till midnight 1t was printed and pasted up at every
corner of the street. Abont one hundred omnibus
SEES were running up and down Broadway literally fill
ed with beautiful young women elegantly dressed,
all Fastening TO the FAIR
Alta moderate calculation, there must have been
seven hundred of these sweet vistans Nblos yes
terday. Theirs were very like "angeIs VISITS al
though they were not
"Shor and far between"
Many went there 10 see the beautiful works Of art
of which the rooms contain the most brilliant assor-
ment ever sent ihsre-many went there 70 see the
beautiful works Of Nature OF which there was glo-
rious assemblaae-three hundred handsome young la

egant dresses. All fair girls in love, as IN politics,
put on your most becoming attire and 60 IN crowds;
for without you the exhibition would be incomplete
and wearisome. Go, girls 60.
But probably what drew numbers there was the re-
port that a most rnognfccntiy Worked Petticoat
valued at s700, intended as present to the queen
Victoria was TO be seen yesterday IL Is SAID 10 be
the production OF seven yoaRg ladies' OF this city, oil

A petticoat worked by seven sweet girls in seven
months werth S700 Don't let II 20 out Of the c0un.
trv There are plenty of American ladies worthy OF
wearing such petticoat; lar more 80 than all the
queens IN the universe Ii is now confidently assert
ed by those who seem 10 be in the secret thar this
traordnary pettcoat will be finished in time for the
exhibition on Wednesday.
The articles that seemed to attract the most atten-
ton Yesterday were carriage OF pure gold ana one
Of silver, each drawn by two large bed bugs, sad to

Two cases there deserve most particular attention,
and are alone worth visit to Niblost 10 see.
|. A case OF cutlery.
g. A Gaze Of pocket books.
There is but one manufacturer In the United States
of the cutlery contained in this case, and he employs
no boys girls orjourneymen TO assist hun. Inc case
contains nothing but pen and pocket knives, and these
are worth $500 all made by one nan IN three months.
They are most excellent specimens OF workman.
Il is most desirable that we encourage the home
manufacture OF this article. We now import from
Sheffield cutlery TO the amount OF Ten mlllions Of
dollars annually. One house in Sheffield tGreaves)
manufacture twenty thous and table knives and forks
for the Amencan market weekly.
Insignificant as q pen knife seems over 100 persons
are employed in its manufacture, and in the actual
making up" Of a knife there are twenty distinct

individual IN New York. New York must beat all
creation in cutting instruments, rs the New York

Now for the pocket book case, or cases, for there
are two Of them. They are just at the foot Of tho
stage and the aim house commissioners bugs are
in one of them Besides these valuable anlmae, the
cases contain goods worth $1,000. Splendid affairs
