SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT FAIR.
Second Day.

| we were somewhat surprised upon
visiting the Fair grounds yesterday
afternoon to find that but few ad-
ditions had been made TO either Floral
or Mechanical Halls, and are re-
luctantly compelled to believe that the
exhibition will not come up to that
of last year except in the way of
horses, )of which there is a goodly as
sortment, and of very fair quality. J.
ss5In Mechanical Hall there had. been
added very fair assortment of fine
stoves and few other articles, but
the hall still looks bare and empty.
A few more implements ola labor-sav-
| ing character have been added to the
display outside, and Floral Hall has
received a few additions in the shape
of pictures, needlework, fruit, vegc-
tables, blankbooks. preserves, jellies
&c., &C., but there is painful plenty
of room for more gun
Nor was there the improvement in
the attendance that we had antici-
pated, and this is to be wondered at
al the more from the fact that the
afternoon was especially delightful
and pleasant. There was, to be sure.
an increase over Tuesday, but five
hundred. we think, would comprise
the whole number in attendance.
We are happy to notice that the
patent medicine man and the man
with the happy family and grand
collection of rare animals have ar
rived, and the voices of each are to
be heard ringing out on the circum,
ambient air. All the booths are oe-
cupied, and there is superabundance
of bologna, cheese, boiled ham,
crackers, bread, cider, wine, and
lager BEER " saEE5sI EzsE4
