FLORAL HALL.
The Exhibition in Floral Hall was
considerably smaller than that of
last year. The articles displayed
were few in number, but many or
the most of them were of superior
quality, and the exhibitors deserve
much credit for their willingness to
brave the cold, and to meet any
discouragment that this part Of the
Fair might not be a total failure
OF fancy work there was but a small
display, but all the articles were
good. Some bead work by Miss "a
NJ. Fuller of Bradford we thought
very fine, we also noticed some wors
ted work by Miss COrinne Leavitl
and Miss Mary Witt, and some nice
tucked skirts by Miss ]. Ourrier
