in the form of wIeaths and crosses. The
display of needle work was not as large
as formerly, but was prOnouced very
fine. We cannot make special mention
of but one or two articles, as all were
worthy of especial notice. Those were
Persian rugs and table covers of eXqui-
site fineness and color. Next we reach
the space allotted to C. Y. Lucas pian-

tlemen with him, contributed largely
to the enjoyment of visitors. Next we
find a very large display of the finest
fruits by MesSrs. Mckelvey, Denny, Ri
ley, Brown, McMechen and others. Next

WORD TO OUR FRIENDS.
We make our report hastily and under
unfavorable circumstances. With good
will to all exhibitors, we may have omit
ted something that we should have no.
ticed-if SO, we ask your pardon. We
do not wish to advertise or diSpaTage
the wares of a single individual. 9th
ers will report the horses on exhibition,
and the races. We feel that the public
should recognize the efficiency exhibited
in the management by the officers of the
Fair, and also note the courteous treat
ment of the managers of the Halls. In
kind remembrance of the many courte-
sizes extended to us, we say,
IN CONCLUSION,
that this has proved pleasant affair
a profitable affair-a good Fair-and
with fair ladies, fair Weather, and fair
treatment. a grand success. And now,
having told you what we know about it,
we remove our hat, make our best bow,
and reluctantly bid you one and all fare
well.
