crowds were still. hurrying Fairward, de-
tcrmined on seeing the elephant, if it
took the last cent
We noticed several additions to the
exhibition to-day, in the way Of ve-
hicles, machinery, etc. A very neat,
durable aud handsome thoroughbrace
express wagon attracted much attention.
1t was manufactured by Mcssrs- Kuhn
Il Adams, of this city, and does them
credit, A neat, light, open buggy was
also on exhibition. We were told it was
manufactured in San Francisco. The
new brick machine, recently Invented by
John S. McCallister, was on show.
This is probably the best brick-maker
ever invented. Quite number of gang
plows, aud combined gang plow and
seed sower, were close by.
But the grand attraction centres IN the
Pavilion. Here the crowd is always
large, aud always Interested aud interest
in". We noticed marked improvement
yesterday here, but to-day the interest
has still more Increased. The number
OF articles On exhibition to-day are great
er than last year, and in quality, finish
and general g make up are much supe-
rior. We undertook to "go through"
the Pavilion, and euumerate every hIng
worthy of notice, but before We got fairly
started we flung up the sponge 1T

per TO give even fair representation OF
IA portion of the articles that specially de-
manded notice. We found ourself ia a
perfect wilderness of beauty, surrounded
by silk embroidery, beaded work, fancy
knitting, crochet work, beautiful worked
cushions, boxes, wax work, pictures,
worsted picture frames, zephyr work
worsted flowers, and SO on to the end OF
the chapter. We specially noticed u
beautiful breakfast shawl-rancy knit
that was handsome enough for an eni-

never be put to any other use than to
look at; some homemade blankets and do.

neatly looking carpet, both rag aud all

erwork, ETC., ETC., which We cannot now
remember. nor have we the space to emu

should be able to enumerate every article
in the Pavilion, but the entries since have
been s.too many" for US, and VIC give it

work-the Fair would be but poor
stick" The show OF preserves, canned
fruit, pickles, cakes, ETC., is a big sue
cess, tar III advance of last Fair. The
ladies have cause to feel proud of their
success, for the success OF the Fair de-
voved upon them, and they came for
ward just in time to save it from utter
and ignominious failure for had they
held back one more day, and failed to
bring forward. their beautiful offerings,
the Fair Tor 1869 would have been u mis-
cradle failure.
The show of vegetables was fuller than
yesterday. Among the list We observed
some huge waternelons, musk kmelons,
fne large Irish potatoes, cabbages, etc.
The display of corn was commendable-
some fine looking ears, reminding us of
old Illinois. Broom corn, timothy seed,
some splendid oats, white bcans-several
varieties-sugarc cured hams, pumpkins,
squashes, etc., were scattered around in
Il Id

harness. looked as though they were
made to do good service.
The show of fruits was good. The
usual variety of apples, tremendous
pears, large and luscious grapes, &C.,
were there. to tempt the eye and enrich
the scene. There were some ten or
fifteen varieties of grapes, the variety
called the "Union Village" taking the
palm for size and flavor
A great many things 20 be seen in the
Pavilion we have omitted to mention,
partly from their escaping our memory,
and partly from want of space. We
advise everybody to go and see for them
selves-it will richly repay the trouble
and cost.
