THE FAIR.

Inc DISAPPOINTMENT as expressed
by some at the rather limited number
Of visitors upon the opening day, was
due perhaps to the general impression
that the Fair is not in working order
until the second day, and also to the
very sudden and decidedly chilly
change in the weather As a whole,
the display fully equalled and in some
departments surpassed all prior coca
sions- In artistic work, there was a
wider range and Of a more elaborate
character. As general thing. all
the articles Of every nature have 8
finer and more attractive appearance.
Cheap goods and fashy samples have
given place to substantial and artistic
specimens. The various lines are
well represented by substantial city
houses, and in the agricultural, horti-
cultural and genealogical departments,
Burlington county and its energetic
husbandmen never have been or will
be surpassed. The display Of fancy
work is very attractive, and in house
hold economies nothing more could be
desired. The Antique and Relic De-
partment attracted much notice. On
another occasion we purpose noting
carefully the exhibits and their his
tory.
