second story, is finished with a lower pediment enriched with a., highly elaborate bas-relief. The corner, pavilions have each an open colonnade'.added above the main cornice. Here are located the Hanging Gardens. " ■ ■ A lobby 40 feet wide leads into the open •rotunda, 70x6*5 fest, reaching through the height of the building, and protested by a richly ornamented skylight. This rotunda is surrounded by a two-story open arcade, as delicate and chaste in design as the exterior, the whole having a thorough ly Italian courtyard eflect, admitting abundance of light to all rooms facing this interior space. On the first floor are located, the left hand, a model hospital; on the right, a model kindergarten; each occupy ing 80x60 feet. The whole floor of the south paviliqn is devoted to the retrospective exhibit; the one on the north to reform work and charity organization. Each of these floors is 80x200 feet. The curtain opposite the main front contains the Library, Bareau of Information, records, etc. In the second story are located ladies' parlors, committee rooms, and dressing- rooms, all leading to the open balcony In 'ront. The whole second floor of the north pavilion incloses the great assembly room and club room. The first of these is provided with an elevated stage for the accommodation of speakers. The south Pavilion contains the model kicthen, refreshment rooms, reception rooms, etc. The building is encased with "staff," the same material used on the rest of the buildings, and as it stands with its mel- ">w, decorated walls bathed in the bright sunshine, the women of the country are justly proud of the result.

The temperature and precipitation during the week were much in excess with but little sunshine. December and February were quite mild and only few changes to oold occurred and theso were not excessive or continuous; but during January a continuous low freezing temperature prevailed, but fortunately, during the most dangerous period much snow covering the fields, offered good protection to wheat and clover; although the weather during the winter months was not quite beneficial to wheat 'still at the end of vinter, the crop is quite hardy and vigorous and promises a fair crop, more so in the southern than in the northern por are in bloom and garden vegetables are plentiful. The breaking of the soil preparatory for planting of corn has begnn. Rainfall, 1.59. DeGonia Springs, Warrick-ICo.—Local thunder storms during the week accompanied by much rain and high winds blew down wheat, some of which stands already knee high, and fencees, etc; wheat and clover have wintered well and are growing rapidly; but little oats|have been sown yet because of frequent rains; live stock has wintered well.—Rainfall, 3.75.

Farm work is progressing favorably. SOUTHERN PORTION. Seymour, Jackson Co.—The crop season opens under very favorable conditions. Wheat and grasses are strong and vigorous in growth; fruit germs and canes are uninjured by freezing: live stock has wintered well and is in. prime order; much oats has been sown; and considerable corn ground is broken. Average acreage of wheat; and a larger area than usual will be cultivated to spring crops, especially to vegetables for canning; fertilizer very generally used; altogether, the crop out look is very promising; Rainfall, 1.78. Worthington, Greene Co.—The drouth during the.fall retarded t__e|growth ofwh eat which was very short at the commencement of winter; there was little or no protection by snow except during January, yet the crop has wintered with slight damage; the past three i weeks have improved the prospect for a good crop of wheat very much; oats and grass are growing splendidly; clover looks well and is but little injured; stock is in good condition and an abundance of hay and corn is still on hand. Rainfall, 2 04. Mount Vernon, Posey Co.—Rainfall and temperature during the week were bene ficial to all agricultural interests, to health and prosperity.

Rainfall, 2.15. CENTRAL PORTION. Irvington, Marion Co.—Wheat is in average condition. Rainfall, 2.77. Richmond,* Wayne Co.—The unusually fine weather during the past few days was highly favorable to farm work and mnch plowing and oats seeding was done: the wheat fields^ook quitepromising,especially since the late warm rains, but the cold wintery weather in March gave it a set back for a lack of protection by snow of which there was sufficient during January and February; pasturage is coming np in beautiful green and the buds are beginning to swell; robins, blue and jay birds came ten days ago. Rainfall, 2.57. Shelbyville, Shelby Co.—Wheat has wintered fairly well and present conditions are favorable for a rapid growth of wheat and all grasses. Rainfall, 1.43. Mauzy, Rush Co.—The heavy rains during the week prevented farmers from plowing on a few days; wheat was not injured much during the winter, Dut much of it looks thin on the ground; the past ten days of warm weather improved it very much; pasturage is good; green leaves are on the buckeyes; no peaches; prospect for pears, cherries, plums, etc., is good. Rainfall, 2.40. Cambridge City, Wayne Co.—Wheat generally stood the winter well and an average yield is expected; clover and tli_- othy are in good condition; most farmers have finished sowing the oats. Rainfall, 2.50. NORTHERN PORTION. Dslphi, Carroll Co.—The weather of the past week was favorable to wheat and pasturage, except in low lands over flowed by the unusual high water; the general out look for wheat in this county is good, pomising something over an average crop, and estimated at about 20 per cent below last years average, which was slightly above 26 bushels per acre. Rainfall, 2.97. Point Isabel,. Grant '.Co.—Most wheat is in fair condition, March weather had been very hard on it, but the heavy rains and warm weather during the earlier part of the week were very favorable, and with continued favorable weather, the prospect for a fair crop is gocd. Rainfall, 4.50. Haw Patch, LaGrange Co.—Wheat Is In very good condition, 'also young clover; old clover^ headed very badly, owing to want of snow during the winter; never saw wheat and grass grow '* so fast as during the past week; fruit blossoms are very forward; weather perfect for all purposes. Riinfall, 1.8G, Columbia City, Whitley Co.—Twenty days ago the prospect for wheat In this vicinity was bad; much of it had been lifted by the action of the frost and it was apparently dying or dead; the olover,likewise, was badly frozen out; the recent frequent rains and warm weather, however, have greatly improved the appearance of the wheal fields, causing many of the plants to take root which otherwise would have died; the clover has also been greatly benefited; grass bas taken an early start. Rainfall, 2.11. Laporte, Laporte Co.—A week of great change in temperature; extremes noted 72° and 25°; the wheat and rye not on clay soils Is coming out nicely; farmers are generally plowing; week closes with asnow storm and the ground covered with snow.
