less, during the morning and cleared m
often. After about three O'Clock in
the afternoon it was more settlsd. the
nun shining out clear for the bslance of
the day.
THK CROWD,

FLORAL HALL
again presented a handsome appearance,
and several new articles of interest were
noticeable. Mr.. Nicholson, the protector
of the hall, had with him, though not on
exhibition, his lovely little twin daugh-
tiers, Victoria and Ophelia. Their re-
semblance is something more than re-
markable. 1t is only since few months
ago that their own mother could distin-
guish them from each other, without
some mark of distinction placed On them
by herself, and they are now six years
old, They each deserve premium for
their pretty behavior. Another

portion of the young ladies and gentle
men who steend the Fair. Any number
of devoted couples may be seen at any
time pr0menading or seated off to them
selves eagaged in the delightful occupa-
