THIRD DAY.
Every succeeding day has been more
successful than the one preceding, and the
Directors and people generally are perfect
| ly satisfied. The number of entries eX-
coed two thousand in all departments, and
the clerical force of the Society are taxed
to the utmost in keeping up with their
books. Up to the time set for discontinue

crowded with applicants having articles
they desired to exhibit, and so great was
the press that many had to forego Compel
ing for premiums and content themselves
with merely exhibiting the same.
Increased attractions were observed in
every department, large additions having
been made during the day. This was espe-
cially true in the

whom it was taken.
