EMBROIDERY AND YEEDLEwoRK.
The display of embroidery and needle
work at the Fair was an improvement
on all preceding fairs, both as to quantity
and quality. Among those specimens
which we, in common with all the visi-
tors at the Fair, regarded as especially
tasty and beautiful, we mention the en-
broidered and braided pillow-slips worked
by that estimablo lady, Mrs. Thomas H..
Cooke. These pillow-slips were adorned
with both blue and red ribbon, they
having been awarded both the first and
second premiums.

and game celebrity, has the honor OF
possessing the handsomest wagon ex-
hibited at the Fair. This wagon was

and is model of taste and beauty. Our
friend Fuchs says he will take an air
ing " in his new rig tomorrow.
