NORTHERN OHIO SANITARY
FAIR.
ANOTHER DAY OF GLORIOUS
SUCCESS.

Yesterday, the FIFTH day Of the great San
isary Fair, was most favorable in its genial
sunshine to an attendance upon the Fair, and
accordingly large crowds were throughout
the entire day and evening passing in and
out of the various Halls, the numbers being
fully equal, if not lsrgsr, than on the previous
days. The detailed descriptions already
given Of ss h Department Of the Fair rem
dsrs it unnecessary that We should do more
than mention in gsnsr l termp, and briefly,
the doingsat the ssvernl Halls, together with
such incidents SIS may be of interest.
THE BAZAAR.
This brilliant Hall, where beauty reigns
supreme, was throughout the day scene Of
the gaysst and most joyous ch7ractsr, being
thrOnged from the opening to the close
The booths are daily growing richer and
more attractive by large additions to their
contents, and the earnest and energetic Ia
dies who preside over them, whose psrsua-
sive smiles are irresistible, are doing graf
flying busiress' Among the sales yesterday
were some of the rishsst fabrics on exhibi-
ton.
Among other objects of interests; We no.
tiesd that the Gazette Office has pIaOed upon
its parspets formidable array Of artillery,
the threatening appearance Of which is
guarantee that that establishment will be
" let alone" These models are the dOna-
tions Of Messrs. Rudd, Knapp & Co., pro-
prietoTs Of the Fort Pitt Works at Pittsburg,
now so celebrated for the manufacture of
those artillery monsters, the Is and 2O-ineh
guns. One Of these models is made to the
scale Of one inch to the foot Of the Dahlgren
15-inch Navy gun, which throws L ball
weighing 45O pounds. Another is a model
to tho same scale, of the l5-inoh Rodiuan
army gun, carrying the sAms weight bslI.
The third is the model of the great 2O-inGd
gan, now being made at the above works,
which viii throw a ball weighing I,lOO
pounds, or more than one-haR ton, ball
which will require six ordinary men to lift
This last is the largest and most powerful
gun ever built. It will require 100 pounds
Of powder to every charge. It is designed
to mount on seme Of the New York harbOr
defenses. No iron clad now constructed can
resist it. The models on exhibition at the
GaEstte Office were made from pieces Cut of
from the trunnions of the 2O-ineh gun.
The smallest model, which is named the
" bsby-waksr," is parlur ornament belong
ing to Miss Mary C. BryEton.
In connection with the above, It Is proper
to say that Mr.. Knapp, of the above Arm,
has donated $3.50 in cash to the Fair.
The brush Of the finest artist only
could give anything like an idea of the
beauty and splendor of the BAEzar,
whom thTonged with It's myriads of visitors,
and lighted up by hundreds of gas jsts.-
The rich tapestry, the many colored trim
mings, the vast collection of beautiful fancy
articles of every pattern and hue, and ar
ranged FOR view in the most tasteful and
effective manner, and the blooming and joy
Gus faces Of the booth-tsnders, in various
costumes, make up scene of gorgeous mag
nihcsnce that the pen must utterly fail to
portray.
FINE ART HALL.
This Hall is daily throngsd by the admir-
ers Of art in painting and ststusry, in each
of which thers is most attractive collection.
The attendance yeEterday, up to the hour of
4 O'Clock P. n, was over thirteen hundred.
Additions are being constantly made to the
collection, among which we note four very
fre paintings contributed ysstsrdsy. One,
Z" Christ blessing the Little Children" by
DOlPh, is en- exquisite conception of this
beautiful subject, and does infinite credit to
this Worthily celebrated artist. Another
" RydEl Water, the Home Of Wordsworth"
Is charming view Of the cherished poets |
home, where his rich and fertile fancy and |
mind found food for the many
beautiful things he gave the world. It is by
wm. Hart, and the property Of Jas. N
