Denmark had no official building on the grounds but confined her space to the principal exhibition palaces.  Her principal displays were installed in the Palace of Varied Industries, where she occupied about 5,000 square feet of space.

Twenty exhibitors displayed goods in the Palace of Varied Industries.  Their displays consisted principally of porcelain, silverware, art pottery, cabinet works, embroideries, photography, ship models, and a ship model of the free port of Copenhagen.  The last-mentioned model was subsequently donated to the Chicago Municipal Museum.

In the Palace of Electricity, the Agricultural Building, and the Palace of Fine Arts Denmark occupied smaller spaces, but her exhibits attracted general attention on account of their universal excellence.

EGYPT.

The amount of Government appropriation for Egypt’s participation at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition was approximately $50,000.  The principal exhibit made by the Government of Egypt consisted of a representation of antiquities in the Anthropology Building; an exhibit by the Sudan Government in the foreign section, comprising ivory, gum, rubber, various cereals, and a variety of ancient weapons and curious articles in use by the natives of Sudan.  In the same section were exhibited some heads of wild animals including hippopotamus and the buffalo.  In the Liberal Arts section was displayed a large relief map showing the system of irrigation in use in Egypt with the canals clearly marked.  This exhibit was made by the administration of the Daira Sanich, which forms part of the Government, and in the same section the public works department of the Government exhibited various models of the Delta Barrage and other irrigation works existing in various parts of Egypt.

In the Agricultural Building, through the Khedivial Agriculture Society and the Produce Association of Alexandria, a complete collection of cotton and cereals and every kind of agricultural product grown in Egypt were shown, in addition to which the Campagnie des Sucreries of Egypt had a very fine display of sugar, and the Port Said Salt Association sent samples of various kinds of salt.

The commissioners appointed by the Egyptian Government were Herman E. Lawford and Abdel Hamid Abazza.  The latter was in charge of the agricultural section.  He is connected with the Khedivial Agriculture Society of Egypt, and was requested by the Government of Egypt to make a report on the cotton industry in this country, particularly with regard to diseases of the cotton plant.  Mr. Lawford has resided in Egypt for several years and has been connected with various land and industrial companies.  Mr. Quibell, who was attached to the commission, is an inspector of antiquities in the employ of the museum at Cairo, and has been in Egypt for a number of years, his time being devoted to scientific researches.
