SECOND DAY.

and every department is full. There never
has been such display since the Society
was organized.
Floral Hall is the chief point of attrac
tion for the ladies. There is indeed such Il
display of floral beauties as was never seel.
at county fair before, and we doubt if tn,
State Fair ever matched it. Underwood &
Co., have an immense collection of beauti-
ful plants on exhibition. 1t is very rare so
great variety of plants, of so many new
kinds, is shown by one firm or Individual.
At the north entrance, west side, OF
! Floral Hall, Drs. Beauman & Dunn, No
81 South High street, exhibit an oval case
containing samples of the new porcelain.
plates and teeth combined, which hav.
been greatly perfected and beautified BY
an improvement by DIR. Dunn. The vul-
canized rubber plates heretofore in gener.
al use have proved Objectionable and an,
healthy when worn in the mouth as a base
for artificial teeth. Many persons who
have worn rubber plates have suffered al
most constantly with inflamed mouths.
diseased lungs and stomach. To obviate
this porcelain plates have been substituted.
Fifteen years of experience have demon
strated the porcelain plate to be more per-
feet and less Objectionable than the rubber.
Drs. Beauman 6 Dunn have the exclusive
right for the counties of Franklin, Madi-
son, Pickaway and Fairfield, and invite the
especial attention of visitors to the Fair to
their specicimens of this valuable dental
Improvement.
d A novel and interesting piece of parlor
furniture is the Revolving Photographic
Castle, exhibited in Floral Hall, by j. B
Page. 1t ia designed to be useful as well
as ornamental, and will speedily supersede
the Photographic album. 1t is made of va
rious sizes, and will hold securely from 30
to so and 100 pictures in such man ner as
to b viewed with one quarter the labor
that is required to turn over the leaves of
an album. The history of the invention is
curious as well as interesting. 1t was de-
signed by Mr.. E. B. Sturtevant, of Penn,
who whitfield it from wood while on Nor
ris Island, during the bombardment of
Charleston, S. C. 1t should be seen to be
appreciated. All orders for this quaint
castle should be left at No. Opera Build
ing.
Mrs. Lofand also has fine display of
plants. This lady also exhibits one of the
most complete miniature houses ever seen.
She calls it a floral ornament, but 1t is a
re sidence made of rice, furnished through
out with bay windows, in which is tiny
wardian case full of growing plants. The
walks around and in front of the house a.e
made of rice. The yard is made of moss to
repr esent grass, and set with trees and
m iniature plants. This is one of the at
tractive points of the attractive Floral
Hall.
Just over Mrs Lofland's display of flow
ers hang the fine photographs, ferreotypes,
&c, made by that very talented young ar
tist, j. NJ. Elliott. Some of his pictures
are most beautiful. A ferreotype of little
girl, daughter OF Mr.. Collier, most espe-
claliy attracts our attention. The ladies,
we observe, are most charmed with a pic
ture of Spivins hanging among other
beauties in Mr.. Elliott's collection, aud
such expressions as What a dearr
y Isn't he sweet" and the like, are quite
common.
In the Hail for Farm Products, we notice |
our friend George S. Innis has an unpar-
alleled display of potatoes, beets,carrots and
the like. He has raised lot of foreign
from seed furnished him by j.
Il. Klippart, of the State Agricultural So
city, which caused much comment and at
tracted much attention. Mrs. Innis has a |
large and choice lot of canned fruits. Mr.,
lnnis and his estimable lady have some 200
articles on exhibition.
On entering Mechanics Hall from the
main gate, the visitor is struck by the ex-
tensive show of household furnishing hard |
ware, contributed by Atkins & Stewart, No.
20s South High street. Prominent in the
catalogue is the justly celebrated Stewart
Air-tight Cooking Stove, which is famous
for doing more and better cooking, with less |
labor and half the wood, than any other
stove In existence. Its advantages are
manlioid and must be seen to be realized.
Lawson's Revertable Flue Hot Air Furnace
is another striking feature of this collec-
tion. This furnace is adapted for wood or
coal and is in all respects unapproachabIe.
Messrs. Akin & Stewart also exhibit the
Champion Clothes Wringer, the rollers of
which are longer than those of any other
cog-wheel wringer for the same price
Call upon the exhibitor on the grounds
printed descriptions.
Messrs. Mcdonald and Shilling, propri-
etors of the Capital City Foundry, have on
in Mechanics Hall, an assort-
ment of the Wilson steel plow, which, for
neatness, simplicity, strength and durabil-
ity, cannot be surpassed by any plow ex-
tant. These plows are designed for all
work, and are warranted to do good execu-
tion in either sod or loose ground They
will clean and scour in any ground where
steel plow is used. We will convince any
person who will examine these plows that.
for any and all purposes, they are fifty Der
cent. cheaper than any other plow now in
the market. We are constantly receiving
testimonials from parties using this plow
fully substantiating all we have said in re-
gard to them. Farmers who attend the fair
should by all means examine these plows
before leaving.
The west end of Mechanics Hall is
adorned by choice assortment of soaps
by Geo. j. Ha rsch & Co.,
No. 600 West Mound st. The attractive
feature of the lot is cake of CASTLE soap
over five hundred pounds, sur
mounted by cake of fine toilet soap
one hundred and fifty, beautifully
and in contrast with the.ponder-
Gus foundation. The collection also con-
tains five boxes of fine soaps manufactured
by the same firm. These consist of Ban
