are becoming more and more exciting each
year, not only 90 the lookers-0n, bat % the
drivers aud the recurrence st eHa- 81 thesr
days without the loss Of life aud limb, H.
among he wonders The crowd seem 60
vic with each other no 20 which would ran
the greatest risk by erowdiug on the track.
However the dn- passed without any serious
accident though there we've several ltte
sma'h-ups but no peraons were injured, as
We have learned
Floral Hall was really beautiful, The busy
hands Of many ladies and gentlemen had
made Il look Ike a gallery Of ART Great
praise IL due those individuals who gave
their time and labor 10 freely, IN fitting up
the building in such beautiful taste,
Miss o, NJ. Lawrence Of Waterford, pre-
scented some hair work that must have been
the occasion Of great deal Of patient labor,
Il would compare fayorahly with work Of the
same kind done In our cities, Among the
wontod work We noticed beautifully
wrought chair presented by MrnrDr, Frosti
ottomans by Mrs 4, 4. Bowkor Of East
Burke, Misses Abbott and T., y, Spencer Of
ST. Johnsbary, some very fine bead baskets
were suspended In the room, the work Of
Miss Garlic Aver A Glove Of a bonnet" was
furnisheQ from Miss T., McDougall's millinery
and drcsA-s-sGs store. Miss Rcbceca Pike
and Emily Idle each had leather "what-
not" Mr. Gage occupied one corner Of the
room, mostly with photographs, both Of To-
liyiduals aud rural scenery, They. were pic
lures that do credit 10 the "man with the long
flowing beard" "and u.furlh, and so-on."
Some very good oil paintings were presented
by Miss Mary Ann Chombcrliu, Thcrcwerc
piu cushions, and other knick -knaeks, made
by Mrs, Pope Of Danyillc, lady aged 90
years These, with the patch work Of the
girl aged years, were curiosiucs. There
were very many finely wrought sleeves and
collars, and the like, some Of the best Of
which We noticed we're Miss Lucy spcneer's
work.
There was a greatproiusion Of bed spreads,
rugs, lamp mats, embroidered skirts and
things, the mention Of which even would be
tedious but We will not leave the hall without
mentioning the beautiful boqucls Of flowers.
Although We made diligcut enquiry, We
'ould not learn who presented the flowers,
iut thought We recognized in them the good
