The second day OF the State Fair was
great and decided improvement on the first.
The number of entries, as well as of visit
ors, was largely increased, and the day,
though warm, as all the days in this month
have been, was pleasant, with gentle breezes
occasionally tanning the atmosphere. The
Halls, Which promised 50 well on Tuesday,
wore, In general, a greatly improved aspect
yesterday, and the general opinion of visit
ors was, that the Fair this year, whatever
mightjbe the result as to the actual receipts |
lealized, surpassed in point Of exhibition
in almost every respect the Fair of last
year. J,..'., ...,,., ya4,.o9sib
Having already described the general ap-
pearance of the Halls, and briefly noticed
other departments pertaining to the Faif,
we shall content ourselves with such noti-
ces as were suggested by our visit to the
grounds yesterday. zp ui m1 ,mliGrp .n1i
We found the outside shows Of various
descriptions, and having innumerable
tesdue devices, in full blast, with criers of
stentorian lungs to herald their wonders to
the gazing and gaping crowds! The keep
ers'of refreshment stands, both inside and
outside the tinclosure, seemed to be no less
active, and to be generally pretty literally
patronized. In the afternoon the grove
was alive, in almost every part, with living,
moving humanity--men, women, children
youthAall seeming to be perfectly at
home, and enjoying the sights and sounds,
of which there was an endless Variety qo'
In addition to other musical attractions,
we noticed Hemmersbachs Band, Of this
city, on the Grounds yesterday, playing
those delightful airs, with that fine skill
and effect, for which this Band isso famous.
We understand that the Band have been
engaged to remain and play on the Grounds
during the continuance of the Fair. Their
music will add greatly to the qualification
and pleasure of those attendibglthe Fair!
The machinery in Power Hall was in ac-
tive operation. yesterday, under the able
superintendent, Mr.. Wm Lenox- 1t was
an interesting spectacle tozyiew the move
ments of the various machines there onex-
hibitiOn, but we have not thespace at COM
mand to enter into particulars, other than
may be found In special notices in this

Floral Hall wore a greatly improved as
pect yesterday. The superintendent, 7.
W. Tallmadge, Esq, has arranged the va
rious contributions to this Hall, ina most
tasteful and beautiful order. The, ,speci-
mems OF cut flowers, boquets, &C.. were
very fine, and elected general admiration
The Fine Art Hall is certainly vastly i'm.
proved upon what it was at the exhibition
last year. Its superiority is acknowledged
on all hands, both as regards the number
and quality of 1.-The almost innumerablt
specimens of the rare, curious and beautiful
with which the Hall is filled. 1t was thu
grand center of attraction for visitors yes

The Hall allotted to the exhibition offarn
products was yesterday, as we anticipated
well filed and presented q show highly
creditable. We noticed, among othe
things, splendid specimens of cheese, iron
Geauga and Lake counties. Some ofthese
entered by A. BARTLETT Of, Twelve Mills
Geauga county, as sweepstakes, weighed OF
an average, 65 lbs. each, and excited genera
admiration. Mr.. Bartlett had manufactured
we understood, over 5000 cheese of this de
scription, the present season. '' o'0H
The Hall assigned as the repository o
Domestic Manufactures, presented a, still
more fascinating appearance than on Tues
day. Nothing can exceed the beauty, skill
and workmanship manifested In, many o
the articles on exhibition in this Hall. w
think It may well vie with almost any SINH
lar display that has been attempted at an!
Fair In the country. The splendid chairs
tables, sofas, &C., to which we alluded yes
terday, were manufactured, not by Hahn
Miller, as our types had 1t, but by Hahn d
Bellows, of this city. Inthis Hall, we OBJ
served, handsome samples otSteel Barrele'
Rifles, English Twist Double Shot Guns
&C., manufactured by G. Slebert, of thi
city, manufacturer Of guns, rifles, reyol
vers, &C. '''" \ N.iTstt;ss1IiI .snst y" 10 wv
