by the interest taken by the people of the
State. Ths Pavilion display, as whole,
compares fsyorably with those Of former years
SIS to quality of all the exhibits. There is
less of fruit, grapes and vegetables, and
less of mechanical exhibits, but not
withdrawing that the Pavilion is as
well filed as in most former years.
As it addresses itself to the eye, il ia better
exhibition than any held for many years. 1t
is evident, from the remarks Of the visitors
and exhibiturs, and from the character and
number Of the exhibits, that if the Pavilion
was one of single floor and ample area. the
annual expoGtion would at once treble in
size, variety and interest. Its present con-
formation simply repulses exhibitors from
| abroad, and bre SKIS up departments. The ex-
pressions of the people visiting the Pavilion
are conn limeptary and evidence their salts
| faction. The music last evening by the First
Artillery Band was excellent, aud each selec-
ton was received with hearty approval by
the multitude Of psople assembled.
