Hn the EaaI!.
The hall shew was opened to the public last
evening, and until 10 O'Clock it was well pat
ronized for an opening night The brilliant
display excitsd The admiration of all visitors,
aud this may be set down as tho largest and
choicest exhibit of fancy goods, manufactured
articles, fruits and vegetables the society has
ever MADE. The entries are arranged with
considerable taste, aud on that account make
far better show than they otherwise would.
During the evening, Macomb-E's band gave
concert from the balcony.
There have been two hundred new entries
including vegetables dry goods aud fancy ar
ticles, and the lack of space only prevents us
from printing the names of the contributors
