named. A crazy quilt, made by Miss Annie
Kelly, of Havre de Grace, deserves especial
mention, for its beauty.
The ladies of Hartford have evidently been
industrious, during the last year, as the many
varied, useful and beautiful articles manu-
featured by them attest.
One of the most pleasing departments is
the children's, in which there are 1928 entries
of bread, biscuit, pies, cakes, needle work,
&c. We can not give the names OF all our
young friends but mention those whose ex-
hibits are most numerous They are Zenobia
Hanna, who has upwards of 80 articles /;

The exhibit of work by the pupils of our
public schools was, perhaps, not as large as
usual but it gave gratifying evidence of the
excellence of the system of instruction pur-
sued. Specimens of painting and drawing
by Misses Maud F. Shure and Lydia NJ. Day
deserve especial praise.
The floral exhibits are more numerous and
beautiful than ever. Among those who have
the largest display are Miss Bertha GLADDEN.,

The absence of gambling devices to lure
the young into paths of vice was a commend
able feature of the fair, and the directors de-
serve the thanks of the community for their
firmness in resisting the appeals of the sport
ing fraternity to introduce their games. Large
gums of money were offered by some of them
for the privilege of exhibiting wheels of for
tune, &c.
The directors, with praseworthy foresight,
had the race-track and grounds around the
buildings sprinkled with water, every night,
thereby adding materially to the comfort OF
visitors.
