Japs OF last evening fully held up the
reputation Of tho nation in those char
acteristlcs. II is not often that such

Tho Japanese booth was modelled
with fidelity from q photograph Of

specimens Of Japanese ware, tho prop
orty OF Prof. Birch, which were nd

much attention was genuine idol,
brought from Japan, and which had Tor
years been worshipped by family in
that country. Another fenture was II
Japanese boil, which is Of entirely DIFF
icFent shape from tho American STYLE
looking more like tho half OF al i'm.
mense gourd than anything else. 1t is

posed to be nearly three centuries old.
Tho wares for sale here are all Japan
csc and tho stock is large aud attrac.

The Irish village was ono OF the most
popular resorts about the fair. The
principal feature was the criminal court
which held forth in its precincts. N.
D. Post, as tile chief justice, Patrick Nc.
Fresh. was, a great SUCCESS. He fined
offenders and imaginary offenders
brought to the bdr OF justice by tho
policeman, Lou Huseman, without
turning hair, and ii they didn't pay
up, the dungeon was. their fate. One
well known young man whose namc is
mercilully withheld was fined ten cents
Tor being IN possession of an idea for
which no had no earthly use. 4 young
newspaper man wac fined Tor "beating
his way in" And thus it went on
throughout the evening 4 piano was

songs to great effect, including Mr.. Will
