Fine Art Hall was properly perched on a
beautiful hill, but its adornments were far from
what Ohio artists could and should do on a
State Fair occasion. A fine case of Ohio Birds,
prepared by A. G. Ross, Zlnesville, attracted
the eye on entering, as did the large collection
of ambrotypes, daguei;eotypes, qphereotypes,
stereCtypes, etc, of A. Bisbee, Cleveland. He
was awarded superb medal and two diplomas.

One of the most attractive ingenious and
popular inventions on the Fair ground was
Belts Rock Shaft Gate, exhibited by Mr. Lodge,
Cleveland. 1t is the brain and hand work of
young f. B. Belts, of Lorain, who with u skill
and perseverance which do him great credit
perfected his model took tito Washington, and
obtained patent, which we doubt not will
yield him deserved reward Some twenty of
the gates have already been erected in this city
and vicinity, which give entire satisfaction ;
an the demand increases as their simplicity,
convenience, and durability are observed of men
who drive out and in at gates. The Belts gate
opens at the touch of the carriage wheel on the

looking 10. No dlsmounting is necessary in dr.
wing through, and there are no high posts, pull
| leys, chains OF cords, to mar the beauty of the
entrance to an elegant yard or carriag drive.
That the awarding committee appreciated it is
evidenced by first premium over several com.
petitors.
Another useful invention on show was the
cast iron fence posts and trellises, by H. T.
Dewey, Sandusky, patented in May, 1859 They
are alike adapted to board or picket fences,
hitching posts, AMI grape and rose trellises
Mr.. E. c. Bacon, Cleveland, had on exhibition
six of Fairbanks world renowned scales, four
platform and two cattle and hay scales. They
were of course much approved.
The Flowing Match near the fair grounds
was not very highly spoken of by those who
handle well broke Reserve teams, and turn
straight furrows. Robert Park, of North Fair
field, Huron county, was awarded the first
premium for the best plow used on the occasion
1t was one Of his celebrated cast plows with
iron beam, for general purposes.
The Fair wound up with cavalcade of premi.
um stock; making one of the finest displays of
cattle and horses ever seen in Ohio In the
