worth passing notice.
The display of flowers was said, by
several, to be superior TO that made
at the State Fair the first Of the
month. Messrs. hewitt and Dunk
are entitled to great credit for their
taste and skill Mr.. hewitt ia par
ticular, had an immense variety of
rare and beautiful plants and flowers,
which attracted very general admira-
ton. Mr.. hewitt is one of the
most enthusiastic and successful Flor
lists in the State of Indiana, and if the
managers of our next Fair will give
him little more room he will make
a display that will be the attractive
feature of the exhibition.
In the fruit department, Mr., VIM.
Towards variety of apples known
as the Roman Beauties, were the Job
served of all observers" We are in
debted to him for sample of them.
Mr.. Towards success in cultiyating
fruit, proves that Vanderburgh County
possesses the soil and climate necessary
for the best varieties of fruit, and all
that is wanted is the attention and
care of our farmers TO make our
county and city become one of the
finest fruit markets in the world.
Few persons visited the Fair
Grounds without seeing and admiring
a splendid marble monument frenl the
marble establishment of Mr.. CASA
want, on Main Street, near the Il. &
@. Depot. This monument consisted of
large marble shaft or column draped
with the American flag, sword and fix
lures, all chisseled out of the marble |
with consumate taste and skill. The |
pedestal had large wreath of laurel |
and oak leaves carved on it within |
which was the inscription indicating |
the officer whose memory the shaft is |
intended to commemorate. We never |
saw a much finer specimen of monu-
mental work, and Mr.. Cassavant did |
himself credit in manufacturing it.
