floral HALL,

Tbs Committee cn Floral Hall report that tie
collections in this department OF the exhibition
are decidedly superior in quality TO those Of for
mer years and there are comparatively few artl-
cles Of ordinary character. The display 81
flowers is exceedingly rich and brilliant and there
are many Of uncommon rarity and beauty.
In works Of fine art there Is marked improve
rnent in taste and skill from that Of former exhi
bitions In the Photographic art, it will be diff
Quilt to find, anywhere, superior exhibitions in the
line Of either portrait or Landscape Photograph
ing plain colored, TO what has been seen on the
walls Of Floral Hall at this time.
4 few good oil paintings, the work Of artists Of
our own State, are also exhibited.
There arc sone elegant specimen, Of needle
work. There are few fair samples Of textile
fabrics Of domestic production, in woolen, linen
and cotton but on the whole this department Of
the exhibition Is much more limited than the
committee would have bsen glad to see it.
The articles Of taste or skill IN wood and metal
are few, though some of them are very noticeable.

Barometers, made by bIr. Chester Hildreth

This Band has been organized the present

ably surprised by the excellence Of their
performances during the Fair.
The Fair, under all the circumstances, was
decidedly successful one. 1t was unfortu-
nate, that the Managers withdrew the pre-
miums on Cattle. They acted, in $50 do
in-, with what, at the time. was consid-
cred by ali to be a Wise foresight; but it
turned out. as time went en-, and too late to
restore the premiums, that there was no pleu
ropneumonia il Vt, and nothing to prevent a
good exhibition Of neat stock The absence of
the Cattle, left the exhibition imperfect in
particular which interests more Of our far
mers than any other, and corresponding
diminution of general interest and atten-
dance was inevitable. The awful storm of
the second day was particularly unfortunate
for the show. 1t kept back q number of
articles intended for exhibition, and disar-
ranged the plans of many who would ether
wise have been present from some distance.
There was no public address, which is so
often an attractive feature of our Agricul-
