no excessive cold-nothing TO mar its beauty and |
splendor.
On arriving al the Garden, we found several
of the public schools, arranged In order, with |
their teachers, females, singing and chanting
with their tiny infantle voices; 1t seemed IKE
young heaven suddenly descended upon the Fair =
They are all admitted gratutously. We noticed |
schools Nos. 8, 10, and ii.
On entering the main saloon, the first thing that
attracted our eye was large case OF silver ware, by
Messrs. Ball, Tompkns " Black, lSl Broadway
They are sent there for exhibition at the special So
citation of the Institute, and we think we never
behed any silver OF such splendid and exqul'
site finish The eye is never tired with gazing up
on its dazzling brightness and spotless purity.
Next to this of silver ware, is the round stand
occupied (aso request of the nstitute) by Messrs
Woram 81 Ha1ghwout, so well known tor their
courteousness and fair dealing The articles on this
stand will speak for themselves; the mere fact of
our noticing them at all is sufficient proof OF our
high opinion, for we give no indscriminate notices.
1t is mere Justice, therefore, TO these gentlemen that
we say they manufacturers agents, SCI Broad
way. and have hand full assortment OF gas,
oil and candle chandal iers, pendants brackets, man.
tel lights, lanterns, grandoles, candeabras, solar,
and astral lamps, &c. Also, all kinds of plated
cutlery, and general furnishing goods.
A little farther on is another handsome case of
Another ditto by William Adams, 1856 Church
street, all very beautiful.
We can also with great confidence call the atten-
ton of the public who are concerned to case No.
L. Brown, SO Fulton street. They also exhibit by
request of the Institute, and the scales said to
be The best made
No visiter at the garden will fail to notice and
admire the magnificent specimens OF glass staining
and painting, by Messrs. Carse IL West, 472 Pearl
street, near Chatham. Almost all the glass staining
in the garden is by these gentlemen-see, for ex-
ample, the big fancy lamp between Niblo's house
and the saloon
Oysters-The mll-pond oysters, exhibited at
the Fair by Messrs ]. West 81 Co, of the Caspian
Saloon l22 Fulton and 81 Nassau street, under The
Sun office, (Which by the way is one of the neatest
and preitiest places in the ci,y,) we think, the
largest and handsomest we have ever seen. We
should like 10 be appointed on committee every
day TO examine into their merits
Silk Rees.-There are many OF these at the
Fair but we can at present notice only one, and
| that by A. b. Jones, patentee We believe 1t is
generally considered the best now in use, but cam
| not speak positively We have seen some of the
silk, which looks very fine.
| A Dropping Willow Of exquisite beauty, made of
tissue paper, by Miss Jane q. Piggot of 81 East
Broadway, will not fail to attract the attention Of
vlsiters II is contiguous to the Clerks desk in the
corner of the main Saloon, and might almost be
| taken for natural production.
No. 757 is wig by F. Gibblns, n Maiden Lane,
and any one who uses the article should not fail to
| look at 1t.
No. 26s is sample of sealing wax, manufactured
| by j. C. Colin & Co, 1lS Amy street. We be-
lieve 1t to be the first of the kind ever made in this
country, and at least equal to any imported. Try it.
HORTICULTURAL Room AGAIN.-We now proceed
to redeem our promise, and complete our survey OF
| the articles in this room. Horticulturalists will
please to observe that reportto-day of this room,
together with our first days report, make full and
complete notices of all the articles exhibited in this
| room and II suitable lnducement Is offered the
whole can be published early next week in an extra
| FORM
| That American Cambran Harp, by Mr. Jones.
If there is anything deficient in our port to-day,
ycp chorOp oil tho hi harm No
entered the Horticultural room to attend to the bu-
siness before us, but Mr. Lewellyn was playing
| upon this harp, and all business was at an end.
| "He played with so soft and enchanting sound,
That sylvans and fairies unseen danced around"
The public will surely look after this harp. In it
they may have, for $500, sweeter and better music,
as we think, than they can get In some others TOR
$3.50 We should add that Mr.. Jones performs daily
| upon it by special request of the Institute.
In our former review, we noticed one OF Mr.. Oil
vers flower stands, filled with fuchsias, cactuses,
and other rare flowers, to which no name was at
| tached. We have since been informed that they
| are part of Mr. Isaac Buchanans collection, who
mas also sent in most splendid pyramid of dahlias,
and other flowers, decked with evergreen in good
| taste.
We would next direc, your attention to Niblo and
Dunlaps Gothic temple richly ornamented with
dahlas, with mirror in the centre;
Don't forget to notice the old gardener, or repre-
sentative OF the three distinct branches, agricul-
| ture. horticulture, and Horticulture. He has hay
band around his hat, to which attached some
ears OF wheat and mlet. A bouquet is in his boz
som, large apple on his arm, and various field and
garden products his feet representing the horns of
| plenty by two bulock's horns. He holds in his
hand the following lines on cultivation =
