display 0P working Cf machinery, every
thing was Sc rese. People generally were
aware that .uch would be the case, yet the
attendance was quite large, and all were
vastly pleased. Some of the committees
have passed on the en- ries and awarded
prizes. We were pleased 20 notice blue
ribbons Cn several articles presented by
Mr. Challeville, the well known gunsmith
of No. s. St. Charles street. His enterprise
and excellent Judgment entitle him to the
four diplomas awarded him.
Our neighbor, Gresham, made his offering
in the way of books, with credit to himself
and the fair Although his order on east
ern houses did not reach him in time to
place the. articles Oh exhibition, he did
| well.

| The sewing machines filled an important
place, and the agents were agreeable, each
ANXIOUS to inform the public of their pecu-

award will be made for them.
In the line of vehicles there is consider
able competition, and the entries are quite
numerous. From the frailest of buggies
and childIehs carriages to heavy wagons,
a purchaser can fad all that will suit.
