The Fair.

At this time of writing, the prepara-
tions for the Fair are in such q state of
sorwardness as to warrant in predicting
one of the best exhibitions ever given
since the formation Of the society. Ar
t;cles have not yet been very generally
brought on the grounds. We find,
however, good supply Of mowers,
of Warjcr, Mitchell & Co., who have an
agent on the ground. Also in the same
line Morrow s. Co., witbeck Bros,
Haynes & Wells show some very fine
agricultural implements. Slower, Of
Kalamazoo, Mich, has sample wind.
mill in operation, for farmers use,
osting from $s5 to 500.
Floral Hall, under the supervision of
DIR. Holbrook, is being very tastefully
fitted up and decorated. The floral ex-
hibition, made mostly by Mrs. Doland,
occupies the centre, and is especially
worthy of notice. Our artist, Mr.. Saw
tell, has large and beautiful collection
of pictures and paintings, that cannot
fail to attract the attention of visitors,
WhtiC VIA u
er collection containing specimens of
his own work with pen and pencil. A
pencil portrait of Gen. Garfield shows
creditable skill. IIoyt and Woolley fill
q section with choice specimens of cab
met ware, that speak hopefully of the
taste and enterprise of the new firm.
The new hall, of which we have be.
fore made mention, is So # long by %
#. wide, and is occupied by the follow
ing business houses for the display of
goods and manufactured articles in their
several lines, and are fitted up with
rare taste and elegance: E. Benedict,
Lang & Pierce, j. w. Wilbur, j. Otter
bacher, S. Z. Hastings, Smith & Jordan,
A. NJ. Fitch, j. II. Wight, Everett &
Starr, VIM. Vischer, A. G. Couch,
Baldwin, Laundon & Co., and Hustled
Bros. The almost universal complaint
by the exhibitors is lack of room.
Twice the space could be easily occu-
pied, and the effort in this direction
gives an indication of the improvements
that may be expected the coming year.
We might particulsrize had We space,
but as it is, we must say that this hall
adds an attraction to our fair that can
not fail to bring hosts of visitors and as
an advertisement for the exhibitors, 1t
will prove profitable outlay. E. s.
1Elpp Hds u uuc SuOW VI carriages anu
wagons, as usual.
The show Of stock will be very choice
though perhaps not so large as in some
former years. Already a good collection
of sheep, swine and poultry are on the
grounds. About 600 entries were made
up to Tuesday night. The dining hall
has been put in excellent order and a
number of other eating and drinking
stands are in different parts of the grove.
In the way of attractions the man who
ex hibits learned hog and several wild
animals has tent on the ground, and
also u man with live alligators and two
pets-ursine seals, which seem to be as
intelligent and we'll trained as dogs.
There will be no lack of attractions,
and the management have wisely deter
mined to allow no gaming or other di-
version of questionable character on the
grounds. Our friends from the country
must not fail to attend. The citizens
and business men are taking hold of
this matter in earnest, and there will
be nothing lacking to make it \ success
but the failure of the people TO give it
their support. We are obliged to defer
more extended account until next
week.
