The exhibition of Fine Arts has this year been very large and 

 excellent, comprising many paintings of great value and inter- 

 est, and other entries of great merit, which have added much to 

 the interest of the Fair. 



The exhibition of Photographs, Ambrotypes, etc., from artists 

 of the State, have been large and excellent ; and some speci- 

 mens of Colored Photographs exhibited by Mr. Ilesler, of Chi- 

 cago, 111., in his elegant collection, seemed to be perfection itself- 

 Take it all in all, the exhibition in every department was 

 good, and is evidence of the increasing interest taken in the 

 fine arts by the people of our State and by our artists to try and 

 excel. We award premiums as follows :
