Fair grounds On reaching the grounds, so
many objects called for attention that it was
hard to choose which to attend to first, but tax
ing the nearest, we entered Mechanics Hall,
where every variety of mechanical skill seemed
to have been exercised to add to the attractions
Of the Fair Almost countless specimens of
8 handiwOrk filled the tables and space through
out the Hall, and crowds of men, women and
children were examining them with interest
Among the exhibitors noticed the following
from Cleveland;
Walter Faruan presented fine specimen of
, work, comprising water pipes and cocks, bath
: apparatus, &c
, N. Patinson also had three specimens Of the
same kind of work, a marble-topPed wash stand
and two sets of bathing apparatus. These were
not prepared for exhibition, but were taken
r from the ordinary stock.
Asa FoJte had on exhibition syphOn pump
for forcing water.
The NewbuIgh Chair Co. had large eOllec-
ton of chairs and furniture, which made fine
appearance.
In Floral Hall, Beaumont d Co. had large
and shOwy collection of verbenas, which at
tracted much attention, and gained them credit
for the artistic manner in which they were AZ
ranged.
g Messrs. T. Jones & Sons, and Myers, Uhl &
e Co, exhibit some splendid specimens of mar
bic work, which were much admired. Their
- mantles of American marble contain some eX-
{ quisite carving, which we have never seen sur

h arrangements of the committees
