and flowers
The centre Of attra .tion is around and above
sparkling Fountain in the midst of the Hall.
Suspended from the roof above the Fountain is
an evergreen octagon chandelier, the centre
piece an inverted colossal white Day Lily, lis
corolla glittering with dewdrops. The imitation
of nature BY the nimble fingers CT one Of San
dusky's fairest and most accomplished daugh-
ters, Is perfect. Each square Of the chandelier
Is wonder TO thou ands. You look on it
and read on a blue ground 80 Ohio State Fair. -
You watch and it gradually dissOlves as the
angle changes, and Sandusky" takes its
place upon a green ground. Keep your eye
on it. Again it changes, and September,
1853 upon red ground appears upon the
very same spot previously occupied by the first
two. Each square of the octagOn is capable
of three different changes, when viewed al dif-
ferent angles. As it swings and revolves you
notice the names of the President, Secretary,
and members of the State Board Of Agrieul-
ture appear and dissolve, as well as several
notices, making in all twenty-four pleasing
and unique changes On one side Of the Foun.

FLOWERS AND FRUITS.
Yesterday the Hall lacked its due quantity of
Flowers and Plants, bus it was hoped defcien-
cies would be made up today. The only Cleve-
land card we noticed was that of DR.. BEAU
MONT.
Fruits, considering the unPropitious season,
were better represented in quantity and quality
than we expected to see. The Apples were
mainly from Lorain, Eric, and Sandusky coun-
ties. There is quite show of Pears, and
limited number Of plates of Peaches. Kel-
ley-s I...aI and vicinity make a grand
show Of -raics. Mr. GEO. KELLEY, a success
fli Orchardist, H0rtieulturist, Grape Grower,
and Manufacturer of Wine, on Kelleys Island,
exhibits excellent specimens of Isabella, Ca
tawha, Cape or Alexander, Miller's Burgundy,
Black Cluster, and Seeding Catawba. There
are some seyenty-five acres in vineyards on the
Island, and hundred acres more will be put
out with grapes next season. The rot has
never seriously injured the grape crop on the
Island, and the yield this season will be 400 10
500 gallons OF wine to the acre. Mr. CARPEN-
TER, and other Grape Growers, have numerous
plates Of the luscious fruit on the tables.
The Fruit Balloon of Mr.. J. P MERRIAN is /
feature Of the Hall, and most tempting one.
Melons, etc, are well represented
Some lover Of native Fruits has filled score
or more Of plates with walnuts, chestnuts, but
ternuts, beeehnuts, ,hazlenuts acorns, fox-grapes,
wild berries, DC, of various kiuds-taking ''old
settlers" back to bOyhOOd days and fare at log
cabin social gatherings.
Sewing Machines of various patents click
away to the great delight of the ladies who
.hrong around these home blessings, and the
ine Pianos on the platforms can scarcely drown
.heir cheerful music.
Messrs. JONES & Sons, and Messrs. MYERS,
UHL & Co., exhibit their eIquisitely carved and
md highly polished Nantes and Monuments in
Floral Hall, to the great credit OF Cleveland
The admirers are many.
A KARE RELIC OF THE PIONEERS
In the midst of the Fair Grounds is hum :
lie memorial Of the Past, which the Board did
veil to preserve for the Inspection of the multi
udes. It is primitive log cabin, the first built
Z Sandusky, the rudeness Of which Is partially !
elieyed by fresh coat of whitewash. It has !
history, which is placarded on its walls. The
abin was built in 1871 by Michael Gibbs, who
,ept bachelors hall in it. It became, in the
month Of March, 1912, the scene Of bloody
ragedy. Two Indians, named Sermo and Omit, i
topped at the cabin to stay over night with I
iib5s, with whom they were acquainted A I
rapper named Burd was also spending the r
light in the cabin. The latter was living asleep I
'eiOre the fire. Gibbs went out after wood to II
eplenish the FIRE, when one of the Indians
truck Blrd with an Ak, killing him. Gibbs was 4
net at the door and was also struck with an az. \

cling one Of the Indians. The other savage I
isabled Gibbs right arm with 4 stroke from his

lTued and fed, but was shot dead. The mur- o
erers were afterwards arrested, tried, and con- h
