Tie Stalls, Of which there are; twelve,
named after the Southern. States, are
ranged down the;sides of the ball, FIVE on
each, side, and the remaining two form a
large central. tent, from the apex of which
rises a triplet Of tri-colored flags. Tri.
eolored drapery also roofs the stalls, and
it being of bunting instead of the ordinary
glazed colico, gives a peculiar soft and rich
appearance, and heightens the effectiveness
Of the harmonious color contrasts. The
stalls are alternately square and octagonai
in shape, tie ootagons having tent or spiral
roofs rising toa point, and capped with
the Confederate flag; and the square ones,
sloping roofs, reaching about half way up,
to the gallery. The counters are covered
with crimson cloth, and arapefy valance,
which runs round the top of each stall,
forms very graceful cornice. The valance
itself is elaborately decorated with blue
margin aada prettily designed red, white
and blue centre, and: above the top margin
is q neat border, terminating in tri.coler
cord, which runs from stall to STALL The
papeiipgs at the bottom Of the stalls are Of
white 'drapery, relieved by blue; and the
panels themselves are divided by gold bead
Ing and Hated at the bottom. At the south
end Of the hall, and in the middle Of. the
aoor, is the auction stand, an octagonally
shaped platform, which is to be at FIRST ap-
propristed for the larger and heavier ar
ticlss. IT, too; is wrapped in crimson, and
bears ingeniously designed combinations Of
eolors: Fhe panels are futed and have
gold mouldings; and the centre is studded
with blue and white rosettes. The central
tent, 70 which we have already referred as
the largest, is. also the most complete; one
half it forms the Kentucky stall, presi-
ded over by the Lady De Houghtor and
Mrs. Oliver, and the other half Gf the Ten.
nsssss stall, as which the Lady NJ. Beres-
ford Hops and Mrs. F, Hull presided.
Various nag Confederate and British
--are displayed throughout the hall; bat
these have been selected with judicious-
ness and taste which has rather tended to
subdue effects, and thus prevent the glare
and gaudiness which probably would other
wise have been apparent. Thus at the apex
Of each of the bell.roofed sectional octagon
tents are small tEiplets-a tri.color Of the
Coufederacy being in the centre, and the
English and French flags on either side
At the stall named Georgia, " which is the
fourth on the lefthand side, the Gag Of the |
ship Georgia is exhibited 4; and it may be.
interesting to mention that this same stall
is presided over by Mrs. Bullock, the wife
Of Captain Bullock, of Che famous man-of-
war The fronts of all the stalls are covered
with small silk banners bearing the stars Of
the Confederacy and the motto Dec Vindice.
On entering the hail from the east lob
by, the first stall on the left hand is "Vir-
ginia," held by the Countess de Dam
pierre, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. NJ. g:

this stall are number of artistically de!

The centre stalls-."Kentucky" and
aTennessee" will probably be found the
most attractive, not only from their position,
but also from the great variety of their con-
tents. '.Kentucky" is kept by the lady
De Houghton and Mrs. G. W.::Oliver. A

pounds. We noticed, also, very elegant
