THIRD DAY.

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
ing the entries, the Secretary's office was
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
ART GALLERY,
where, i'll the large display of fine pictures
OH exhibition by our talented and veteran
artist, Mr.. T. NJ. Schleier, we particularly
noticed beautifully executed pearl type
in oil colors of Miss Bette Haynes. 1t is
the largest picture on porcelain that is
made and being in oil, with all its fresh
ness of tint, is indeed gem, and as such
is priced by the young lady's mother, for
whom it was taken.
Immediately above this picture hangs a
very fine large photograph of little Miss
Della Bailey, which is exquisite in tone
and beautiful y executed. These pictures

We further notice half dozen or more
finely finished photographs of ladies who
move in the highest circles of society.
These photographs are Of new style, with
perfect background, bringing the picture
prominently forward, and are fully equal
to the work of the best eastern.galleries.
Mr.. Schleier is the pioneer in photo
graphic art in this city, and is worthy of
the praise awarded him for the skill he has
manifested and the zeal that has charac-
terized his efforts to advance and promote
a love and appreciation of art. His estab-
lishment in this city is an emporium Of
art and its admirers can spend an hour
most pleasantly in examining the pictures
with which its walls are lined.
Mr. VIM III Huddle, pupil of Tonnes
sees distinguished artist, Mr. F Fisher,
in our cit y last winter, exhibits an oil por-
trait of an old lady, and three life-size cray
on portraits, copied from ca1teS dc Uisttc by
T M Schleier, which would do credit to
any studio. We noticed also some exqui-
site landscapes, in water colors, by Mrs
Warning.
Mr. SomervilIe sends''a fine head of New
FOundland dog.
Miss Julia Jackson splendid pencil
sketch of sheep.
O B Smith & Co also have several line
pictures from their store, among which we
notice the premium chrome for the best
jelly cake.
"s SPEED RING.
For dash of one mile, all ages, running,
there were five entries.
Robert Wood, enters g.
Jos Guthrie, enters G. n~
Robert Brown, enters b 6.
w II HOuk, enters m
VIM Ford, enters m.
All started at the word, Woods grey
leading all the way round, with Browns
bay close behind. Time, 1:54.
This was the only race, there being no
entries for the mile dash for three year
olds, running, nor in the trotting race for
three year olds.
To-day the interest in this department
will be increased by two races for the two
second highest premiums, beside smaller
premiums, and those omitted yesterday for
want of entries. Lovers of the turf should
not fail to be present and witness the trial
of speed. y
