Of Hon. JOIN BRouGH, our candidate for Gov

great pleasure to the people Of the State. The
can rely upon 1t as correct in every par
tieuIar. Beside this, Miss Ransom has hv,
large portraits and several smaller ones
But We miss her paintings Of Hon. J. R
Giddings and DR.. Kirtlsnd. To be sure
they have been exhibited before, but th'
many friends of those gentlemen will b
much gratihsd to have such life-liks pre-
sentiments once more before them.
W. c. NOrth's pictures come next in range
and many an old citizen of Cleveland, al
well as the residents Of OberIin and the eOun-
try round about, will start with surprised
pleasure at seeing post Of honor among
these accorded to the life sizo photo
graph Of President Asa Mahan. We know
Of no particular in which this picture could
be improved, and congratulate the artist
upon his complete success. North also has
many other fine photographs and other pic
tures.
Ryder sets of his magnificent photographs
in tastily frsscOsd space, which. is also in
excellent light. Rydsr's photograph Of the
Perry Statue and the survivors Of the battle,
must always hold rank as the ne plus ultra of
photographs art, but he has many other
pictures Whichare worthy companions Of this.
He has one elegant frame filed with small
vignetts photographs surrounding the silver
medals awarded him at the previous FairF.
The Fine Arts Hall at the State Fair
would not be recognized by visitors Of f1r-
msr years without some Of those miracles Of
penmanship with which Wilbur sstOnisbes
the world. In addition to the smaller ones
which seem Incompatible, he has new one
of great size and marvellous beauty Of ezecu-
tiOu. A wondering crowd is constantly in
front of, these hne pictures.
The splendid set of china which W. P.
FOgg exhibits in this hall, is enough to make
an ambitious hOuse-keepsr swell with envy
of the fortunate posssssor. This is but one
sample Of the rare and elegant wares which
fill the show counters at FOgg'S store, corner
of Superior and ssnecs streets, where our
country friends should not fail to call.
In this hall there are some articles in the
newspaper line, entered by H. NJ. Hall. They
consist Of a New London (Ct0 Gazette Of
1863 another number of the same paper Of
1874 a number of the Vicksburg Citizen,
printed on wall paper, dated July ID, two
days before the surrender Of the City to Gen
erai Grant. He has, also, specimens Of Con
tinsutaI Currency, in frame. These old
relics will do to accompany specimen Of silk
embroidery by Mrs Erastus Handy in 1910,
representing Mt. Vernon. Such work would
puzzle the girls Of the present day.
There are many mere articles in this de-
partmont which we have not space to Particu-
Iarizs to-day. We shall sndsavOr to do JUS
toe to all works Of real merit.
