| CUYAHoGA CoUNTY.-From the Cleve-
land Leader we clip the following:
| According to announcement the North
ern Ohio Fair opened Monday morning at
| the grounds of the Association, though the
| inclement weather and the labor and prep
| aration always consequent upon such a
gigantic exhibition really made Tuesday
1 the opening. Those who inspected the
different halls and departments. who
| compared the space now occupied with
that occupied on the first day last year,
were capable of forming a fair estimate OF
| the immense progress the fair has made
in one year. At the last exhibition sever
al halls were enlarged and new buildings
| were added. and the demand to-day is for
more room. The stalls and sheds used
| last year for cattle. horses, sheep, and
swine, would to-day suffice for but little
more than half the entries. The profusion
| Of entries in the large fruit and vegetable
hall necessities the greatest economy of
| room. The display on the shelves is mag
nificent. The floral department has ex-
tended from the three large rooms for
merly occupied by the sewing machine de
partment and yet it is cramped for room
to spread its rich branches. The domes-
tic and manufacturers apartments pre-
sent the best display ever seen in this Sec
tion of the country, and we are informed
by the superintendent that the hall must
be greatly enlarged before another year
The fine art hall is already a beautiful
gallery Of paintings, steel engravings,
chromos, photographs and works of art
The stove department is filed up with
beautiful stoves and divers inventions fol
cooking and heating; power hall abounds
with rare specimens of machinery and
mechanical novelties and the large lawn
devoted to the exhibition of agricultural
implements is now covered with a large
number of the finest productions of the
best manufacturers of the United States
The entries in every department are sufi
cient in number to fill every foot Of avail
able exhibition space on the grounds
while their intrinsic value, or novel char
acter, is sufficient to make them interest
ing. The facilities for obtaining warn
| meals on C0e GROUNDS were never better
than this year. The First Methodist
Church has large space devoted to sup
plying the wants of the hungry, where
warm meals, ice cream, lemonade anG
other refreshments can be had at a mo
ments notice. From fifteen to twenty
young ladies stand ready during the
whole day to wait upon the public, an(
they pei Iform their duties i'll such an agree

A popularity in their food, they say, il

leaving thk fair grounds to return at half
past eight.
Next week we shall present a ful
ler report of this great Fair.
