pect was unusually animated and brilliant.
Drafting, grab-bsgs, and gift enterprises
were resorted to on all sides, and the e1-

CONTEMPLATED sALE OF THE BUILDING.
We learn that gentleman is in town from
Pittsburgh, negotiating for the purchase o.
the Sanitary Fair Building, as it stands,
for the use Of the forthcoming Fair in that
city. As lumber has risen very greatly since
the erection Of the building, and is very
muoh higher in Pittsburgh than in Cleveland,
and as the lumber Of the building is now
properly seasoned, 1t can bs sold for hand
some advance on original rates Of purchase.
II sold, the building will be taken down by
sections, and removed to Pittsburgh, whore
it will be re-ereeted on the same plan as the
present building.
