so far rs TO leave no doubt that all viii be
ready by eight o'clock this evening, when
TIE opening will take ~place-with what
pOmp and circumstance is indicated below.
The interior Of the capaciOus enclosure
altogether presented, yesterday, such an APP
pcarance as to give strong hope of 4 most
successful fair. The department for ma
Chinery is large and already contains 4
great many machines. The engine BY

position and in running order. We no

for myriadS Of lighter articles, Of which a
considerable variety was already on hand,

as they have all been.
