The interior of the main building pre-
sentcd much more attractive appearance
yesterday than at the same time last year.
Then not nearly all of the exhibors had
their exhibits read for exhibition, and some
OF them bad not even come upon the
grounds. Yesterday, however, the space
allotted each was occupied and many OF
the exhibitors had utilized the the time in
arranging their booths and making them
presentable.. Many of them are entirely
completed and il is only justice to say that
all are superior to the display of the first
year in beauty, in tastefulness of arrange
ment and in choice of articles for exhibit
bition To-day all the booths will be ready
for the popular gaze and all will be well
come.
The art gallery is not yet finished, but
the receipts of pictures are very numerous,
! and their arrangement under the supervl-
sion of Col. Simon McColloch, the Misses
Jennie Bailey and Sophie Logan, reflects
much credit upon their artistic taste: Ma
ny of the pictures are easily recognized as
they did duty last year, but they are all
the more welcome on that account. The
| display of photographs by Myles Il Son,
| and the crayons and paStels by John
| Mvles are universally admired. The foun.
tain has been materially improved and
| bcautifed, and many new features are no
ticcable among the ornaments abOutit. In
the pond in addition to the bass, there are
several very large and very fire German
| Carp, that attracted much attention.
