THE FAIR.
The fair opened yesterday under the most
suspicious circumstances. Although the
EXHIBITS were far from being complete at
the time of opening, they rapidly pro
crossed and were in a much more advanced
| state Than on the opening day of any pre-
v:ous exhibition. The arrangements are
excellent and the board of directors and the
/ very efficient staff in the secretary's Office
deserve great credit for the interchangeable
manner in which they work and the com
/ pleteness and precision with which the
| arrangements are carried out.
