The Gallery of Fine Arts and Curiosities
= = field in which the finest connoisseur of
art. antique and modern too, might stray
for DAYS with constant and increasing de-
isht and profit; and here too the antiquarS
ian. of either the civil or military cast, will
find thousand wonders Of the olden time.
The Grand Bazaar, however, is the chief
attraction, exhibiting most brilliant and
varied collection of articles of every de-
scription, and Of every style: Jewelry,
dress goods, and cooling creams, robes rich
enough to deck princess and refreshments
to suit the taste Of most fastididious epi-
cure, all SERVED in the most captivating
manner by ladies attired like queens, and
smiling as the month of June.
The Tsblaux, a perfect success, exhibit.
ing scenes of of the choisest kind, accom-
panied by music, vocal and instrumental,
i charming as the songs of Appollo.
These, each and all, are themes for admi
alton and comment beyond our allotted
slimlt>. bat We may add that the entertain
meut IS as laudble in its execution as in
& Its object aud reflects as much credit up
oa tue taste as upon the benevolence OF the
ladi2s and gentlemen who have the control
OF it.
But we should not forget Monitor Hal,
where the fine little craft sails out upon
the waters amid the roar of cannon, and
the shouts cf those who behold it.
Dining Hall ia the centre of attraction
about noon. The dinners served up at
this ball are hard to beat, aud those who
desire to visit the city and spend day in
pleasure can find every accommodation
within the Fair buildings.
The total receipts rom the commence
mant up to Friday night, exceed fifteen
thou u>1ui dollars.
This morning at eight o'clock the Sun.
day School children Of the city will visit
tue Fair, and carry out their part of the
programme ~
4 The statue Of Washington which was
stolen at Lexington the other day by Gen.
Hunter will be placed in the Fair building
to-day. 1t is a full life size aud will be
worth the price of admission.
The Tableaux in connection with the
Fair, we're again exhibited on Saturday eve
ming, t. a denseIy crowded house, and gave
unlimited satisfaction to all who witnessed
them. An exhibition of this kind, on SO
grand aud perfect scale, has seldom been
witnessed here or elsewhere. All of the
tableaux were very natural, especially those
of "Seven up" and militia before and after
seeing the enemy in which the young
gentleman gave unmistakable evidence that
they were well posted in these popular
games of chance They will be repeated
again to>night, and all who wish admittance
should go early.
