articles For the whole Of tlis period beth the
supply and demand have been steadily on the in
crease. and the Eleventh Annual air, winch has

by large and graceful iag suspended directly across
that delightful aad fashionable promenade. ms nag

At The opposite extreme from the entrance OF The

Above the respective tables employed for the eNhbi'
tim OF the articles offered for sale were arranged sym
metrical and highly decorated Gothic arches. Indeed,
prouse the display OF evergreen that the saloon
seemed almost garden transferred by the potency Of
magic the heart Of this popuous city and ensbrined
within the walls OF this luxurious hall.
To say nothing OF mere feminine beauty which s al
ways obvious Fair must say that 10 the same NUM-

We had all that lends euchentmcnt TO the halls OF fash

mere Art can never command and that was So'i. In.

hance the charms Of each, but nothing short OF that
spiritual illumination conferred by Jealous devotion
to Truth can perfect the human countenance. Truly
has Mr. Emerson remarked Man is small thing amid
the objects OF creation. yet from the moral quslines
which Tadute from his couhieDance he uansccud3 all
these.
Those delightful vocalists the Hutchinson Family
being present the first evening volunteered several songs
that raptnrously received and II being generally
suing night an immense tlrong nlcd the vast saloon,
