THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,

GRAND' FLORAL AND :HORTICULTURAL EXHI-
BITION, FANCY FAIR, &c.

Yesterday, according to announcement, the floral exhibi-
tion and fancy fair took place in the Zoological Gardens,
The day was fine, and all that could be desired. The
gardens were gaily decorated for the occasion with arches
and arbours, covered with evergreens, and ornamented with
various devices in,heraldry, &c. There were also superior
illuminations fitted up throughout the gardens, that lent
an enchanting brilliancy to the closing scene. To notice
the first object of attraction, however, we mention the fruit
and flower show. Here the specimens f'or exhibition were
really good. The fusehias were of the finest growth, and
the pelargoniums were well trained, and iii' good flower.
The specimens of verbenas, though few, were choice ; and
the ferns were also of the ,best and most select specimens,
The picotees and carnations were excellent, and the pansies
were, to look en, truly heart's-ease. The cuthollyhocks were
very fine, and nothing could
_surpass the display of cut
dahlias. There were eut roses, too, of the most cultivated
sorts. The hand boaquets were exceedingly handsome, but
in some iistances a little too crowded. There were two
plants of the coxcomb that attracted particular notice, and
were very fine specimens ; as were two orange trees laden
with truit. . This brings us to the fruit department, which
exceUM' even that of the ?oral, in variety and 'ex-
cellence. The grapes, Ilia and white, as exhibited
by 11. Littleae,le,Esq., It, C. 'Gardner,. Esq., and W..ffack-
son, Esq., 'were magnificent. The peaches, -apples,
pears, melons, strawberries, raspberries, and pine-apples,
Were all of)the most tempthsg description. After •a survey
:he visitor was reluctantly obliged to quit' this
t for that 'of the fancy fair; but -On passing

through, an excellent ;provision Ls • made tor the anxious
tooth, as a stall Laden with all the fruit of -thk., season is
erectedlor the accommodation of visitors -who may wish to
porchase such fruit as tie forbidden in the first tent. The
fancy fair is a fairy steate'; the attractions are innumerable;
and 'not the least .44f these attractions are -the fascinating
young ladies who conduct the respective stalls. Ict is interesting
to itv-itness theldindltelonging to the Catholic Blind Asylum
