ance NJ tnelT meeting III tue alLcTUOOil,
! the time for making the announce
ment of premiums was postponed un-
til this evening. The specimens are
all In the hands of the chairman of the
committee and another attempt will
be made to-day to secure full meet
ing, which it is to he hoped will be
successful.
An error crept into our report of yes
terday in the statement that n fine
sewing-chair with upholstery worked
collection of Mrs. Anna Schulze and
was to be put up for rattle by her.
Mrs. SchulZe considers raffiing opera
tions questionable, and we gladly
make the correction and relieve her OF
the charge. The articles of handiworlS
on exhibition are really the finest of
the kind which we have ever seen. AS
part of the collection especially
worthy of note, we mention an elegant
rug worked in worsted, handsome
handkerchief case embroidered, cur
tain tapestry of beautiful designs, Jew
elry cases, reticules and large variety
of other fancy needle, bead and worsted
work. Mrs. Schultze has these arti-
cles for sale and also designs forming
class to instruct misses in this style
of fancy work. We can commend her
as most adept Instructor.
VIM. Slaney contributes a case of
boots,shoes and slippers of all the lead
ing styles. A pair of lady's satin
bootees with white body and gold
leaved trimming are the height of ele-
gance and fill a mans mind with Wis.,
ions of the witching waltz with fair
companion to sport them. EE
Herberger & Johannes have added
to their collection q crinoline chair
with green rep upholstery trimmed
with gold fringe. 1t is very suggest
i've of Opulence and ease.
Mr.. J. ID. Patrick has entered a par
lor organ, for which he holds the
agency.
S. c. Foy's collection Of saddles, har-
ness, robes, etc., still attracts the at
tention of all observers, and is the
subject of constant admiration. The
elegant three hundred dollar saddle
"takes the shine OFF, from anything
Of the kind which we have ever before
seen. To-day will be the last chance
to secure ticket in the rattle for this
fine piece of workmanship The rattle
will come Off at the Palace Saloon to-
night.
Some unknown agriculturist exhib-
its lot of mammoth beets, which we
should judge must weigh something
over a ton apiece. Their weight can't
be under hundred pounds.
The Wheeler q Wilson Sewing Ma
chine Agency have the largest collec-
tion of machines on display in the pa
vilion. With each machine samples
of its work are shown, among which
we saw fine silks, raw cotton, shoes,
gloves, etc.-heavy sewing and light,
all done in the most superior manner.
These machines vary in price from $65
to $3.50. Johnson's ruffiers and en-
broidering attachments are sold with
the machines.

tiles to most observers. g s4Aa
