As g sorrow from heart to heart.
From the bloom and the gloom that enclosea
The death bed of love where he,dozes,
Till a relic be left not of sand
To the hour glass that breaks in his hand
From the change in the grey garden closes
To the last stray grass on the strand,
A rain and rnin of roses
Over the red rose land.

was unexceptionally good. Mr.. G..

Sons. orchestra organ, and Mr.. G..
W. Rickle the famous Esty, which
though apparently pipe organ is
virtually a reed instrument. The
playing of it by Mrs. Rickle who al
so very sweetly rendered several vO-
cal solos, assisted in the chorus by
some pupils of Mr.. Rickle, lent an
additional charm to the gathering,
was much admired and certainly
showed off the Esty to perfection.
Mr.Leppelman had also a number of
very fine instruments on hand, which
were much admired, and also a
variety ofthe leading makes in sew
ing machines. Messrs. Ryan & Co.
of Front Street, exhibited a most
elaborate case of lace, silk kerchiefs,
| gloves, and ladies fancy wearing ap-
pa1el, which won the highest enco-
miums and earned high opinion of
the splendid stock kept by that firm.
Messrs. Beck & Crum, of Burgoon,
agents for the United States organ,
were also here, accompanied by Mr.
J. Fitzgerald, the noted violinist, land
formed quite a pleasant party, the
noted instrument they represented
giving an account of itself which
could not fail to commend it to pub
lie patronage, it is splendid instru-
ment and worthy the utmost conf
dence. We now come to the mag
nifcent display of fine art specimens
by the eminent firm of McKecknie &
Thompson, of Toledo. Here was
a lovely scenic sketch of leading
prima donna of the present day
making her debut before the audi
ence and showered with bouquets,
she is in the most graceful at
titude imaginable, bowing to the
enraptured audience. The lovely
flowing tresses, the facinating smile
and charming figure of the young ac-
tres-almost life size-is irresistible,
drawing forth the general observa-
ton cit beats creation" Governor
Allen, almost life size, also found
numerous admirers, andis a perfect
masterpiece in itself. The likeness
of pretty little girl, subject "Look
at me and I'll look at you"was charm
ing to degree, while the portraits of
several local residents drew forth the
highest encomiums on the artist, Mr..
Thompson, who happening to be
present, and verify second Mast,
sketched off several ludicorous
scenes transpiring around, which Gre
ated much amusement and laughter.
Of Mr.. Thompson we can only say
he is one of the finest and cleverest
fellows we ever met and in point of
ability has earned areputation here
quite equal to the high distinction
he achieved at the Chicago exposi-
ton, this year.
SPEECHES
At 1 o'clock the crowd gathered
around the speakers stand to listen
to the speaking. After music by the
band, Gen. Buckland took the stand
and entertained the immense throDg
with some pertinent remarks which
were well received. He was followed
by Ex- Governor Hays, who urged
not merely the necessity Of practical
agriculture, but also that of orna-
mental cultivation and adornment to
make their homes and farms attrac-
tive as Eden. He referred with COM
mendation to the example set by his
friend, Mr.. Finnefrock, in beautify-
ing his grounds, and urged a more
general improvement of that kind.
After the remarks the crowd dis
persed to take up their positions
around the track to witness the
RACES.
