Peru wins bronze medal; H. W. Johns wins silver at Pan American Exposition

Awards at the Pan-American Exposition.

The Juries of Award at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, have completed their labors, and while the official list of awards has not been made public an unofficial list has been given out, from which we have selected the subjoined list giving the awards which are of most interest to our readers. It may be interesting to note that the total number of exhibits examined by the various Juries aggregated 7000, and that 150 persons served upon the juries under the general direction of Dr. Henry S. Pritchard, superintendent of awards. The detail work of the various juries was passed upon by a superior jury of about 40 members, who determined finally and without appeal the order of merit of the awards. It is to be regretted that several of the largest and best-known manufacturers in the country did not compete for awards, requesting that in considering this question their exhibits should be ignored; this fact should be borne in mind by readers finding the names of prominent companies "conspicuous by their absence" from the list. The awards relating to electrical and steam engineering and allied industries were as follows:
