traeti7e arrangement. Extending over the |
entrance snd exit doors, and completing |
what may be considered the outer circle. |
On the east and west sides Of the Hall are |
half ssmi-oircular enclosures Of carpenter |
work, covered and trimmed with evergreen,
in which is a most interesting collection Of
many curious things-plants, shrubs, moses,
rustic work, miniature houses, fruits, 30. A
fountain in constant play is in the center Of
each. Additions are being made daily to
the already interesting collection. At the
north snd of the Hall, and occupying the
space between the entrance and exit doors, ia
an sviary and flower garden, very tSStsfully
arranged. though not yet completed. We
shall give fuller description Of this fine
design Whenit is complete.
We have thus briefly, but indiFsrently,
sketohed most Of the prominently attrao-
tive features of Floral Hall. The reader
can form but an imperfect idea, however
Of the many beauties Of the Hall from
what we have written. We regret that we
cannot, in this issue, notice the artistic
work surrou nding the base Of the Perry
Statue, but shall do SO in our next, in de-
tail The design Of the Hall Is the work
of Mr.. F. R. Elliott, and too much cannot
be said in praise Of his taste and artistic
talent, nor of the industry with which he
has done an immense work in q very short
time.
MECHANICS HALL.
This Hall is being filed up briskly, and
will open to-day, it is expected, with eV-
erything in working order. The dOns-
tiOns thus far will probably amount to
$4,000, including articles of the most
common demand Of every kind. As soon
IS the arrangements are completed in this
department, to which end a meeting Of the
committees will be held this morninr at
ten o'clock, we shall give a detailed list
Of the articles on hand. A billiard tab e
has been donated to the Hall, and it will be
fitted up for players to-day.
DINNING HALL.
The business Of this Hall, yesterday, was
gratifyingly large, about one thousand ta-
king dinner and supper. A report put in
circulation, that two prices were being
charged at this Hsll-25 cents for sdmis-
sion, and 80 cents per,,mesl-is false. The
latter price covers everything.

RECEIPTS.
Over $500, as far ss reported, WAS re-
ceived from the sale Of tickets and dOna-
ted articles, on Monday evening, and about
So, 400 on Tuesday. The receipts from
these sources yesterday amounted to near
ly $1,000.
The amount Of cash donations up yes
