WHAT WE SAW AT THE FAIR.

F~ear Stone.
manufactured here, under the superintend-
ence OF Newton Richards. Esq, famous Tor
his granite work, is enough to show some
thing substanti tial and good, as well as new
Besides the tine ornamental and solid speci-
mems at the Fair, it is to be seen IN the |
front of No. l3s Engine House on Perdldo |
street, in Mr.. Adams fence on Esplanaoe |

Their display Of tools Of all descriptions
and of building materials OF al klnus III
their line is very fine aud not 10 oe sur
passed anywhere. Indeed, they are more
thorough and complete in their assortment
than anv other estab .ishmeut with which
we have become acquainted.
y We would particularly Call the attention
Of visitors to the Fair to their specimens OF
cutlery. which are eXQutsltely tine; Inuch OF
il IS silver plated, and as rich as II 1t was
silver itself, SIS it Is to ali appearance.
They evidently aim to surpaSs every body IN
the richness as we'll as variety ana excel
lence Of their goods.
Looking again into Department X, we no
ticed that there was Infinite variety, as well
as superior excellence, in the syrups, Cor
Q1ais, ETC., OF
G.. w. Dunbar .e Son.
They manufacture every sort and kind OF
cordial which is made Ill France, OF the tin
est materials, and with the most exact tol-
lowing of the formula used there. Ihey
have all the implements and appliances
with every process Of manipulation known
to the notwithstanding art in that country, SO
that nothing of the kind can be imported
from France to surpass those they make
They do not tear competition III France
itself, for the fact is, theirs are French cor.
dials and syrUps; made here, 1t Is tue, pul
/ by French 0istillers, with French lmPie-
meGts, and with tie same material rs n
! France.
| AS there are duties on a these things,
! they are able to manufacture their ceTdials
| ana syrups SO low that they can turn
! ish the most perfect fac SMILES OF the
French article ut g much lower price IL
| New York, or any other pors OF entry, tnan
| they can be imported.
viii be seen that even importers, and
| especislly will consumers find 1t TO their
| advantage, to buy the French cordlals and
| syruBs of Messrs. Dunbar u son, the only
| manufacturers OF French cordials, etc, IN
| the United States.
| j. Il. knights Engines.
! MI J. s. knight, an old dealer IN ma
| chinery. is about to renew his connection
| herewith, and began yesterday by putting
| up portable horse power engine OF the
| make OF the
! yystertoyvn Steam Engine Company,
! OF which he was formerly the agent. The
| engine got out Of the ship at ten o'clock yes.
| terdav, and got to the grounds at halt past
! twelve. and in four hours afterward, with
! the labor only of All unskilled man and boy,
! he had 1t up, steam Up and the engine al
| work. He was so well satisfied that the
| company would send everything N the box,
| and so complete as to put up at once, that
| he did not fail to act on this presumption.
| Sueaking of useful things reminds us OF
| the effective and complete COOKING ranges OF
| French and American make, exhibited BY
liable IL Dalton,
| of No. ll5 POydras street. These are very
| large complete and extensive, and Tor EottIs
! and tiyst.class private houses, boarding
! houses. ETC, are Just the thing. In mere
| stoves we are great people but We have
never got up TO the French III ranges.
| Messrs. liable Il Dalton, however, have II
| the Times Stove great thing, Which is eX.
| pected TO win and then their great show OF
| tin and iapanned ware and Their Asbestos
roofing are universally admired. We believe
! in all these things, and mean to give them
7 much attention, trusting that our nlen05
! viii do likewise. and look into those at Ine
| fair.
These beautiful counterparts of oil paint
ings have been so pressed upon Tor close
| examination that q railing has been put up
to prevent intrusion. The moni;ion, hands
off," to be seen everywhere, didn seen
potent here, for a ] wished to touch the
seeming flesh OF ''Beatrce Cenci,' and the
LADY of the Lake" or to clasp the Rock
OF Ages and thus the crowd had 10 be
Tended Of.
There is nothing more perfect or exact
than these limitations Of oil paintings, which
are thus ind. fniLeIy multiplied for the beu-
eft of all lovers Of art, however poor they
be.
Our mention of Mr.. Pescays merits and
his manufacture of silver ware has been
warmly commended by al who read 1t.
The workman is worthy not only OF his hire,
but Of the credit OF his work, and TINS ls
what the New Orleans silver ware manutac-
turpr. Charles Pesca7. should win. His
beautiful. plain and chaste ware, its infinite
variety and fine finish merit premium OF
the 1ir5t class. We shall think strange OF
the Fair authorities il they do not award II
| to him. Those who are acquainted WITH
the silver ware manufacturer IN Mr. u. A.
Tyler's establishment, Mr.. Pescay, will aQ
! preciate our remarks.
Before we forget it. we would call etten-

Among other things of small size but
: great usefulness. there is exhibited in de-
