General Garfield, the applause was loud and
continuous. When it had subsidsd, Gov.
Anderson introduced General HsintEleman,
who'oame forward, and was received with the
widest and most unboundsd enthusissm.-
He excused himself from speechnaking, and
remarked that these exhibitions supported
the army in the field as well as its reserves.
Lieutenant Governor Anderson was called
on to supply the place Of the General, and
did so in very felicitous strain OF humor.

mystery. Why is this man, who never was
frightened before, alarmed noW7 l have the
key. It isn't you that he is afraid Of point

made him bashful. Governor Anderson

the hero Of Williamsburg and Fair Oaks

the Sanitary Fair.
/
The various halls Of the Fair were throw
open to the public at seven in the evening
They were fitted up in most brilliant style
and display a spIendor and magnifcsnee il
detail that has never been equalled in Ou
city. Our crowded space fOrbids any ex
tended comment, this morning, though quire
of soribblemsnts lie upon our desk aTaitin
insertion. But the transcondent beauties @
the various halls are by no means evsnsscent
and tomorrow We shall be more full in ou
description. Floral Hall is fairy palace
in which fairies are found, more beautiful
than Titanis. The Bazaar is q Eondrou
collection of all things strange, romantic
brilliant, unexpected and magnificent. Tn
Refreshment Hall is spiendidly supple
with dainties, and girls more beautiful ths
the Houris that minister to Mussulmen j
Paradise, attend the thrOng of visitors WI
pour in upon them. The Legislature az
peared here several times, and we're welcome
right loyalty. Tho Rsfreshment Hall ha
done big business.
The Manufacturers Hall has not yet bee
completed, but will probably be thrown OPe
to the public some time this afternoon.
The Museum and Fine Art Hsll,i the up
Der story Of the Court House were not throw
open to the public until yesterday evening
owing to the immense amount of work to
put into their various details. Their mos
rare and interesting relics and paintings "
shall try to give some sketch of, tomorrow
The attendance yesterday, and MOnda
night, was large, but not opprsssively sO.-
The scene in the bazaar, with its brilIiar
booths, its gaily dressed thrOngI, its flashing
fancy dresses, and its myriad of attractiv
articles, is most magnificent. Floral Hal
embowersd in green, is less brilliant, bu
more lively. Both have been we'll attended
All the Halls open at ten in the morning
and close at ten in the evening" most sen
Sible arrangement.
TIE LEGISLATORS
apparently enjoyed their visit very much
They are very temperate set of law-mak
srs, and, we are informed, pstroniEsd bal
and liquors less than most delegations Of
similar character. Only one bottle of win
was drank at the Legislative dinner. The
are a very jolly party after all, as one wOul
have thought on observing them in tn
"Bowsr of Rest" Monday evening and list
sning to the songs of "charlis BabcOck" an
the speeches of Hills Of Medina and otbe
"gravs and reverend Assembly-men.
