A Fine Display at the Fair.

One of the finest aud most attractive dis
plays at the Fair is that in the north wing
of the Main Exhibition building made by
Joseph Graves & Son, whose extensive busi-
ness is carried on at No. 26 Twelfth street,
city. Everything IN the line OF wallpaper
and stationery, with fancy articles too Ru-
merous to mention, are here displayed, and
the exhibit, besides attracting attention by
shsre merit, impresses all who see il with
the taste shown in the arrangement Of the
goods. There is q large show case, contain
ing toilet cases, papsr weights of unique
designs, albums, pocket.books, and other
things OF like nature, all Of handsome form
and finish. Arranged upon the walls of the
space allotted to the exhibitor are quaint
Japanese panels of the curious designs pc
cul;ar to that little-known land, while flank
ing these on either side are rich screens,
rich in color and of the fiuest workmanship,
Wall decorations and wallpaper are also
shown in great variety, and altogether, the
display made by Mr.. Graves is well worth
looking at Indeed, Of the thousands who
daily pass it. there are few but who stop to
admire the exhibit. Those who have not
seen it should take look at il to-day.
A Great Attrac elton.
One OF the many attractions at the State
Fair is Prof Frasher's miniature Business
College. The walls were decorated with
elegant works of art executed entirely with
a pen. :.
Their railing was crowded with lockers
op, all anxious 10 seq the work done.
While some were ut work on their books,
other students were at WORK at shorthand
and on the caligraph.
Prof. Frasher drew large crowd to see
him give a lesson in Penmauship. And
in fact, at any time and as long "a he would
work at the board, he had a very large and
appreciative audience.
In the afternoon dense crowd gathered
to sec Prof. Wright's drill in rapid calcu-
lations, which consisted in his calling on
different members of the class, who step
ped to the board, and, while he extempo.
raneously gave them sums in interest and
other business problems, they, by some
mysteriously short method and in q re-
maksbly short space of time, wrote the
answers on the board.
The work done proves that the students
of Wheeling Business College are under
the instruction of live and efficient
teachers, and we think that any who wish
to fit themselves for active business cannot
do wiser thing than to avail themselves
of the advantages of this institution.
