Wednesday--Second Day.
To-day was equally propi,ious with yes
terday in respect to the weather, as not
cloud was visible the entire day. and the at.
mosphcre was sufficiently calm to preclude
the possibility of the dast troubling oven
ehe esest captious grumbler.
On the score of people present the crowd
to-day exceeded even our most sancuine cx
pectations, and the dulincss which peryaded
che Grounds yesterday was consequently
entirely dispelled by the animation and
life which seemed to pervade the entire
scene. The show men, oil men, 'sthimble
riggers, were all noisy to almost an anu.

closely waged to the outcome. the former

THE PAVILION
rhe display of articles in the paviI;o,
was much better to-day than yesterday. and

eies OF alike nature, we never saw tbo n-o.

needle work department the. exhibition is
quite creditable. In the agricultural eias,
we observed quite number of varieties Of
wheat, oats, etc., but it seems to us Linn

theme of remark and admiration among the
