We clip the following report Ct the FaiI
from the Cleveland Herald, which will b.
read with Interest,"
!, Upon entering the grounds, the first OBJ
!, lect Of attention is Floral Hall continual,
thronged TO excess. The arrangements here
are most excellent, aud such that all can Sc,
and examine the articles exhibited without
+ jostling and croWding which is generally
attendant upon such occasions. To enume.
rate the articles exhibited would be a Hercu
lean task. Fruits Of all kinds and varieties
are to be seen in abundance Beautiful bo-
; quets and pretty faces are the order Of the
day here. The picture gallery forms nc
small part Of this exhibition.
4 Manufacturer Hall is we'll stored with
the products of Ohio manufacturers, and pre-
sents an appearance which we think would
compare we'll with our more favored sister
States. We have here almost every thing
that is manufactured. We can speak of few
articles at present. The Domestic Depart.
ment occupies large space of this Hall,
consisting of embroidered quilts, spreads,
&c., DC, which are all good specimens and
do great credit to the fair hands of the manu-
facturers. Also an extensive assortment of
woolen clothes, Satinetts, Kersey and linen;
magnificent blankets embroidered in SUI
perb manner with coverlets to match; car
lpets of all kinds and descriptions, and rugs
worked with great skill and oeauty; pies of
stockings, and mttens of Ohio manufacture
American manufactures are represented
in black broadcloth, wooden corsetS, Satin
cts, Shirting, and Muslin de Lains, entered
from various parts of the Union.
| There wa also in this hall, needle, shell
and wax-work. Ornamented needle work, ot-
toman covers, groups Of flowers. fancy chair
work, worked collars and handkerchefs,
WOODEN shawls, port follos, silk bonnets, lac
caps, lamp stands, mats and various speci-
mems of ornamental shell work which are of
general attraction. The wax works consists
chiefly of statuary representing the Masonic
Order, and was formerly in Barnum's Mu-
scum. Here, too, are designs of farm, dairy,
poultry, milk and other houses. One design
for bridge is splendid model and quite
attractive
Mechanics Hall presents the appearance
of one grand and mighty workshop, where
people from all parts of the country have
congregated, having ended their abors, to
show their work, and well may they be proud
of it. The "noise and confusion" here is
tremendous. The clangor of bells, the mu
sic of pianos, the clattering of machines. the
ringing of anvils, she putting of engines, the
shouts of the crowd, all reach the ear at once
and forcibly remind one thai Ohio may be the
Banner State.
Beautiful specimens Of Cabinet ware of all !
description and of the richest quality are
exhibited. Also Coopcrs' ware and Crock
cry. Specimens Of American hardware are
very numerous, consisting of all sorts Of gar
den tools, Saddlers' hardware, horse shoes,
Coopers' tools, and curriers' tools. Also spe-
cimens of Surgical, Optical, Mathematical
and Philosophical instruments. Trayeling
trunks, carpet bags, boots, shoes and slip
pers, are prohusely piled up in this hall too,
everything goes ON in workmanlike man
ner.
The Horticultural Department, portion
Of which is beautifully arranged, in Floral
Hall, has already been spoken Of There
are varieties of specimens of pears, apples,
plumns, ounces, rasberries and grapes,
which We venture to say cannot be beat
The dairy of Ohio can be seen under the
large tent, where also are specimens of veg
ctabes. We notice large cheese from the
dairy of Hurd L. Babcock, Aurora Portage
County, which is we'll worthy the name
mammoth as it weighs 1900 lbs! A
squash grown in the garden Of ].
G. Osborn, Newark, weighing 1891 lbs. is
an object of considerable attention Here
too is vast quantity of turnips, carrots,
beets, parsnips onions, cabbage, pumpkins,
and different other vegetables too numerous
to mention. Grain of all kinds is found in
this department; also -four, butter, bread and
and honey. Passing on further, we come ,
to the poultry, of which large variety of ,
specimens are exhibited. Dorkings, DC, of
all sizes, and shapes are here met WITH also
Turkeys, wild and tame. Muscovy ducks,
and large China Geese. The collection of
poultry is the largest and best we have ever
seen. and one can plainly see that this class
OF our farm yard domestics is rapidly i'm
proving.
The Farmers implements we find scatter
ed about all over the ground, and the spe.
cimens exhibited are Numerous. There are
some improved harrowS and plows, which
appear to be entitled to the epithet of "Iabor
saving" We have not seen them work, and
therefore, cannotjudge oftheir merits. There
are, also, many, specimens of reaping, now
ing and thrashing machines. saw mills, and
corn and cob mills, field rollers, wheat drills
and hoise rakes, wheat cultivators, tanning
mills, hay presses, &C., &C.. also corn shell
lers, vegetable cutters, churns, cheese pres
ses, bee hives, washing machines, &c, grain
cradles. rakes, forks and scythes, and every
variety Of improved farmers implements and
ware.
We find, too, that the whole sheep world
is represented. The Longwool. BakeweE,
Leicestershirc, Middle wool, South Down,
Norfork, Mernoes and Saxons. The sheep
all make an excellent appearance, and are
always considered quite feature in our
State Fairs. btts
Horses are here of every grade, and the
display is the best eve. seen in the West.
