EXHIBITION HALL.
While the ambition and interest of the men
is excited by the horses, cattle, sheep and
swine out of doors, the ladies always find
abundant qualification in Exhibition Hail.
This department was in charge of Mr..
Andrew Boyle, who was ably assisted by
Miss Julia Hugo, Mr.. Geo. NJ. Barton being
her chief assistant. The display was not as
large as usual, but the articles shown were
very beautiful and were arranged with a
tastethat secured most attractive appearance
The jellies, preserves, canned fruits, pies,
cakes, bread, confectionery, &C., were SO
temptingly arranged that hungry visitors had
to hurry away lest they might violate the
eighth or tenth commandment, or both
The Chidrens department was, as usual,
interesting, as showing the skill of Harfords
little folks
In the main building Mr.. VIM. G. Jeffrey
had display of the well-knowA Domestic
sewing machine, with samples of work done
by it, together with the Miller organ, a sweet
toned instrument.
Mr.. c. M. Cullum represented Sanders &
Stayman, of Baltimore, with the celebrated
Estey organ and Fisher piano.
&Wm. Heinekamp s. Son exhibited one of
their pianos and a Needham organ.
The drawings and paintings denoted the
fact that the fair ladies of Hartford do not
spend all their time in embroidery, needle
work, knitting and making good things, but
that many of them follow their artistic in
clinations. Some china plates, decorated
with flowers by Miss Hannah B.Lee, of Bel
Air. were beautiful and executed in credta-
BILE manner. Mrs. s. A. S. Kyle showed
number of excellent paintings and drawings.
