William A. Taylor , of the United

who hold the position of acting po-
moloftist at the Paris Exposition ,
has written George A. Marshall , ol
Arlington , of Nebraska's success in
competition at the world's exposi
tion about a month ago. Mr. Tay
lor was in charge of the United
States horticultural exhibit , and ho
convoys the information that in the
temporary competition of Juno 27th
tbo collection of apples of the crop
of 1880 , exhibited by the Nebraska
horticultural society , was awarded
first prize , "Premier Prix. " There
were four varieties on exhibit ,
the ben Davis , Dominie Molntosh
and North West Greening , all grown
by Marshall Bros. , of Arlington.
Tbough the collection contained
fewer varieties than the collections
from some of the other states , the
fruit was in excellent condition , and
presented a fiua appearance. Speci
mens of tbo above varieties in the
exhibit of the Nebiacka Ilorlioultu
ral society were included in the
general collection of the United
States , which constituted forty va
rieties from fourteen different states.
This collection was awarded "Pre
mier Prix" by the jury in the
world's competition.
The honor is regarded with pride
by these who were instrumental in
making Nebraska's exhibit what it
was. Mr. Taylrr says ho feels that
the effort to increase the European
demand for American fruit bids
fair to succeed , lie says the out
look at present for the immediate
and large increase in the demand is
very favorable. alO 3t
