EXPOSITION HALL.
There are many features in the spec
linens of artistic work and the various
little trifleS which the ladies delight
to fashion, which merit far more at
tention than we are able to give, but
Il pair of portraits drawn in crayon by
Mrs. James w. Hamilton are especial
lymoteworthy. The children's depart
ment is filled with articles, so attrac-
tive and pleasing, especially in the
pastry line, as to almost awaken skep-
ticism as to their being the handiwork
of youth.
\ good space is occupied by the
Henry Reckord Manufacturing Com
pany in display of their fertilizers
and the various growths which they
have fostered. Corn of unusual size
and beauty, mammoth cabbages, po-
tatoes and other roots, with wheat
and kindred grains, all of a style
which speaks volumes for the phos-
pilates. An interesting exhibit shows
vessels containing wheat in every
stage, as it passes through the roller
mill, from the first crack of the grain
to the snowy flour, and as an annex,
the various articles which are made
from it, bread, rolls and cakes, as
manipulated in the leading bakeries
OF Bel Air, Havre de Grace and Balti-
more.
NOTES.
The music is furnished by the
NorrisviIle Band under the skillful
leadership of Mr.. John Richey, and
is all that could be desired.
The fakirs are numerous, and there
are several side shows.
The floral show, while small, is an
exceedingly beautiful one, handsome
flowers, handsomely arranged.
The attendance on Tuesday was a
very limited one owing to the storm.
The exhibition hall and grand stand
offered the only places of refuge from
the rain and wind which blew the
water in sheets over the wet ground
and added to the general discomfort.
On Wednesday a clear sky and warm
weather changed the aspect of affairs,
but only moderate attendance could
be noted The entire morning was
occupied in clearing away and re-
pairing the ravages Of Tuesday nights
storm. On Thursday however the
crowd Oh hand repaid their absence
on the first two days. About ten
thousand people were congregated
Lpon the grounds.

ed by the board of managers is
