". 4 Terrl.

The rush Of people from the interior,
who wish to witness the closing events
Of the State Fair, is now on. Yesterday S
trains brought in a great many and
more will come to-day in order to be on
hand to see the running races, as we'll
a-s to attend the Pavilion and inspect the
splendid displays Of art and industry
therein.
Last night a large crowd of people
enjoyed the sights at the Pavilion. The
crush around the booth of the State
Horticultural Society. where cooked
dried fruits are dispensed, was
great, and demands for instructions and
recipe books were made by the thou
sand. The fruits were, to say the least,
excellent, and Mrs. La France, the lady
in charge of the culinary department,
obliging and courteous. The State
Board of Horticulture has made a
speciality of free instruction for pre-
pairing dried fruits for the table, and as
practical application of the principles
taught samples Of the fruit have been
freely given away to all oomers. The
success Of the exhibit has been flatter-
ing, and Secretary Lelong of the Board
of Horticulture is deserving Of credit.
IN THE ART GALLERY.
Sarah E. Bender's (4o) China AS
ters' is a good piece, as also Is (32),
Rose F. Lewis Basket Of Roses" But
we think each lady is capable Of better
results. While the wild Violets" of the
first named Q1O is not nearly so pre-
tentious a piece, we consider 1t as the
better finished and most artistic. Jules
Pages "Quai au Point QS3 is a
charming picture. It needs some time
Of study to develop its real strength.
J. Cleary's "Roses (202) is too dark a
picture. II may be, probably is accu-
rate, but 1t is too much in the shade to
be attractive. Amadee Joullins up
for Repairs" GID is a. boat study that Is
a very good piece of work Of the better
order, correct in drawing and well exc
cuted as to color and finish. Regina
O'Kane, a pupil of Miss White, has in
yellow Roses" (216) an excellent work
that reveals the controlling thought and
style of the accomplished teacher.
Heath's "Quiet POOL (225) is a charm
ing small work, cool, restful and feeling.
Sarah Bender's "Carnation Pinks" (245)
is very good, indeed, much superior to
the two pieces by her last noticed IN
these columns. Piexottos (232) Land
scape In Normandy" Is a. good work,
one Of strong points. The humid at
mospher1c conditions are well pre-
served.
LADIES WORK.
Crowds of ladies continue to visit and
examine the exhibits of fancy work at
the Pavilion, which, though not large,
is of great merit and q credit to the ex-
hibitors.
The exhibit of fancy wood-turning
made by Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. A. Bash
fords stands by itself, and Is deserving g
of all the praise 1t gets. The work has
been performed so as to show the natu-
raj grain Of the wood, which is now ad-
rnitted to exceed in beauty anything g
which comes from the graineTs comb.
The display consists Of frames, cubes,
vases, cup-and- saucer and several
other articles Of fancy and artistic de-
signs.
Probably the exhibit which has Gre
ated more curiosity than any other in
