As was anticipated by every one the
| crowds in attendance at the County Fair
yesterday were in excess of any preceding
Taking up the details of the exhibition as
given by US, in Wednesdays issue of the
| STATESMAN, we have only to add greatly
increased number of attractions in each
department. Floral Hall, under the skill
| full touches of George D. Freeman, Esq :,
assisted by DIR. C. P. Landon and number
of ladies, is now even more enchanting in
its arrangement than ever before, and yet
we find the cheerful laborers in this de-
partment still busily engaged in adding
new and gorgeous beauties r to
to all its parts. There is no more delight
full spot in all the spacious grounds
nor any which commands such never end
ing needs of praise, as are bestowed on
Floral and Fine Art Hall. And most wor-
thily are they bestowed. Aside from the
floral decorations, many specimens of the
fine arts have appeared since our first no.
tice, some of them of a high order of mer-
lit, and all possessing such a degree of at
Traction as to create almost a continual
blockade of the thoroughfares on the part
|of crowds of ardent admirers. The imme-
date vicinity of Floral Hall, at about the
hour of ten yesterday morning, presented
a most enlivening picture, with nothing to
mar the outline, nothing to detract from
the feeling OF delightful satisfaction
.beaming from the countenances of the
hundreds of men, women and children
present. The soft breeze, the genial sun
light the delightful atmosphere, the
splendid floral display the sweet strains of
music were common themes, discoursed as
well by residents of the city as by the
losts of our friends from the country
round about, and as we looked upon the
'ngaging picture we felt that had the peo-
pie but the disposition to draw away from
the active cares of life and unite on such
occasions much more frequently, life's
grim battle would be shorn of many of its
;errors. and the bonds of common brother
mood between. man and man would be
united much more firmly than now. ,i i
Leaving the delightful precincts of Flo
raj Hall, we entered once more the busy
walls of Mechanics Hall, where we looked
at the s1e-HDGi gaa FseT -
is 7s@@ STONE SEWER PIPES, aEf-rs-1 1
manufactured by Mr.. Joseph Guitner, from
clay of superior quality, found in this
neighborhood. This clay is remarkably
smooth, tough and compact, and is capable
of being moulded into pipes of junsurpass-
ed worth. o.. .sEar--r.I
DIR. j. BEAUMAN SIG e7@'
Exhibits in the north wing of Floral Hall
some magnificenr specimens of gold, rub
Der and porcelain work in Dentistry. These
specimens are of the finest description OF
workmanship, and add largely to DIR. Beau
mans reputation, which is established al
ready as one of the most accomplished op-
erative Dentists in the State. The Doctors
rooms are at No. 81 South High street, over
Sayage's jewelry establishment. 2dl so

ieS, economy OF money and space, healthtul-
ness, and order, foritselfas being just

MILLINERY GOODS. Tr5Iaye
! CIV. Simmons, of millinery Headquar-
ters," Opera House Block, has, without
doubt, the largest and best display of mil
linery ever shown at any of our Fairs.
/ His three cases are constantly surround
ed by the fairest portion of the Fair, and
their encomiums are well earned, orilov-
lier bonnets, hats, flowers and feathers, our
eyes never rested upon, and if this is fair
sample (and we have no doubt it is) of his
goods, then we advise every lady in the
county to visit Mr.. S. at his mammoth
wholesale and retail store in n the Opera
Block, and take home with them some
specimens of his taste in millinery, for his
taste is undoubted, he having been in the
business for twenty-five years.
THE HANNAH MIL MISSION TENT,
Near the east end of Mechanic Hall, is
commanding universal attention, by reason
of the admirable nlanner'in which the lady
attendants are managing its affairs. The
ladies are serving prime oysters, hot ,cof-
fee, cakes, ETC., and we know of no more
desirable retreshment place on the ground.
AS the object is. one of charity, it deserves
to be well supported.
SPLENDID DISPLAY OF BUGGIEs an
Is seen in the collection of Messrs Peters,
Benns g. Co., near the west end of Mechan-
ics' Hall. One need not go to New York
to look for superior workmanship in all of
the departments OF carriage building, as
the display of Messrs. p, B. & Co., here at
home,z challenges competition. The new
firm start out with the determination to
succeed, and their fine work on exhibition
speaks volumes in their favor. 4..s ,v,sr
