There Is much complaint among ex
hibitors over the delay in awarding
World's Fair medals. As many of the
exhibitors expect to make the most of
uieir meuais in an auveriising wav, tnev
complain that the great delay will rob
them of much of the commercial advan
tage which they expected to reap in re
turn for the heavy expense involved in
making the World's Fair exhibit. The
design bv St. Gaudens for official medals
is here, but the contracts for manufact
uring the medals has not yet been award
ed, and it is still even uncertain whether
the work may not be done bv the United
States mint. The plan of tne Treasury
otticialB contemplates medals of elegant
workmanship that would require four or
five months, as it would necessitate
stamping some of them 400 or 600 times,
and it does not seem probable the work
will be completed before next summer.
The blame is laid to the Committee of
Awards or to Designer St. Gaudens for
not furnishing the designs earlier.
