Since leaving the grounds yesterday 81.
ternoon At two o'clock, the entry business
has been goiag- on yspidly. At the pres
<nt Writing il is ,epossible to tell the ex
tent Of the entries, but it is said that the
entries to day, at noon, were nearly double
those Of the Fair Of 1864. This is highly
encouraging, though there are many art'-
eles shssnt that ve should prsknsl . have
seen on the ground. :.
The department devoted to the display Of
Farm machinery is pretty handsomely rep
resented.

IIoyt displays some elegant musical in
strumen.s-panos and mclcdeons.
The tabled devoted to pantry stores are
not well filled. We saw no butter, no
cheese, and . slim display Of other goods.
We are told that the weather has been OK :
tremely unfavorable for making butter
cheese is scarce article wines, jellies,
etc., look slim.
