From Tuesdays Fair Daily.
Floral hall presents some very at
tractive features ; at the same time it
is not near a complete in its displays
as it was last year, and even then it
was open to Improvement. We are
surprised that the hall is not filed
with sthings of beauty which are
joys forever" Quite a number Of
articles we're sent around too late for
entry. We trust next year the hall
will be crowded with displays. This
matter should be attended to. The
floral hall should be made the lead
ing feature of Our fair. Among those
displays which have been made we
notice the following, all of which are
very attractive and neatly arranged:
James Pasqueth, the s'old reliable
SADDLE and harness maker of Mexico,
has one of the best and most complete
displays we ever saw. Clark & Tur-
ner have a fine display Of sewing ma.
chimes. Mixer & Co., of the New

London, Oct. 29.--At rent receiving
fiices In Athlone, Moate. Mullingar.
itoscommon and other towns In West
Ireland, large number Of tenants paid
their rent In accordance with abste-
ments, despite the land leagues advice

A telegram from Armagh says that
cells have been prepared In the jail
there for Parnell and forty others.
The Irish outlook Is decidedly better
since the opening OF tho land court
which is overwhelmed with business.
Tho "no rent" policy has destroyed
the sympathy OF the radicals with the
Irish party.
Parnell's Imprisonment saved him
from political suicide, say London re-
