i,s earlier days. Rembrandt's. Studio, Flemst
Pleasures, ]. C. Calhoun, painted by Harding In
1874 and Dead Birds by Charles Fraser are paint
nes that attract attention BY their merit, and ore
i wen worth close examination.
The table Of Messrs. Walker, Evans Cogswel

and hiehly.hnlshed articles on exhibition. The

The small table near arrests the attention OF all
N edical and phosphate men BY the bright colors
Of its auIds extracts, exlrs. &c. It Is furnished
almost entire by Tflden Co., Of New York, and
Rosengartln Son, Of Philadelphia.
Coming next to the table Of Mr.. F. Won santen,
we found several baby carriages Of various sizes
and accommodating qualities; next the babies,
with blue eyes and pink eyes, brown hair and
black, blondes and brunettes, with all the latest
inventions Of voice and closing rf eyes; then the
toys Of all sorts and kinds, bronzes. vases, &C.,
and lastly, several pieces OF domestic ornaments
worked by ladies Of this c,ty-al beautiful to see,
and attracting crowds Of the younger portion Of
the visitors.
The adjoining table Of Mr.. ". G. whilden has
but few articles at present, but bids fair to be one
Of the attractions Of the hall. The beautiful mini.
ature yacht of Mr.. R. q. Jones next came before
US, and with the wonderful little steamer, with
complete engine and machinery. built by Mr.. ]. s.
Sheppard, delayed US for some time. Near them
is case on exhibition by Dir. F. ]. Porcher. COZ
lalning several canes. ornaments Of horn and ALL
gators teeth, and lastly, something made from
splinter from the original fagstafr OF Fort Sum-
ter. A large and splendid collection Of carpet
specimens hang near, with mats and rugs OF gor-
geeus coloring and beautiful texture.
The specimens OF art exhibited In the next case
are no doubt OF great interest to dentists, but
their usefulness and shining neatues5 OF the In
struments did not attract many OF the visitors
who had all probably seen them at more trying
time. The sets of false teeth were especially
avoided, aud few persons seem to know OF the
existence OF such articles. In the case OF DR..
T. F. ChupeIn we noticed a medal, awarded
by the Institute Fair 10 1919. The two stalks
OF cotton, exhibited by Mr.. r. K. Vance, at.
tracted considerable notice, and spoke volumes In
favor of the phosphates which he had used. The
statement OF last years crop, made by this gentle
man, Is model to planters in general, on ac-
count Of the smalness Of his expenditures and
the abundance his yield.
The small house near by. madesby hrs.>E' s..
Ha,sey. Is one OF the wonders OF the fair, and a
monun ent or feminine ingenuity and taste. IL
Is made OF sea shells, completely furnished with

garden without, where several young ladies' and
gentlemen are dlsporting themselves, completes
the affair, and makes 1t one OF the most curious
specmens Of workmanship In the hall.
