day. Last night the crowd was especi-
ally large and brilliant. The ladies give
good dinner in the middle of the dav.
from about IL to 2 O'Clock, and number
OF gentlemen go out to the Tabernacle
Tor the purpose of enjoying the hospital
ity OF the ladies of the fair. A very nice
supper is also set out late in the after
noon, and ample refreshments in the
shape OF ice cream and tea.
The booths on the main floor are ex-
celiently kept up, and lose none of their
beauty from day to day. The cosmos
