GENERAL.
Upon the Fair Ground there is
more than it is possible to think of,
and to write up the articles is a task
utterly useless to attempt.
FINE ART HALL
Is magnificent and its tasty arrangeme mt
does credit to those having it in charge
Beautiful pictures, fine fruit, splendid flow
ers and natures own handiwork in shrub
berry abound. As all the articles were
entered by numbers, the Superintendents
were unable to give us the names of but few
of the owners. We mention those we were
able to learn, and will only say that each
aud every article on exhibition there was
worthy of notice.

MANUFACTURERS HALL.
In this Hall we met with the same trouble
We did in the other, but we got all the in
formation possible. In grain and seeds the

Irishman go back on Ireland, Cabbage that
would drive German crazy and pumpkins
thai would cause a Yankee-of whom we are
one-to exclaim, "Neow deon't you think
them would make sassy punkin pies p The
display beat the one at the State Fair
In the needle-work department of this Hall /,
