The display of horses andeatt . leProm
to be very fine, a large number of entries,
having been made. The imported cattle oil !
Tames McKelvy of Wilkinsburg,nrid Wm?: .

much attention among stock breeders, es
pecially the Alderney stook of the latter
gentleman. A number of other imported
cattle and cross breeds are entered, but had
not arrived at the time we left the grounds,
but which may be seen this morning. A
number of Spanish Merino and Coltswold

these we have as yet no variety.. W. 8..
Herriott, of South Fayette township, has en
tered quite a number of 'fine wooled sheep,'
which can be seen this morning; and of
which a further description will.be given. ,
The Swine and Poultry department is not
yet opened, but from the entries we should
judge that a fair exhibition will betnade.
AGRICULTURAL .m.trLEarazirs.

Near Power Hall a large display' of agri
cultural implements of all kinds will be
made, and at a late hour rest evening the
entries in this department werequite large.
Pittsburgh will •be largely.represented
this class, and a number or.entries have' ;
been made from other sections of the State,
all of which will be a valuable display for
the inspection of the agriculturist..
VEGETA.BLE DISPLAY
The 'display of vegetables as yet is quite
small. Some mammoth pumpkins and
'
squashes are noticeable in this department,
but the number of entries as yet, s.very 1 1
small
THE POMOLOGICAL DEPARTNE T. r\\\
The varieties of fruits, as far as entered,
are very good, but they are small in num- -
her. The grape exhibition promises to be
very fine. The unfavorable season, how

The floral dispivs of Pittsburgh and Al
legheny county nave always been excel
lent. Our nurserymen have been noted for
their taste and fine arrangenient of flowers
and shrubbery, and we feel warranted in
saying that the exhibition of flowers and
shrubbery will be a feature worth noticing
in this exhibition. Messrs. Murdoch and
Bennett will make a fine display this year,
well worthy of their already established
reputation as florists.
FOOD, CONDIMENTS, &D.
But few entries had been made up to last
evening, which were well worthy of a spe
cial notice, but we will await a further dis
play, as the number of exhibitors will be
quite large as per the ""names upon the list.
MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.
The department of Fine Arts, located in
ArtiSts' Hall, is yet very meagre, being
mostly confined to photographs. We no
ticed that a part of the Floral department
will occupy this hall. We noticed a, very
fine model of the Great Republic, made by
John Stedman of. Rochester, by a penknife,
which is really an artist's production, and
which attracts a groat deal of attention. It
was in the Domestic.department last evAn
ing; but will be placed to-day in Artists'
Ball for exklbiti-n. As we write. a large
number of entries for all departments are
being made,.and should to-,day be pleasant
a large attendance is anticipated..,
Special 'trains will be run on the Alle
gheny Valley, Connellsville, and!Pennsyl
vania Bean:lad.. for the accommodation of
visitors during the Fair, which with the
street cars will afford easy access to the
grounds, and should the weatheibe favor ;
able akirge attendance may be anticipated.
DINING HALL: -
. -.
- Persons visiting the Fair can be accom
modated with an excellent meal at Me,srs.
Stewart, Campbeli and Gregg's, the well
known caterers of this city, wno have the
only dining rooms on the grounds, and
who will furnish meals at all hours. We
cheerfully recommend them to the patron
age of the public.
