a cheering indication to the managers that the
people showed a laudable ambition to spend mo-
ney, and the receipts at the various booths were
very encouraging. The reception Of Gen. Sher-
man, assisted by the members Of his staff, was
well attended, and his many admirers inside and
outside OF military circles embraced the opportu-
nifty to grasp the old veteran by the hand.
