MECHANICS lNsTITuTEFAIR.


The WignAm had good turn out Of viaisors
yesterday, and last evening, and the interest Of
our citizens in this great exhibition is aprar-
emily unabated. To-day, the the last day but
one of the Fair. should be improved BY al who
have not seen it. The little folks Of the Public
Schools are to be admitted this afternoon at
dime fee. The beautiful display Of flowers By
Charles Reissig, with tho superb boquet sir
feet high, was admired Iy all rho yesterday
saw the saue.
We notice the little landscape in hair~work,
the product Of the skill Of German artist and
the property Of DR.. Williams, Of the Galena
and Chicago Union Railroad, has been moved
to better light and location, and crowds were
about it all day. 1t is small piece, and will be
likely to be overlooked, but all wbo see it will
be repaid by studying its beauties. It is rarely
that such terms can DO applied to work in its
class Of art.
Another point Of interest around which is
continual throng. md which is really worthy Of
notice, are Campbell l. Moore'e cases OF Hair
Jewelry. Their bird clcck is perfect curiosity
in itself. Their sets Of Hair Jewelry are really
superb, and need to be seen to bs appreciated
surpassing anything We hare ever seen in that
lins, and from the host Of admirers this seems
to be the general opinion Of the visitors to the
Fair
Messrs. Jevne 4 Aimini, No. 101 Washington
street, have on exhibition beautiful specimens
Of flesco painting and granting, at frst.class
residence on Michigan avenue. The library is
nd s>ar lad rsof
and is considered By the best judges perfect
muster. piece Of art. The rarlors are frescoed
| in the most exquisite taste, and reflect great
credit upon those artists who have won name
aud reputation second to none in the country.
We admire the interest many Of cur first cisi-
zens Of Chicago are taking in this style Of or
nanentng their private residences, showing as
it does good taste and judgment combined

well executed portrait banners ef Lincoln and
