DEAR SIR: The accompanying list of 83 women jurors, to serve on the committee of awards of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, has been made by the board of lady managers and is hereby submitted for approval to the Exposition Company and to the National Commission.
This list has been made according to the authorization granted to the board in section 6 of the acts of Congress approved March 3, 1901, to wit, "To nominate one member of all committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as shall have been produced in whole or in part by female labor."
Yours, truly, M. MARGARETTA MANNING, _President._
FRANCES MARION HANGER, _Chairman Committee of Awards._
Hon. DAVID R. FRANCIS, _President Louisiana Purchase Exposition,_ _Administration Building._
AUGUST 4, 1904.
MY DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT: Responding to your communication of July 30, transmitting a list of women jurors and alternate jurors, that you recommend for appointment, and which you submit for approval by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, I beg to state that under the rules and regulations of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, approved by the National Commission, the board of lady managers may appoint 32 women jurors and women alternate jurors.
As the number of names submitted by you greatly exceeds the number you are permitted to nominate under the rules and regulations above referred to, the list is herewith returned for revision. If the names you have submitted for appointment upon the groups for which the board of lady managers are entitled to make nominations are the ones you desire in these particular groups, they will be entertained for confirmation, but it may be you will desire to readjust your list.
Very respectfully,
D.R. FRANCIS, _President._
MRS. DANIEL MANNING, _President Board Lady Managers._
AUGUST 9, 1904.
DEAR SIR: In response to your letter received August 8, in relist of nominations for the women jurors made by the board of lady managers, I beg leave to state that said list was made under what the board believed to be the interpretation of section 6 of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1901, which would seem to provide for the appointment of "one member of all committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as may have been produced in whole or in part by female labor."
We regret exceedingly that "in the discretion of said commission and corporation" referred to in said act, the list of groups has been reduced from 83 to 32.
We respectfully ask, however, that a favorable consideration may be given to four additional groups, viz: No. 125, Literature; No. 126, Somatology; No. 127, Ethnology, and No. 128, Ethnography. These groups have been specially designated by the chief of the Department of Anthropology, the names of nominees submitted are those approved by him, and it is most desirable that this request be granted.
We herewith hand you revised list, readjusted as per your instructions.
Respectfully submitted.
FRANCES MARION HANGER, _Chairman on Committee of Awards_.
Hon. DAVID R. FRANCIS, _President Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company_.

The committee of awards regrets that the discretionary power of the Exposition Company restricted the appointive power of the board, and that the late hour of the appointments prevented a number of the jurors from accepting.
It was a great pleasure to the members of the board and the committee to meet and to entertain the clever and attractive women jurors, who served with distinction in their work and who in every possible way showed their appreciation of the honor conferred upon them by the board of lady managers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Respectfully submitted.

Madam PRESIDENT, _Board of Lady Managers._
The tenth meeting of the board was called on November 9, 1904. Many matters in connection with the closing of the work of the board in St. Louis were disposed of, and the following resolution passed concerning the preparation of its final report:
I move that the president of this board be requested to make a final report of the work of this board.
On December 2 the last session of the board was held in the building which it had occupied during all the months of the exposition, and it was with a feeling of genuine regret that the members separated, never to meet again in the house which had been the scene of many interesting gatherings.
On the day following the official closing of the exposition the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company sent their representative to make an inventory of the contents of the building, preparatory to the dismantling of the house which was thereafter to be known as the Physics Building and be occupied by students of the Washington University. On December 13 formal and final surrender was made by the president on behalf of the board of lady managers to the Exposition Company.
The following is the final report of the house committee for the exposition period:
On the 30th day of April, 1904, at the opening of the greatest exposition the world has ever known, and commemorating one of the most important events in the history of our country, the board of lady managers, created by act of Congress and appointed by the National Commission, designed by the wisdom and forethought of one of our most dearly beloved Chief Executives, to represent the women of America in setting forth to the world woman's part, not only in the making of the exposition but in the real expansion and development of our great nation, found itself, by a combination of circumstances fortuitous or otherwise, resolved into a committee on entertainment, with a commodious and elegantly appointed home to call its own and the appropriation of $100,000 to spend on furnishing, entertaining, and necessary expenses of the board. It is therefore the pleasure of this your house committee to report for the entire exposition period beginning April 30, 1904, and ending December 1, 1905, the house in order each day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., for the reception of the public and for a series of entertainments, which, by reason of the number of distinguished men and women thus brought together, were international in character, and of a nature and brilliancy in the highest degree pleasing to the board itself. During this time some 25,000 guests were entertained by the board at the special functions and the informal afternoon teas, the latter having been made a most attractive and interesting feature, dispensing the board's hospitality toward the close of the Fair. For every month, save August, a number of formal affairs were given, including luncheons, receptions, and dinners.
