by a compact steam engine standing on the end of the sewing coun- 

 ter, and supplied by a steam pipe from the lower story. A catalogue 

 of what the firm has made in this department cannot be given here; 

 suffice it to say that nearly every kind of men's, children's, and 

 women's wearing apparel is manufactured with neatness and 

 strength, and is turned out with great expedition. This introduc- 

 tion of a complete manufactory of this kind into a fair is a novel 

 and interesting feature. In the small hall, immediately back of the 

 exhibit in the main hall, and connecting with it by doors, is the 

 millinery, drygoods, hat, and variety department. Here are shown 

 many rich and choice silks and satins, latest styles of hats, French 

 millinery, jewelry, optical goods, shoes, boys' clothing, infants' suits, 

 elegant opera cloaks, fine dress goods, etc. The lighting of these two 

 departments is very superior, and both are flooded with light from 

 scores of burners, many having reflectors and casting the light 

 downward. The fine upright showcases are thirty-four feet long by 

 ten feet high. As a whole, the exhibit is one to be seen frequently 

 and examined critically, and will well repay for the examination. 



James G. Davis makes a very fine display of upholstered drawing- 

 room furniture, with the richest of material, and executed in the

 also displays a handsome office or library table, and rich library case.

 Pavilion.
