We were really pleased TO note the very
handsome and elaborate display made by
our Main street china and queensware
dealer, Mr. Chris WinCher, al the State
Fair. He occupied the center stand on the
north side of the east wing Of the Main Ex-
position Hall. and to say that he displayed
taste in the arrangement and selection OF
bis goods would not even do him justice.
Prominent among his exhibit were hand
some stone china dinner set OF l76 pieces.
offered at $2l.85; q large number OF plated
steel spoons at the wonderfully low figure
of soc Der dozen for teas and Sl.5O per
dozen for table spoons. Besides these were
all endless variety of glassware, motto
cups, toilet sets, glass shades, etc.
MyIes' Art Studio.
We can not refrain FROM making special
reference 10 the artistic display OF Myles'
Art Studio. They occupied the southeast
corner, near the centre OF the main exposi-
ton hail, near the aquarium. While the
display was all worthy Of considerable
mure praise and comment than is possible
Ia devote TO it here, yet special mention
should be made to the pastel portrait OF
Mr.. VIM. F. Stifers littlegrl. To say that
il was we'll executed would not half fill
the bill, il is certainly a masterpiece OF
art. There was also a pastel por.
trait of Hon. Caleb Borgess., OF
Clarksburg, the celebrated lawyer of the
Il. & y. K. r., and he must certainly feel
elated over such correct and artistic piece
OF work. Mr.. Myles in work of this
kind, has no competitor i'll this city.
There is also portrait Of Col. Jacob
Nunge, whom everybody recognized at
glance, it being certainly speaking like
ness Besides these mentioned there was
very correct portrait vi Mr.. James Nc
Gin!ey, our East Wheeling coal merchant.
A handsome crayOn portrait uf Miss Sallie
Summers, of ClarkSburg, added grace To the
coll. cIiOn, but the one that attracted uni
vtISa attention WAS a charcoal sketch,

well as last year carries off the gold medal.
