In Class 8 we found sandstone from Bellipg-
ham Bay, by Henry Roeder limestone from

most of the sole leather manufactured at Tum-
water. The same firm exhibited some neat
and durable frebuckets, equal to any we have
seen. J. b. Biles e. Co., OF Tumwater, exhib-

beautiful and valuable sets Of furs, feather

tic siding, scrolls, oval frames, and yellow
fir board one inch thick, As inches wide and
10 feet long, clear and without blemsh, except
small sound knot within a few inches of one
end. These were exhibited by Ward & Mitchell,
as also some excellent water buckets, made at
their mill at Tumwater. Other articles worthy
o! special mention were pair of oars by j. II.
Clcale . neat set of croquettc implements
made at Steilacoom water pipe, manufactured
by the Washington Water Pipe Company, by
their patented asphaltum process. In the
same department we noticed beautiful speci-
mems of bird s-eye and curly alder, the growth
ofPierce county an elegant Newell Cap turned
from bird eye maple by ID. q. Beatty m orig.
inal and convenient device tor clothes-rack
by l.. ID. Durgn the already famous cross cut

iature horseshoe made by Henry Hicks, a lad
twelve years Of age; fair specimens of black
smithing by Baldwin, Kuhn, Smith aud Bout
well, and a new shackle nude by Peter Rim
quest, OF Steacoom. A curiosi in this line
is also worthy of note--a pair of miniature COM
passes made by convict in the Jail, of two
nails, with only the aid of a rasp.
In Glass l3, we observed beautiful and
elaborate beG.quilt, exhibited by Mrs. r. S.
w hite, containing 8, 800 pieces; one by Mrs.
Turpin, Of unique design, but probably the
handsomest was exhibited by Mrs. Pattison
and Mrs. j. B. Biles. A rag carpet exhibited
by Mrs. Elder, engaged considerable attention,
being woven with rag warp, in checker-work.
Elegant Aighans exhibited by Mrs. W. w.
Miller and Mrs. McElroy, were certainly very
creditable specimens OF haudiwork. Lamp
mats in worsted, by Mrs. Samuel Stork of Port
Angeles, and worsted and beads by Mrs. Oui-
mette, Mrs White, and Ella Patterson, Child's
crochet counterpart. by Mrs. Mitchell, speci.

able specimens of the taste and skill of our
ladies' ~ ,.. ~ ..5se. l..p1L
C,ass II embraced contributions in the fine
arts, aud was one of the most interesting fea-
,tnres of the Fair. In the rear end of the hall,
was IA magnificent oil painting Of Seattle Bay,
showing Mount Rainier in the distance, the
bay in the foreground studded with sail and
steam vessels, with Seattle and Freeport, and
the forest shore line to embelish the scene.
The picture is four by seven feet, mounted in
rich and massive gilt and rosewood frame.
An oil painting by Geo Pethorick, represent.
ing the lower tails of Tumwater was decidedly
artistic, and ELECTED glowing encomiums The
Straits OF Fuca, craon. sketch and a pencil
bas-relief representing Morning" by the same
artist were truly excellent in design and fault
less in execution. uShakseare and his
Friends" an oil painting by s. Roberts. of
Steilacoom, was also much admired. Three
oil paintings 10y Miss Jennie Patterson, (copies)
were probably among the best executed on ex-
bibition, indicating a high order Of talent.
The remaining oil paintings were creditable,
among which we note &. The Lesson" swat
for me, - and another view of Tumwater, all
three executed by N. T. Murry, Of Tamwater
among the Crsyon sketches we may particu-
iarly refer to the small landscapes of Mrs. Big
Glow, and to Lake George" executed by Ed.
Pullen (when twelve years Of age) a really
credtable production. A specimen of mono
coromatic drawing by Miss Mollie Post, repre-
senting a vase of flowers and fruit, was much
admired. The exhibition, Of shell-frames was
so varied and attractive that it Is difficult to
discriminate when all were SO meritorious
among the most prominent we may, however,
name those exhibited by Capt. Hale, Mrs. Nor
rlf1, and Mrs. Bigelow. A leather frame aud
paper flowers and vase OF flowers composed
entirely of the plumage Of the birds of the Ter
ritori, executed by Mrs. Sternberger, were
probably the handsomest articles on exhibition.
In the latter, the shading OF flowers was imi.
tated by the skillful arrangement of the faath.
