The natural advantages found on the coast and mountains of New Jersey have produced many fine and well-known resorts.  In order to illustrate some of the attractions there found, the exhibit in the Forestry, Fish, and Game Building was prepared.  It showed beautiful mounted specimens of practically all the birds that frequent the State.  In addition to the mounted fresh and salt-water fishes there was displayed, in the largest pool that has ever been constructed at an exposition, a number of the live salt-water fish found along the coast.  The oyster industry was represented by an exhibit from the State bureau of shell fisheries.  A glass tank filled with salt water showed an oyster bed containing the following variety of oysters, all of which are products of New Jersey:  Shrewsburys, Raritan, Barnegat, Maurice River coves, Absecon salts, and the Cape May salts.  The tank also contained a profusion of marine vegetation, and a number of the varieties of clams and fish common to the waters of the State.  An interesting demonstration was made of each stage of the progression from the spat to the prime oyster.

Another very instructive and important feature was the mosquito exhibit, which was intended to illustrate the work which has been done by authority of the State of New Jersey in studying the life, history, and methods of dealing with the mosquito pest.  The work was in charge of Prof.  John B. Smith, the State entomologist, and the exhibit was prepared under his direction.  It consisted of a series of table cases in which were shown the common species of mosquitoes, with their larvae as well as their natural enemies.  Enlarged drawings gave the character of each species so far as they were not obvious on ordinary examination.

At one end of the square was represented a marsh area divided into two parts.  One of these showed breeding pools, where the immense shore crop develops.  The other showed fiddler crabs and other creatures that provide a natural drainage for the meadows inhabited by them.  Areas where fiddler crabs live are never mosquito breeders, and as a matter of fact only a small percentage of the entire salt, marsh country is dangerous.  Illustrations showed drainage ditches, the methods of making them, and also typical areas where the insects breed.

New Jersey had an exhibit also of road building in the Model City, showing the manner of constructing and maintaining the excellent highways of that State.

In the Palace of Liberal Arts interesting exhibits were displayed by various business enterprises of the State.  This included a variety of printing presses, books, binding, and publications of different series, musical instruments, philosophical and scientific apparatus, coins and medals, as well as an exhibit of chemical and pharmaceutical arts, and model plans and designs for public work.

In the Palace of Manufactures and Varied Industries New Jersey exhibits attracted considerable attention.  The display included hardware, carpets, tapestries, fabrics for upholstery, wearing apparel, silks, and clothing.
