| A0AnB look AT the dining hRIlI We
were surprised to find it go large and we'll
adapted for the purpose. The tables are ar.
ranged in regular frat class hotel style, aud
everything pertaining to the hall is only
equallsd in neatness and cleanliness by
the little Swiss cottage to which we have
before alluded. Everything which the
market affords is supplied to the hungry
public in abundance, and the tables are
attended, not by bungling walters, but by
fair, skilIfuI and careful hands.
MONITOR HALL.
The hall devoted to the exhibition of the
little Monitor is on the opposite corner of
the street from the Fair buildings, in the
Atheneum prison yard. A canal is con-
structed around a mound or sort of bluff,
in which The Monitor moves. Several can
non are planted upon the mound which are
supposed to be directing their Ere upon
the little cheese box. The little Monitor,
We are assured, is perfect model of the
Ericsson craft. Any and every single part
of the model, multiplied by twenty -four,
will produce the original Monitor. On
Tuesday evening locomotive lights were
used in the hall, but the light was not
sufficient to exhibit the iron craft to ed-
vantage. Last evening the hall was sup
piled with gas and the show was more sat-
isfaotory. In this hall there is q shooting
gallery and q refreshment saloon. The
stock in the Fair buildings having been
insured for $l5, 900, the Managers are re-
quired to keep Ere engine on the ground,
and the Rough and Ready engine occupies
position in Monitor Hall.
THE SURROUNDINGS.
The shows and swings and the other
contrivances which used to accompany
agricultural fairs and ctrcuses, are spring
ing up around the Fair buildings, and ap-
pear to be doing profitable business
Already the sides of the buildings and
fences are filed with the handbills and
placards of enterprising dealers 10 patents.
