similar demand. At moderate computa-
ton, it is estimated that about eight thou
sand persons pstronized this branch of
the Fair.
WEDNESDAY.
On this day the receipts for tickets were
$4,000. The following are miscellaneous
matters of interest that were noted of
Wednesdays Fair:
5HE SANITARY KSIcKEKBocKER KITCHEN,
with which subject we originally started.
We have given above what might seem an
uncslled-for picture of the manners and
life of the old inhabitants Of Manns:hstta;
but, inssmuch as the committee Of ladies
having the Knickerbocker Department OF
the Fair in charge intend TO illustrate as
well the psrlor and kitchen Of old times,
the information supplied will be found to
be not inappropriate. The Knickerbocker
Department occupies the room, Just east of
the International Hall, Or about oae-ha1f
Of the connection between the two main
buildings. It is about seventy-fve feet in
length by thirty feet in width. The cell
ing is low, after the Dutch fashion; but
the windows are large, contrary to sll des-
criptions we have read.
At the west end is the fireplace, open
and spacious, with huge chimney run
ming up through the roof Of the building.
A crane is arranged in the fireplace to
boil "suppon," q Kniokerbooker dish,
consisting Of indian meal. Behind this
will be located the ranges, where most Of
the cooking will be done. The entire room,
except the doors, wsinscots and windows,
will be painted in buff or yellow color.
The doors, Wsinscots and windows will be
painted blue, while the chimney will be a
representation Of stone work. The eastern
third of the room will be rallied off to pro.
tect the tables, which will be spread, from
the rush of people, and also to socommc-
date those who may not desire to eat, but
simply to see This rallied off portion will
be ornamented with appropriate pictures
ofremarksble Dutchmen and Kuickerbock-
er heroes, whose deeds have come down to
posterity. The mighty Wouler Won Twill
Ter, Aetrus Stuyvessnt and the Orange
family will be among the ikenesses which
will be exhibited on the walls.
THE SWORD.
The sWoIds for the army and navy off
GERS who shall receive the greatest num-
Der Of votes at ihe close Of the fair, are
continually surrounded by sdmiring
crowds, great numbers Of whom deposit
their dollar and cast their vote for their
fsvorite. At the close Of the fair for the
evening, General Mcclellan had received
482 votes, and General Grant 435. The
vote for the navy sword was pretty evenly
divided between Admiral Farrsgut and
Dupont and Commodore Rowan.
The New York press is wild with the
enthusiasm. Tho whole city is in blaze
Of excitement. The New York Times says:
1t has been said that Americans are re-
marksbIe for their power Of adapting
themselves to circumstances; but no such
crushing proof of the fact has ever been
furnished as at the Great Fair. To-day
will doubtless give further and as yet IN.
psrslleled evidence of the same fact. We
have not only the longest rivers and the
biggest forests in the oountry-we cannot
only jump higher, dive deeper, and spread
ourselves over more ground than any 9TH
er people-but we can wedge ourselves in
tighter than all creation.
The.New York Herald says:
No words can do justice, however, to the
generosity, the beneVOlence the munifc
ence Of the citizens Of our own metropolis
and Of the country around. The charities
during this war have been unexampled il
liberslity. In the first year Of the cOnhic
we kept list Of the contributions to va
riOus benevolent purposes from the differ
ent sections Of the country, and the amount
Of money realized was over fifty millioni
Of dollars.
